"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.

I hate AI slop like everyone else but the technology is here now. I wonder what artists said when photographs were invented...
Thing is the photographs were better than the paintings at capturing the subject.
AI slop is always worse. It has neither the perfected consistent realism of photographs nor the artistic value of the paintings.
pretty sure there have been many bad photos taken and bad painrings made in human history
And there have been comparatively bad AI outputs to the "good" ones which are still inferior products themselves.
"I hate AI like everyone else … but let me make a specious reference to a completely different technology that makes it sound like I'm actually a user being defensive."
So... What's your point? We need to give up and start using it even though it's worse?
worse than what?
Art.
Worse than real art and writing, obviously. What kind of stupid question is that?
