AI could be such a neat, useful thing. But nope, capitalists can’t help themselves. Gotta use it to grift the internet with low quality content and steal from artists.

    A friend of mine works marketing, so exactly the type of person who you’d think would love AI. While they do love aspects of it, they say that pretty much half their job now is just sifting through AI generated slop. And you can always tell, ChatGPT especially has a certain je ne sais quoi about the way it writes.

    The worst part about it as far as capitalism fucking it up and using it in the worst way possible is that regarding art and content: they don’t want a masterpiece, they just want something that’s good enough. So even if a real artist or writer could do a much better job, they’re going to pick whatever costs them the least and makes them the most.

      part of the samey style is that the closed off models like ChatGPT don’t have temperature control, which is somewhere between randomness and creativity as a thingy. it’s a self-defeating thing where the laziest people are using the LLMs, so they’re also too lazy to get granular and set up one that won’t be so obvious
