Oh, yeah, the specific example listed was solved within roughly a month of the comic being posted. But the idea still applies, as seen with the twitter post above.

There’s an XKCD comic for that.

It’s not dada. It’s too coherent to be dada, and it’s too shit to be anything else.

In order for something to be an artistic choice, it has to be a choice. It has to have meaning and intent. AI did not choose to put a glass there, it calculated that there was probably a glass there based on shitty reasoning. AI does not have the creative capacity to make art. It can only make images, and those images are shit.

You’ve thoroughly proven you can’t tell between slop and high art, so thank you for the compliment of my critique.

Surrealism is not nonsense. It has a purpose, even if that purpose is hard to tell. If you think Dali and AI slop is the same, you don’t understand either.

AI is like a housefire. Nobody wants it. Nobody needs it. It’s just a bad thing, and if someone sees it, they’re more than justified in being upset and trying to get rid of it. Don’t defend the fire, or you’ll be the first to burn.

So is toast.

I’ll stop saying it if it stops being true.

False. Porn is sexy, and I can’t possibly be aroused by an image of a woman spreading her cheeks when her fingers are attached to her arse with a continuous piece of flesh, giving her skin the same topography as a teapot.

Funny. Every time someone points out how god awful AI is, someone else comes along to say “It’s just a tool, and it’s good if someone can use it properly.” But nobody who uses it treats it like “just a tool.” They think it’s a workman they can claim the credit for, as if a hammer could replace the carpenter.

Plus, the only people good enough to fix the problems caused by this “tool” don’t need to use it in the first place.

Looks good. Approve

Most tools aren’t actively detrimental to use, though. It’s like a hammer where the handle is covered in spikes. Even if you’re a genius and know how to hold it without cutting your hand, most people would just use a different hammer. And I’m not going to let that toolsmith off the hook, either.

If you and Elon disagree about something, just assume he’s wrong about it. If you both agree on something, THEN you might be mistaken.

This raises the question: is it your moderation that people like? Or do people only like it as much because of the extra layer of moderation you dislike?

“Welcome to Ryanair! As a forward thinking company, we have added a hoop for you to jump through for your convenience! Only £5 per jump! …Oh, no, the only way to board the plane is to use the hoop. But for an additional fee, we will extinguish the fire before you jump!”

You could have just said “Ryanair” and that’s all the description you need. Ryanair is designed by assholes. They deliberately designed every element of their business to squeeze pennies out of you for services other airlines offer for no cost at all. And they seem in no rush to tell you about these things until the last possible moment, just so they can catch you off guard and add a last minute charge.
