Man, anti-“ai” folks are so uppity. Get over yourself, internet poster.
Let’s talk again after your job is automated away, with no possibility for you to “skill up” because unlike in the 70s, this time the automation trend is starting from the top positions and the arts.
Sorry man, my job is not under threat by ai. The human element to what I do currently can’t be replaced. I certainly use it to help me get my job done faster though.
The threat to “the arts” is not real. Corporate, soulless art might be a less lucrative field for an artist in the future due to image generation capabilities, which is definitely an unfortunate consequence of its development, but real art still has a human value that can’t be replaced by ai. That said, I’d consider image generation to be just another tool of creative expression. Ask 10 people in a room to come up with an image with any of the image generators and you’ll see vastly different levels of creativity in their prompts. The average internet hate train is just targeting this change this time around. It’s exhausting seeing internet posters see something changing and decide to target that one thing until they get bored because their manufactured rage doesn’t actually produce anything.
Man never thought I’d miss crypto but here we are.
As bad as it is, this is still a step up from crypto.
Strongly disagree as unlikely as it sounds, crypto was much less annoying
This is more useful than crypto
Is it? Crypto could generate money for you. This can tell you lies based on its hallucinations.
At least when you cashed out, you knew you were cashing out at the value you were being told you were cashing out at. If there were some weird merger between crypto and AI, you’d sell your AIcoin thinking it was valued at $100 but it would turn out it was actually valued at $2 and the AIcoin just told you it was $100.
I think crypto is stupid and annoying and a waste of energy. This is stupider and more annoying and a bigger waste of energy and, worst of all, officially embraced by every major tech company.
Out of curiosity - do you think your opinion will change once on-device (i.e., power efficient) AI becomes the norm?
The capabilities and utility of contemporary LLMs are wildly overstated by many, but the claim that they are completely useless is dubious imo. Nothing they generate can be treated as fact (and shame on those who suggest you do), but I can say with certainty that it has made my life as an indie programmer much easier, and I know I’m not alone in that.
Okay, sorry, here is my real response since I thought you were talking about something else due to being in two conversations at once in the same thread:
My opinion will change when AIs stop being untrustworthy. Until I can have any sort of certainty that it isn’t just making shit up, it won’t change.
Not too long ago, I asked ChatGPT to tell me who I am. I have a unique name. I also have a long-established internet media presence under that name. I’m not famous, but I’ve got enough prominence for it to know exactly who I am.
It had no idea whatsoever. It got it entirely wrong. It said I was a business entrepreneur who gave motivational lectures.
idk bro that sounds like saying search engines aren’t useful cuz you couldn’t google yourself…
AI art is just as much theft as piracy is, its not and the only morons who say it is are financially incentivised to make that claim.
