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" is a shit term. there are many different models and types of AI, the AI used to fold proteins are vastly different to GPT... and calling them all "AI" is a marketing stunt to lump the useful models with useless LLMs or diffusion models.
AI tools are useful and amazing, but "Generative AI" are just useless slop machines
Even gen AI has its place in my workflow. Gor instance, if there's a random bit of floating debris that catches the strobe on my camera and fucks up a portion of the image with the backscatter, generative fill tools vastly simplify the process of removing it. Yeah, I can do the old fashioned cloning and brushing path in many cases, but gen fill takes seconds and doesn't take away from my photos.
yes but that's a specific tool for a specific job. AI is useless if it generates everything
Exactly. There's a time and place for it. The difficulty comes in drawing where the line is.
Not that difficult, that's why Superman is handing you a pencil, so you can draw that line yourself.
