"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.

When I can't tell I just can't tell, but does this overly smooth not turn off regular people? Like it's so disgustingly uncanny that it would turn me off my fries (and I love fries)
For aesthetic reasons, I deeply dislike the style. It's indeed uncanny, and must be an average of a few other dominant art styles, yet doesn't directly resemble anything else. Even the exact font-face that tends to get used is hard to pin down.
And that's when I realized that I'm thankful that this current crop of models generates slop that looks like this. It has unintentionally hatched a style that is immediately recognizable as AI generated.
Sometimes I think about how many people in my school year growing up were complete fucking morons, and remember that they didn't stop existing after graduation.
