And other stories that rattled around in your head before falling out your ass. 🙂

Yup, thank you for proving my point so incredibly well lmao. Could not have written a more perfect response myself. All that’s missing was, “Pfft, yeah I’m like, so sure!”

They’ll never be good enough, and the tech ain’t the problem. Even if it was somehow 100% accurate, still won’t even come close. It’s a useful tool, that’s it. Hopefully it will be used for good things someday, but it’s never going to be a replacement for art or human beings themselves. Just a techbro’s fantasy about taking a simple tool and trying to use it like a chainsaw.

I’m still waiting on AT&T to deliver on their promises. Well to be fair, most of those did come true, just not from them. 😉

Haha, thanks, I’ll check it out! Have a great day.

Word. I brought up the strikes to illustrate that no, it’s not becoming normalized, it’s something that being forced – and it’s not going to work. Maybe the tech will someday be there, I’d love for it to be as a tool. Like I said, AI has some great uses, I love silly AI songs that sound like something decades old but has obviously modern lyrics. But that’s never going to be a replacement for actual music, imo. Btw check out this podcast episode for a hilarious story about a guy who tried to use AI to create 1000s of fake songs.

You don’t see how a bunch of creative people in entertainment went on strike over having some execs decide that they can be replaced by AI, isn’t relative to a discussion about AI replacing creative people, again purely on the whim of some execs? Ooookay then. Sounds like you might need to go back and really study what the people were striking about.

The actor strikes? The ones about AI? You did say you were entertainment, I figured you would have at least heard about those.

Cause email is useful and convenient. Same with google maps. AI can help with that, but it’s not more useful or convenient to replace models for anyone but the ceos. The extension to purely AI models is minuscule. People literally will not even notice the last time a real model was in an add campaign If that were true, this wouldn’t be a story and Vogue wouldn’t have trashed their rep.

Thankfully the public already despises fake models. And we’ve already seen what happens when AI tries to replace photographers – it’s hilariously bad.
