So you fully embrace AI generated journalism? AI art devoid of any emotions and skill? Shitty answers to prompts that just create more problems than solving them? AI has a long fucking way to go before it can really benefit humankind.
Ai generated journalism just made shitty journalism easier. The same shitty “top 10 whatever” sites were posting a similar level of pointless drivel 10 years ago but now they can produce more of them, I guess?
As someone with very limited artistic skill, I think your opinion of AI art is gatekeeping. Sorry not everyone can pick up a pencil and put down the exact image they want to see. For me, it’s just another tool of creativity that also happens to lowers
the barrier to entry. You’ll find very different ability in producing specific results among users, too. I’ve gotten a bunch of people at work to join me in coming up with prompts and it’s fascinating to see how different people come up with different ideas, and how some definitely understand how to work with image generators better than others.
Not sure what you mean by shitty answers. Ever asked a human the answer to something? They often get things wrong too. I’ve definitely googled something many times only to find misinformation and bad results. This isn’t exclusive to LLMs.
I agree with your last statement though. It’s a great tool that has only been broadly publically available in its current form for less than a few years now. Certainly there’s a long way to go. I just think all the doomers in these comment chains are simultaneously not giving its current capabilities enough credit, but also vastly overestimating the impacts AI generation will have societally.
Thanks for the well explained answer, I appreciate the tone of your post :)
I’m fairly shit at art myself but have made respect for people who have a mental picture and can transfer that into whatever medium they’re using. AI art is easy to detect at this point and it just doesn’t do it for me.
The thing with shitty answers is that the answers that come after a prompt sound feasible but very often it’s absolute nonsense and plan unusable.
I appreciate the technology behind AI and it’s fairly impressive where we’re at now. But it has a very long way to go before it really becomes a benefit to humanity.
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, anti-“ai” folks are so uppity. Get over yourself, internet poster.

I sincerely hope it does start at top positions. CEOs are overpaid.
