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.

Speaking as a parent whose kids used to be little - I love this idea!
“Is anyone asking for “ the capability to create a children’s activity specific to their interests on the spur of the moment? Yes, we are.
You laugh, but yes, let’s bring big coloring book to its knees! Seriously though, artificial scarcity doesn’t need to exist here, nor are most all “creatives” creative here. For all those parents who want to generate an activity as they go along, fantastic. For those “creatives” who try to turn this into an online business, I’m ok with this niche not being gate-kept.
This is a use case where ai can make life a little easier
