"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.

These days... I don't know, maybe a few. Also if you force kids to do stuff it will backfire =)
I had to make a poster for the Special Olympics when I was in school. It was mandatory, and a "competition" in the classes lol
I made the most offensive possible poster I could but was the only one that followed the rules to a tee and won the competition, even my peers who actually tried were like wtf? Only a few know, so I can describe it but it was an image, looking like a crayon drawing (I used a drawing tablet), with someone (use your imagination for the drawing) running into a brick wall with stacks of cash and of course the obligatory fake coffee mug stain.
Let's just say it wasn't mandatory the following year and after graduating the program was shut down. Yeah I'm pretty sure I'm partially to blame.
I would suggest to hire the students to do it, not require them to do it. Give them some experience earning a little money doing art.
I agree except fair wage should be paid to set an example for their future.
AGREE HOW DARE YOU yeah i probably should have included paying them a fair wage or better in there
Hahaha, I figured you implied so, but getting an actual market wage is even a better motivator!
