"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.

Is it just me or is everyone who absolutely loves AI just painfully below average? (lemmy.ca)

Like, every AI generated thing I’ve seen, when viewed from the eyes of someone who actually knows what they’re doing, is at best below average. Maybe some things aren’t quite as bad as the general “AI slop”, but of the things I’m actually experienced in (code and art), I just see so many amateur mistakes in everything AI.

Regarding art, AI can make really visually appealing things, but it gets the details wrong. That’s something that a below average artist does. And regarding code, it’s the same thing. Overall, it has the appearance of decent code, but it gets the details wrong, just like a below average dev. (Probably about the level of a high school senior or college freshman.)

I’m not super experienced at writing, but I can also tell that it’s not very good at that. The stories it writes just aren’t compelling, but I’m not experienced enough to tell you why. And the same with music. It’s just below average, but I couldn’t tell you why.

I’m not trying to sound elitist by saying this, but I’ve noticed people who aren’t very good at these things tend to praise how good the AI is.

So, is it just me, or are the big fans of AI just below average at whatever the AI is doing?

This is on point. I don't think OP's title is accurate. The "people" aren't below average, the "work" is. Sure, the inexperienced or lazy are using AI when they shouldn't, but most of the problems are with the work.

I also think many who rely on AI often don't have much overlap with those that like to learn, who may be supplementing with or getting support from AI (or not using it at all). To me, anyone who has a drive to learn is going to create above average work eventually, and anyone who doesn't will simply set the bar.

I agree with this. It also makes me wonder if it would even be possible for a nonprofit or government to train an image generator (for example) to produce more detailed work. The output of a corporation can only be "good enough".
