"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.

So, ive been thinking about this...
You are right, but what if it was possible to generate such fake interest that they take a movie that did poorly, and decide to make a sequel thinking there was actual real interest.
Then they burn that money on the sequel no one wanted and the sequel doesn't get the fake support turned on.
It does seem way more complicated of a long con though to pull off.
I get what you're saying but to really make a difference and change the industry, you'd have to organise a concerted effort globally and that sounds pretty difficult.
