Asmon gold recently was like “AI art is going to take over the world” I’m not saying he’s wrong necessary. But he was saying it about a ghibli ai filter placed over lord of the rings. Like I’m fairly sure that movie already looked very nice :-)

AI slop is just a new fascist art movement, it will be forgotten eventually just like every boring, worthless piece of art from nazi germany except the naked olympics movie.
People who base their lives on imagining they are superior because they have access to automation and convenience will tend to believe more automation and convenience is good for them. It's easy to fool people into believing that indolence is wealth.
this is kind of a fascinating phenomenon: the onus of thinking AI is impressive is always on other people.
asmongold (and AI art proponents) are dumb and sheltered enough to think OTHER people would find it impressive. its inherently condescending, bc they themselves dont find it interesting
i think the aspect of "everything can be anything else within a button press" fails to carry much excitement after a certain period of novelty. im already oversaturated and annoyed. we could make pixar style avatars years ago, thats decades in internet time
Beyond the quirkiness of making random stuff look like a ghibli movie, what does that even accomplish? I want to believe that people won't be so easily entertained by such shallow concepts forever. I really want to.
Today's Even More News podcast discusses the AI bubble in detail, it is an interesting listen that I agree with as someone that sold Machine Learning (NOT AI until it was called AI) to big companies for several years
.
It's continuously baffling to me how almost every pro-AI person always ends up looking at a really flawed and non-useful use of AI and immediately goes to "this is literally the best thing technology has ever done, completely world changing!"
I got so engrossed in the sections just going over the general framework and mechanics of a psychic con that I forgot the article was about LLMs until it circled back around, and got to be excited at even more application of this knowledge.
