"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.

AI "works of art"... are not about genuine personal expression or interpretation channeled through art and literature by hand and DIY, but rather the production of art and literature entirely using LLMs just purely for personal convenience and gain, in either clout or money or both.
That you have these supposed cheap "creatives" choosing NOT to DIY and set asides time to learn how to master a new art form, and instead grab an LLM box and type anything they want and the machines bring the finished product to their table... which so smacks of instant gratification.
Fascism is not just all of its symptoms Umberto Eco talked about, but also plundering art and literature to kill off genuine expression and skill, in favor of mass-produced soulless capricious slop.
