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.

Three years ago when ChatGPT was starting to trickle down to the boomers, I was at a wedding where the brides father held a speech. It was the most generic nonsense I have ever heard and at the end he proudly said that this speech was written with ChatGPT. He wasn‘t even embarrassed.
My dad just used some form of AI to hallucinate a "song" for Mom and their anniversary. He got real mad when I said I didn't want to hear it. Both Mom and I have degrees in music and play an instrument or two. He still couldn't figure out why it mattered.
Oh man, that hurts to read
How is your dad married to your mother for that long without picking up that self expression comes from a human being? It's like a fundamental aspect of art.
Tbf most people don't define music as self expression.
If you create a song, or any piece of art, that's self expression. Especially if it's to commemorate something/someone important to you. You're literally expressing how you feel about the subject.
If you got a machine to approximate something, that shows you recognised that the effort would be meaningful, and didn't do it. Poorly drawn crayon art would be more meaningful.
From the artist's POV, I understand. But that's just not how the average listener perceives it.
Nobody says that.
Nobody bothers to
Oh wow jfc
Ok, that's insane. If you don't have enough feelings or love for your child to write a speech for their wedding... Then don't give a fucking speech at all.
