I think approximation is the right word here. It’s pretty cool and all and I’m looking forward how it will develop. But it’s mostly a fun toy.

I’m stoked for the moment the tech bros understand, that an AI is way better at doing their job than it is at creating art.

tech bros jobs is to wrote bad javascript and fall for scam, this AI already beaten

I think one thing you and many other people misunderstand is that the image generation aspect of AI is a sideshow, both in use and in intent.

The ability to generate images from text based prompts is basically a side effect of the ability that they are actually spending billions on, which is object detection.

It's bad at anything useful for programming too.

And the things it's good at have been developed by stealing GPL/copyleft code.

So you're happy to see AI take someone else's job as long as it isn't taking your job.

Taking the jobs of the people responsible for creating it seems preferable to taking others' jobs.

That comment was very Reddit of you. Don’t do that, please.

You'd rather cheer for people to lose their jobs without anyone calling you out on it, sure.

Keep assuming. Fuel your own rage. I tried. Now I’m out. Good night and goodbye.

You said tech bros will realize it's easier to replace their jobs than those of creatives. Who is included in "tech bros" here? I wanted a job in tech and can't get one partly because of AI. Am I a tech bro? I would be very careful what you imply here.

All three of you are insufferable

[–] [email protected] -2 points 7 months ago

I am insufferable for wanting a job? I am not the one inventing these AIs. Nor am I the one firing people because they exist.

When people talk about "tech bros" without clarifying who they mean I can only imagine they are including people like me.

I'm not the angry one wishing unemployment on my "enemies" here.

I think they're using AI to say the same sentence over and over again.

[–] [email protected] -4 points 7 months ago

He's saying the same thing because he's not actually getting a proper response. The other guy just keeps saying shit like "That's very reddit of you" or some shit after possibly threatening his job.
