"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.

Right, sounds like someone writing a book versus making a movie adaptation. The book has me fill in the gaps, which can in many cases be more satisfying than whatever the film adaptation comes up with, but sometimes a film adaptation executed well adds something. However a hypothetical book-to-film AI would be utterly mind numbingly uninspiring, and I would just take the prompt and use my own imagination to generate what I'd like more.
It's been fairly obvious to me for some time that a website where people shared the prompts instead of (or alongside of) the output, and that allowed you to hit a generate button to get different versions would be way fucking cooler than a seemingly infinite scroll of uninspired, uncanny, single generation outputs.
