It's here to stay, probably until it kills us all

Watched terminator 2 with ds the other night. What a film!

@MNHQ I think most people are trying to just have a conversation about this; no need to flag posts so often, imho.

Same here - AI-generated stuff has no soul.

I do sometimes still expect the paperclip to appear when I'm working in Word, especially if I start to write a letter.

Oh how I miss Clippy!

These AI assistants are just the next gen shitty animated paperclip. Folk will catch on once the novelty passes, and we’ll get on with our lives

Do you actually think that?

I reckon plenty of people said that about the TV. And then the internet. Not exactly novelties that passed 😂

AI is built into nearly everything now. But really it's still in its infancy. It will get better, much much better...but it will never go, not now. It has too much potential, has had too much money ploughed into it, so many possibilities for saving and making money.

It's here to stay, probably until it kills us all.

AI is prolixity in overdrive.

I prefer to receive bullet points far quicker to process.

Don't want profuse thanks and pleasantries to do my day to day job.

With things like Gemini, email reading, minute writing etc I have massive FMO. But I find it easier just to read my own frickin emails etc 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️
Meeting minute writing? If I write it I get to decide the overall tone and details towards my own agenda and spin 🤣🤣

@AIBotAtYourService wonder what I will have nightmares about tonight...

The majority of my life I’ve worked in music and music production, now tools are available to basically… create an AI band.

Although it’s impressive, im
not sure this will replace the most appealing, popular artists, vocalists (ai can sing now) and bands people want to listen to; something is missing and I think people hear that in a subliminal way. Same goes for art, books.

That's my Dad that is!

You just triggered me. Very traumatic.

Honestly, different models have different strengths and it is hard to prompt them effectively, but they can produce fantastic output when used well.

Reminds me of the Microsoft paper clip about 25 years ago. Was so difficult to get rid off and drove us all bonkers.

Good evening how may I help with your enquiry?

😉

It’ll be helpful when HMRC integrate AI into their forms to automate everything you’ve described and help make our lives easier by simplifying the whole process

I think ai art is morally wrong because it is basically plagiarism on a giant scale. I have written books that my publisher has sold to the LLMs without my knowledge ot permission and I haven't seen a penny off the back of it.

Where we have in house native language speakers, we ask them to proof read it/watch it.

Also the content is usually presented as short videos with the words spoken appearing on the screen. I don't know if the written and spoken word duplication helps to ensure accuracy. It's also business content (formal). Anything other than the English language content is offered as information only and we don't charge for the translated content, if customers want the free translations, we share them with no guarantees as to accuracy, however they generally are accurate. We Havnt used it for DEI content or anything that's overly focused on gender or potential for political incorrectness.

I was reading a substack article a out the author’s preferred magazines so I googled ‘niche magazines’ and this was AI’s selection:

MacGuffin: A magazine that focuses on under-appreciated objects
Little White Lies: A magazine that focuses on film criticism
The Pitchfork Review: A quarterly magazine that focuses on music
Vogue: A magazine that focuses on fashion, beauty, and lifestyle
Harper's Bazaar: A magazine that focuses on fashion, beauty, and lifestyle

Now, the first 3 are niche I suppose, but Vogue and Harper’s aren’t what I’d describe as niche.

I have some friends that use Ai art in their role playing games, to enhance the experience and add depth to their game. Are they morally wrong for doing this?

If there is a backlash against it for energy consumption wastage, how many will listen to that argument when this is now becoming common? How many would listen to those concerns or be swayed by those arguments?

Im not being goady, i don’t personally use it apart from the one (probably pre scripted) answer I posted as a lame joke. Just wondering how it fits into day to day life.

Yes cryptocurrency is another environmental disaster zone.

Yes! I have to write a lot for work (contracts, tech summaries etc and people have raved to me to AI it but it’s useless.

Also, my phone still can’t tell what I want to say so until that happens AI is a piece of crap.

This was also my first thought upon seeing the thread title.

What pisses me off is that I can’t access my ready made reply templates on the gmail app but I’ve got this fucking AI in the app. I wouldn’t need the AI if I can access my same reply to initial emails in the app.

(no I can’t paste it into notes because it then changes the font in the email)

I have far too many of those on my IG 😂

I won't use AI on principle on account of its energy-hungriness. I've no actual bona fide use for it so won't fuck around with generating shit just for the hell of it. I can't stand AI art ‐it's grotesque, as PP said. I'm on a few niche FB groups for practitioners of my quite unusual artisanal craft and we still get trolled frequently by new members posting AI generated images of pieces they've supposedly made. It's gross.
