I've had to talk in public about AI recently, for reasons I barely understand. I always ask, "raise your hand if you've read something funny created by AI?" No one does.
That's because AI is inherently a mediocrity machine. It tries to find the middle of everything. It might be fine but never good.

it's very similar to the process in Hollywood of making "data-driven" programming choices - ultimately good political messaging and hit movies are both an unknowable and unquantifiable commodity and the best process we've ever developed for getting it is "let smart, experienced people try stuff"

We want new, beautiful, surprising things, politically, artistically, and otherwise.

Centrists on most topics don't take risks due to fear of losing. So they try to optimize outcomes for the majority but end up losing out to risk seekers who *don't* fail.
Being mediocre is good for long term predictability/sustainability but loses out to extreme trial and error that allows failure.
Avoiding risk doesn't help to adapt and flourish but it minimizes loss.
The far right has been in the hinterland for decades, and has been desperate for gains.
“Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die.”
Throwaway illustrations, sure.
But no matter how the pixels move around the ratio of dark to light remains flat. It can *only* produce mid.
Which is why everything is now so shit.
It's a huge red flag that the speaker hasn't ever done the thing they're talking about or advising someone else to do.
Generators are configured to produce either surprising or predictable (mediocre in your words) completions, whereas a good joke wants just one surprise among the predictable.
It can generate lots of slop quickly but will never give us profound art.
The next witty, clever, or inspired thing AI creates will be the first.
I tried again last year, and results were worse.
So yeah, I am fine with ChatGPT becoming worse. As long as it does not become part of our education system.
While consuming enough energy to kill our climate.
And the same neoliberal Dems all support it.

it’s a good gym sir
it’s wet
In every system's dance with others paired,
Once back to its initial state repaired,
Regardless of the dance's mystic art,
Thermal impact can't exceed work's part.
In a matter of minutes
That are objectively, far and away, better than what I'd get out of a ~3-5 years of experience junior engineer if I gave them half a day
Not the same thing, though. 😐
An expensively marketed tool that is now getting loads of processing power put behind machine learning to help drive up REVENUE for the Corporate world.
AI is of no benefit to me!
Like the kind of emotional reaction we all had to the soaring language in yesterday's ruling
AI is the wedding DJ of creativity. It hits play on the crowd-pleasers, loops the familiar, and maybe drops a remix that slaps. But it's never the reason you fell in love with the song.
Not dismissive of AI. It's a good tool.
It’s more dangerous than Skynet. It must be destroyed…
We need more A1 in our lives, less AI.
More A1, less AI.
Laughably bad, all the time
It’s designed to react to how you interact with it. I use a lot of wordplay/puns. Over time, it’s picked up on that & often incorporates clever word play in reply. Sometimes very clever.
Yep.
It's always been amazing to me how many people don't understand this.
At least, that's what I hear from some of the unfunniest people around.
That's why there's so much slop on Netflix. And cancellations of legit good shows.
A duller, less-interesting account you could not find.
Sometimes binary humans can be so blind.

It’s terrible.
So unintentionally yes and still supports your point
Behold the Tim Onion Crew
And only made for computer science majors it’s n o t for the rest of us baby we don’t need any of that shit lmao
For AI that means tons of Garbage In= tons of Garbage Out
Spend a few more $Trillion, you won’t change that equation. It has always been, it will always be!
