"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Is there a marketplace where lots of AI generated assets are selling?

[–] terranoid@lemmy.cafe 38 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I remember someone who make ads was noticing their engagement dropped to nil after "saving money" with AI ads... They did an experiment. They handmade a cheap ad with cardboard and humans.

Engagement went way back up. People crave real art in a world of slop.

Yes, and even moreso than before GenAI.

One doesn't know what one takes for granted until one loses it, after all

[–] Hegar@fedia.io 9 points 4 days ago

I presume not many if so. But the article doesn't include any examples beyond this one. The headline has vastly overblown what the article actually is. I know that's pretty common now but it just bugs me.

Souvenir shops, maybe? I've been seeing lots of ugly AI slop printed on random objects in those corners and older tourists don't seem to mind. Although that might change as soon as feedback from family and friends arrives.

Advertising software gaming just not literally the whole thing obviously
