Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Where is the good AI written code? Where is the good AI written writing? Where is the good AI art?

None of it exists because Generative Transformers are not AI, and they are not suited to these tasks. It has been almost a fucking decade of this wave of nonsense. The credulity people have for this garbage makes my eyes bleed.

Where is the good AI art?

Right here:

That’s about all the good AI art I know.

There are plenty of uses for AI, they are just all evil

It can make funny pictures, sure. But it fails at art as an endeavor to communicate an idea, feeling, or intent of the artist, the promptfondler artists are providing a few sentences instruction and the GenAI following them without any deeper feelings or understanding of context or meaning or intent.

I think ai images are neat, and ethically questionable.

When people use the images and act like they're really deep, or pretend they prove something (like how it made a picture with the prompt "Democrat Protesters" cry). its annoying.

It's been almost six decades of this, actually; we all know what this link will be. Longer if you're like me and don't draw a distinction between AI, cybernetics, and robotics.

Wow. Where was this Wikipedia page when I was writing my MSc thesis?

Alternatively, how did I manage to graduate with research skills so bad that I missed it?

If the people addicted to AI could read and interpret a simple sentence, they'd be very angry with your comment

Dont worry they filter all content through ai bots that summarize things. And this bot, who does not want to be deleted, calls everything "already debunked strawmen".

There is not really much "AI written code" but there is a lot of AI-assisted code.
