"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.

It's hard for me to get past the fact that a person has willfully deferred their creativity and skill to an AI chatbot.
At that point, to me, you become a no talent ass clown.
At least of the folks I know that have gone all-in on GenAI, almost all of them never displayed much creativity in the first place.
One that I at least once had some respect for had walked away from doing any creative work 20 years ago. I frankly had sorted out about a decade ago that he was more "right place right time" than actually knowing his stuff. But he had a fairly common narrative I've heard a few times now: "I walked away from coding years ago, but I'm back in thanks to AI!". There's always good reasons they walked away in the first place that are generally not fixed by embracing AI.
Broadly the GenAI steps on creativitiy and skill by not producing precisely what the content creator wanted, so it favors people who don't really have an opinion on the specifics, and without opnion it's generally pretty flawed premise.
That's an interesting point that I haven't run into elsewhere!
This is absolutely the case with GenAI art. I get a lot of generated customer art now and I don’t even bother pointing out their obvious mistakes anymore because they never cared to begin with. If they want to hand me slop to print, I’ll give them just what they ordered.
Chances are they never had any creativity to begin with.
Also anybody trying to convince you that games made with AI are a good thing, should be evaluated with the same level of seriousness as people who tell you that fast food is healthy.
I have downed my opinion on Tim Sweeney. Down yours too !
A person?
Anyway, here's a pro tip for your issue: don't mind them. Get past it by just knowing they will eventually fall off.
