I’ve been facepalming watching the tech companies lose their shit over this. People thought voice assistants were AI and they were flopping because they weren’t. And then Google, Microsoft, etc are killing off their voice assistants while pushing their AI, because they couldn’t figure out how to make their voice assistants not flop? The one thing that made sense to use the version of AI being pushed right now and the dumbshits are basically ditching it while trying to shove AI into everything else.
I have a manager at work that has been using AI for all sorts of dumb shit. And its stuff that would get him in trouble if we had an actual HR department. Thankfully he’s no longer my manager, pretty sure he used AI to do his evaluations as they were basically nonsensical mess that often outright contradicted itself.
Yup, which is why its frustrating that they enabled that to begin with. Although not sure it matters that much since even if they hadn’t, they’d be competing with production with AI and so we still would’ve ended up with it affecting things. I’m pretty sure AI is the reason we didn’t see the market flooded with used cards like the last time crypto flopped. There were rumors Tesla was buying up used graphics cards for their AI development for instance.
A glorified search engine for someone who’s job is to look things up but they don’t have time to look things up? What?
They’re only using it to try to try to make money, they don’t give a shit at all about any other aspect. They’re not doing it because they’re lousy artists and want to make art, they’re doing it because they want to make money and that’s it. With shit attitudes like yours, hope you’re not a programmer or other field that AI is going to start royally fucking up very soon.
If you can’t tell the difference between being inspired by and straight up ripping off art I don’t know what to say. And yes, I do think its kinda shitty for someone to sample music, either without consent or at least compensation, and yes that was and has happened for a long time as well. Which some of the attempt to force royalty payments is ridiculous like when lawyers from the RIAA tried to sue small businesses because them playing the radio and their customers being able to hear it as well was some atrocity apparently.
We needed to have proper discussions about fair compensation and use decades ago. But we didn’t and because of it, greedy assholes are going to use things like AI and other technology to just fuck things up.
This. And its always the worst idiots that are hyping this. Exactly like crypto all over again, only the tech oligarchs have decided that they want to get in on it this time.
I was starting to switch to Apple specifically because they were quite cool on the AI hype, but sounds like they’re starting to push it as well, probably because of the awful douchebag investors (that were also responsible for them doing all the layoffs at end of last year and start of this year) pushing this shit.
