Honestly, I have not seen anyone who values art "be ok with" generative AI.
The only people who think it is even remotely cool are lazy programmers with no friends.

Oi! I'm a lazy programmer with no friends, and I will not take this slander!

[–] Tartas1995@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 3 months ago

No programmers.

Losers who see ai as the opportunity to compete with people who are passionate about something else than fame or money.

Hell even from day one I've known some students even who didn't like it. I have met pro-AI people, mostly c-suite wannabes though.

AI is cool. A program being able to generate text so close to human writing or one that is able to generate images that look so real is really impressive

Like fuck we are.

not here for sure, but Lemmy is not exactly a reflection of the general population

people are starting to grow numb to gen AI, and people have grown numb to worse things so it's not exactly going to get undone easily

Even on Lemmy AI has been normalized a bit, although in those cases it’s always used to make fun of some dead MAGA or some dying MAGA

Zero people in my personal life and one person in my professional life thinks that way

It is a lot less worrying once you remember that basically every AI company is subsidizing their customers with investor money and when the customers have to start paying what it actually costs to do anything, the usage will plummet.

I hope so, ai should be so expensive it is more affordable to use our own brains.

On the bus I see people unironically sitting there watching fully AI generated shortform content. It's sad.

Knowingly, enjoying the fact that it's AI, marvelling at how far it's come…

I'm tired, boss.

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Or that Gen AI is being accepted to mean general AI instead of the actual term of generative AI. Which isn't even AI at all. It's Markov chains all the way down.

...shoved down our throat to the point that people are starting to be ok with it
