"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.

Has anyone thought this through to its logical conclusion? If we're constantly resurrecting old talent using AI, or whatever the tech du jour is, then won't we stagnate culturally?
Culturally, scientifically, intelligently, you name it we’ve reached the peak. AI is just recycling what humans have thought and said, According to our new ai overlords we just coast from here
Then why doesn't life feel like coasting?
You must not be a billionaire.
That's a problem for next quarter, kiddo.
Answering for Capitalism – follow the money.
No, the cost of doing this is far more than hiring an actor.
Culture isn't defined by the use or abuse of AI.
It's a tool when used creatively with full public knowledge, and a weapon when it's used to surreptitiously decieve.
As an artists tool for seamlessly putting a character into a story, is it any different than how videogames are made with an actor's face slapped onto another actor's motion captured movements?
It's not like the aforementioned film producers are trying to hide their use of it.
