“This isn’t going to stop,” Allen told the New York Times. “Art is dead, dude. It’s over. A.I. won. Humans lost.”

"But I still want to get paid for it."

Another idiot who thinks "prompt engineering" is a real skill and not just another step those companies are using idiots for free AI training.

You ask AI to draw a ninja turtle on a skateboard, and that "effort" they put into phrasing their request well enough for the AI to understand makes the AI learn the 10 past attempts were looking for what the 11th got

And now it won't take ten tries to go that route

Any "skill" by the user has a very short expiration date because the next version won't need it thanks to all the time users spent developing those "skills".

But no one impressed with AI is smart enough to realize that. And since they're the on s training the AI....

Idiots in, idiots out

I use ai when I use search engines. This makes the search engines better. I also use ai when I get spotify suggestions. I use ai when I use autocorrect. I use ai without even realizing I'm using ai and the ai improves from it, and I and many other people get an improved quality of life from it, that's why nearly everyone uses it just like I do.

So, @givesomefucks , do you also regularly use ai that improves from from your usage? Or are you not a hypocrite who thinks there is something morally bad about specific ais that you don't like while doing exactly what you claim to be against with other ais? How are your moral lines drawn?

Thanks for the example!

Whether an individual determines AI "smart" depends on how smart the person is. We're all all our own frame of reference.

I have no doubt AI impresses you every day of your life, even stuff that's not AI apparently, because not all of your examples were.

You are just ignorant of the history and evolution of the term "AI". It's easy for anyone to learn about it's history, your point of view is just one of ignorance of the past.
