A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

AI tools are support for professionals. For non professionals they are a toy, a magic box

The question is, could one million people reaching into the magic box at once pull out at least one thing better than a professional could make in the same time?

It is the same as science. Many discoveries are serendipity, they happen by chance. You need a professional to understand that that is a new discovery.

Anyone who manages to make something significant with AI is a professional.

In the same time? Yeah absolutely, I've put together some really cool pieces of AI art in like 5-10 mins. A "real" artists just couldn't match that pace.
