I don't need AI to replace my creativity and imagination. This is what someone writes when they only care about the end product, and not about the actual creative process.

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.

But the AI also tells stories. So even if your story is great, it will be drowned in thousands of AI slop stories. Publishing houses can already not screen new novels anymore because they are getting flooded with hundreds of AI generated books every day (complete with AI generated, fake authors).
It's definitely a pathology.
Cuban used AI to prepare to go on Pablo Torre's podcast and made an ass out of himself, so I don't trust his evaluation of AI's capabilities.
To be fair, I have used AI to write the story for my Pathfinder campaign, but it usually goes something like this:
- I prompt the AI to give me some ideas
- AI spurts out some bullshit ideas
- while (mentally) debunking the AI ideas I come up with some ideas that actually work
So basically AI doesn't provide anything useful but helps getting the idea process going. Maybe that's some variation on Cunningham's Law?
This sounds similar to my usage. I ask AI to write something it gives some BS while reading that I come up with different things and use them.
A good collection of random tables does the same thing with minimal amounts of enviromental destruction. Here's a bunch of them : https://chartopia.d12dev.com/collection/293/

I dunno, to me that just sounds like relying on AI but with extra steps.
Artistic mastery isn’t gatekeeping, but I understand the sentiment. It’s nice to have the ability to do rapid prototyping, but I’m against AI being used in place of craftsmanship. “The art advances but the artisan recedes.”
I was hoping, praying, that just ONE of the nearly 1000 billionaires in America would take our side and deliver us from evil.
Cuban is clearly on team End Game. Fuck the rich.

Was this written by an LLM?
I'm not sure, they didn't say whether I'll LOVE AI enough...
curious that every single artist i know hates this shit
Those AI folks need to see it as the journey taken, not the destination. Until that happens the AI "Art Kit" for adults will always be a balloon floating towards a pin.
Ah yes I too love it when I get results with none of the actual creative process, because the end result is all that matters

"Why use your brain when you don't have to?" Mark has had some surprisingly good takes for a billionaire but way off on this one.
AI is a new financial gatekeeper, we're just not paying for it yet because they're trying to get us hooked.

The number of gatekeepers drops because AI people are desperate to keep the ship afloat. Why worry about drowning when you have a built-in buoy, your natural brain, effort, and human perseverance?
