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.

Generating crap is easy. Creating art is not so easy. LLMs are not artists.
The average person doesn't know and doesn't care. They see AI slop and go "oh wow!"
I feel like most of the people I know don't do any analysis of any media in their life. They just go "oh cool" and let it wash over them.
I mean look how popular Michael Bay movies are…
Do artists care about people who don't care about art?
Maybe, maybe not, but people that don't care about art have money, and artists need money to live. Probably we should focus on fixing that "need money to live" thing as a society so that everyone would have more time for art and creativity, but the people with the most money have decided to focus on other things, like replacing the artists.
Right like nothing from them is revolutionary or thought provoking or even more than mildly unexpected. It's mid at best. And it makes sense when you have any idea how they work.
