"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.

Yeah, the comics professor is to grade the visuals, and the text is filler, could be lorem ipsum for all they care. Simlarly a screenwriter using AI to storyboard seems fine as it's not the core product.

The ideal would be cross-discipline projects bringing students together similar to how they would be expected to deal in the real world, but when individual assignments call for 'filler' content to stand in for one of those other disciplines, I think I could accept LLM as a reasonable compromise. I would expect some assignments to ask the students to go beyond their core discipline for some perspective and LLM be bad for that, but I could see a place for skipping the irrelevant complementary pieces of a good chunk of assignments.
