This is so funny, this guy quote tweets a video where the guy is just straight up spitting facts, and he somehow finds a way to get offended at AI and the fact that people don't want to spend $30k on a Sofa when they can build it easily nowadays with claude
There is a collective hallucination going on in the tech world maybe just as bad as being forced to wear masks outdoors during covid. And its this idea that AI can solve every problem and lesser so that people actually want to talk your "agents"...
I struggle, wanting to remove myself from tech culture because this hallucination is induced in part because no one in it really seems to understand craft or quality or culture.
Its even more surprising because lots of these people have money and so have eaten really good food, used really good electronics and sat in really good furniture.
It seems like tech people don't actually have taste and can't tell why a $30k table is different than something you spend 10 minutes "designing".
What is the disconnect? Is it for the attention, the TL likes? Do people actually believe this stuff they are peddling?
Because if they do I can't relate. I see a $30k piece of furniture and see painstaking choices that were made for beauty, functionality and craft. I see it in everything from a good croissant, cup of coffee, piece of clothing, perfume, everything. Once you understand craft its hard not to see it everywhere.
But AI has so many tech people believing they can create anything, which is laughable. It's cringe, it's a bubble that doesn't exist in reality.
Can tech just stay in its lane and go back being ok with and embracing the fact that you're just a nerd and thats ok. No onecin the real world wants you spending 10 minutes "designing" things and claiming you can replicate art.

>Dad has a legitimately interesting use case for AI
>Brainwashed anti ai foid doesn't approve
My dad told me about something he did with AI (converting a floorplan drawing he did into a digital version) and it just made groan internally and a bit miffed.
I’m so tired, this AI bullshit is even reaching the laymen because it’s being shoved down our throats so much.

It's crazy people like this will lecture you without understanding latents, world models and generalisation.
I'm sorry to do this to you: when your LLM is answering a question, it is answering a question about the text, not about what the text describes.
This is true for what is in front of it, as well as its own training data.
You must understand this distinction.

This is legit just pickme behaviour but for artists ahaha. '😔im so sought after that my clients all want to have sex with me ahh it's just so hard my life, stop trying to be my friend guys I'm just an artist ugh...'
🤣
'The issue with AI is that if you use it I'll think less of you, and my opinion matters. You deserve better than that, so don't use AI so I can think highly of you!'
No thanks, you can keep adding low ceilings to things have fun with that I'll be over here.
the thing about using AI for anything creative is that it robs u off ur personality, it’s the antithesis of branding. i have no idea who u are and it puts a very low ceiling on ur work. u deserve better

People will self righteously post things like this and not realise just how wrong they are.

Mfs be making fanfiction scenarios where they're the unsung hero 🫠
I hope the "Suck it up, AI is here to stay" crowd will still have that sentiment when our planet burns to ashes and everyone dies of heatstroke because of the data centers, illegally cut trees, and lack of regulation surrounding AI.

"Sorry boss, RoRo on X said I shouldn't use AI period, so I'm going to quit my job as a developer, I won't be able to feed my kids but, maybe RoRo on x will let me hit"

Anti-AI snarkers will sell you a dream about how 'AI disclosure is important' but in reality THIS is why they want you to disclose it, so they can rally together and witchhunt projects who were made by hard working people with the help of AI. They don't want you to surpass them

Also animators use AI to fill inbetween the gap, its called inpainting
This is obviously evil. Artists are selling the idea that one frame in animation is the work of one full drawing from scratch, which is obviously false if you have seen it done.
And the goyim are eating it up and paying for it.
They deserve the artists and the artists deserve ai.

These tweets fracture me, on the one hand it's good that people like this aren't scared of AI, on the other hand, I wonder if they'll keep up their spirits when it does get better than them even creatively. I think the future will be amazing for all, but hard to convince others
It might just be ego, but I genuinely don't feel threatened by AI as a creative. AI will never be able to recreate a fraction of the sauce my art has. Even with code, AI just makes dogshit slop. You recognize this when you begin to see all human effort through an artistic lens.
