Wow, it turns out "Really convincing-sounding chatbot" isn't as all-purpose as was hoped.
I mean, legit, it's impressive how detailed and precise (and often wrong) it can get, but impressive isn't the same as useful.
I guess AI image generation probably has made concept art mockups quicker for some.
I tried to use it for help in Fallout 3 recently. I didn't want spoilers, so I didn't want to just use a walkthrough or wiki that often just tells you the answer and stuff you didn't want to be told. I thought it would be clever if the bot could tell me little clues to questions like, "Is the key I need even in this building?"
It made up such insane things! Like, "The NPC who carries the key is a ghoul mamed Chlamydia Jane. She's located at such and such."
Chlamydia. Jane.
Some robot had the key. He was in a small room I missed.
Chlamydia Jane sounds like a Fallout 2 or New Vegas NPC.
Even using it for concept art is a bad idea in terms of creativity and the creative process and negatively impacts the end result.
An artist will have an easier time creating concept art than AI will have giving you an accurate representation of what you envision using keywords. If they turn to AI Slop instead for creative ideas, then the project they need concept art for never had a concept in the first place, and is doomed to fail.
People who can't find any use for it are those who are determined to hate it at all costs.
Cooking and weight loss alone is worth $20 a month for me and that's just scratching the surface.
I'm not sure an AI nutritionist in every kitchen is worth burning the environment/economy down.
I am sure you're a hypocrite when it comes to energy expenditure. My footprint is probably smaller than yours.
Fuck me for improving in a way YOU don't approve, right?
Is it an improvement though? You've just gotten rid of cookbooks and basic nutrition and are relying on a Chatbot that's going to lie to you eventually if it doesn't already.
Do you ever fact check it to make sure it's giving you good advice?
