I don’t hate AI itself, but the amount of AI slop ruining the internet gives me a negative feeling about it whenever I see it. I used to enjoy fucking around with the early pre-2021 GANs, diffusion models and GPT3 playground before ChatGPT was around and actually liked the crazy dreamlike nonsense they made, but now it all feels like dead soulless crap getting used to replace humans. Probably going to get super downvoted for admitting to ever liking AI image gens lmao


Never bought into it, would never say I liked it, I’m not adverse to it, or at least I wasn’t until the USA government decided it had to be integrated into all policy making decisions.
Also I don’t feel we’ve reached the level of “intelligence” , there’s a lot of tricks that it can do, and it has vast databases to pull from, but it’s not hitting me as intelligent, and the more I read of it’s discoveries" the more convinced I am of my idea. The people using it are intelligent, and are coming up with neat ideas using it as a tool, but the models itself aren’t coming up with anything without human coaxing.
I’ve heard it’s much better to use ai as an editor regarding things you already know, than it is to trust ai to fill in the gaps of your knowledge.
