"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.

Transcript

recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen Al for script- writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen Al for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that Al can be useful in every field except the one that they know best.

It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen Al will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence relies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't.

AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement.

Don't become as delusional as the grifters. Generated content is already a suitable replacement for lots of things. It's not so much about the quality of generated content (which continues to improve) as much about easily replacing the worthless bullshit that we're forced to produce (eg. cover letters, "art" serving capitalism, etc). The system is already built on fake nonsense. Generated content has always been a great fit for this system. The punishment of workers is just another bonus.
