"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.

I kind of hate that it isn't making a bigger point of the artist that made the "piece" in the first place and their incredibly unhealthy relationship with AI.
The guy was using it as his therapist, experienced what they self label as a psychosis, at some level see that it's a bad influence on them, despite that used it to make a piece they got put in a gallery, and haven't actually cut it out of their life. I don't think it would be entirely unfounded to call it an addiction.
Someone needs to get the "artist" some actual, licensed psychological help.
It was more than a therapist. They made a "perfect match" partner.
It is odd that the art is supposed to be a cautionary piece and yet on reddit they were still defending the use of AI in general.
I care very little about this particular person, but who allows people that speak like this to become "artists"? There is no way this person has anything actually interesting to say, and if they did, they lack the ability to communicate it, much less through a medium as indirect as art.
I agree with you completely, however because ChatGPT is $10/month (last I heard?) and a licensed psychologist is circa $120 per 30 min session.. I sadly know what most people are going to choose.
