    I found out recently that a lot of stuff that’s supposedly done by AI is actually done by low-paid remote workers in underdeveloped countries.

      That has happened. But clearly that is not how chat-bots and image generating AI work. Even putting aside the style and peculiarities of the results, the AI programs are far too fast for that to be done by a person. Even if a person just read a message and then did a direct cut-and-paste from wikipedia, that would take far too long to be convincing as a chat-bot.

        Imagine how magical and enchanting the world would feel if you believed that real people were painting pictures that fast.

          That’s why you use imps. They’re surprisingly quick when they’re not on a smoke break.

        I’m talking about that automated stuff at wholefoods that supposedly uses AI to automatically charge your accounts for what you buy.

        It’s really a bunch of people in India watching you through all the cameras.

      I think that’s only actually been proved a couple of times, and it definitely doesn’t apply here. This is obviously just bad plagiarism.
