"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.

At a small restaurant in Tennessee, USA.

I don't like that they asked an LLM to graphic design the entire menu, but why in the name of robot jesus did they look at the result and say "great. Love it. Print 100 copies."

The food pictures made me physically ill. They're really upsetting! I told the Waitress, who agreed that the pics were awful, and the manager/owner(?) who didn't seem to care.

There are LLM inconsistencies all over, too, like icons changing from page to page.

If this were a food menu it would be this post.

That’s a blast from the past. Back when image generation was a quirky little experiment, and people still had hope that this technology wasn’t going to wear our souls down into a fine dust.

I loved the videos where people would grow faces out of the back on their heads nad arms would morph around and logs would turn into sausages

To be honest, I really liked the surreal dreamlike nature of early AI video. It was completely different than anything else we'd seen.

I made a couple music videos using it and they're strange. They took a long time to make because the AI model would take a while to render the prompt and sometimes it would vomit out complete garbage. I ended up rendering hundreds of 3-4 second clips then had to wade through it all and cobble it together.

Funny thing, I did a couple videos at first and then about 8 months later a worked on a couple more. In that short time rendering had vastly improved and the results weren't as weird.
