Fuck AI

The people overly confident in either direction are painfully below average, AI broskis or fuck-AI regulars. Two sides of the same coin.

Imagine an army of high school seniors at your command - what could you do? Very likely you'll spend a good amount of time babysitting but you could probably mentor one or two into doing something interesting and with all the rest you could get mediocre book reports. That's not nothing. Is it amazing art, no. Incredible writing, no. Truly new or interesting ideas, also probably no. Can you get a lot of stuff done that is pretty boring and repetitive - yes. And I mean a lot, no sleep or breaks, just boring repetitive tasks.

I think one of the biggest miscalculations right now is how many of those tasks there are that actually need doing. It's more than a lot of people might guess, so many forms, shuffling of data, and other burecratic BS that we just don't really need people to do now. On the other hand, a lot of those forms need to be analyzed or data that needs to be understood but is that really all that much? Idk. I do think AI art misses the point but an army of high school seniors, wielded by someone with the skills and understanding to tackle a real problem can be remarkably effective.

All this to say, hype people gonna hype but other actually smart people are quietly learning how to wield "AI".

You people are going to get so left behind 🤷‍♂️. The smugness of this post 🤣.
