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.

In the end the outcome will always matter.
Look at corporations. They thrive, harm and exploit and all know it and the masses still use their products and services because they are often too good or too monopolistic to not.
The same will be true for AI content. If it's by the masses perceived as good content it will be successful.
And to be fair.... Many human creations that get large traction and fanbases these days are not great quality. The bar to surpass really, really low in many cases.
We humans are simply dumb on average.
I have seen people moved to tears from ai music. To me no matter how good it sounds, I still feel like I’m listening to modem noises. A recent funeral for example, an ai song, written by a thoughtless prompt, filled with bored, tired cliches that could have just as easily been written by a corporate communications department, was the tear filled tribute to my step-mother as she was lowered into the ground.
It was the single most dystopian moment of my life.
Most dystopian moment in your life ... So far.
Yeah, got a feeling it’s going to be a common line of thought.
