"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.

It makes them create stuff that looks like shit to the trained eye, but is good or good enough for them, thus they don't have to pay money to an actual professional. That doesn't only relate to art, but to IT stuff as well. If you want it done right, hire a professional.
It's the same with the "but my nephew can do it for a tenth of the price"-folks.
Just an anecdote, but recently, there have been many "crochet" 3D models posted to 3D printing sites. (Many of those are marked as AI-generated, too) Those look nothing like a crochet toy would look like. These models have a yarn-looking "V" pattern applied to every surface of 3D model, but this pattern comes not from crochet, but from hand-knit blankets (as far as I can tell).
I hate those people with a passion. Don't flood my printables, you idiots!
This is exactly what my friend who was a copywriter told me several years ago; now he manages the company's AI production pipeline. They mostly do b2b. But essentially, the AI even then could produce stuff that was 80% good for 10% of the money, and infinitely quicker and scalable. And that's plenty good for what they're doing. So several people lost their jobs, the content quality drops, but the C suite makes money and nobody cares about the "craftsmanship" of the work.
Wait until they find out they can replace management even better
