We should all go to Sizzler tonight to honor him.
I’d hate to conclude that from his not working. Some people just don’t like the life, and I’d hate to conclude bad things about his character just based on his brother. I’d truly hate to be judged by my asshole brother. Also, Muniz talks about people afraid to stand up for themselves... Do we really think Bryan…
While these billionaires say they want to create a world where no one has to work
It won’t replace people because it has fundamental flaws that require more time to fix than it costs to just have a human make content in the first place, but “it’ll replace workers” is the grift being sold to the C-suite and a lot of people are going to have a miserable time before this shakes out.
It doesn’t have an intended purpose. Like most tech grifts of the past decade it’s a solution in search of a problem, and the only problem it’s actually good at solving is streamlining scams.
AI is being sold to the general populace as a way to automate mundane tasks so we can focus on the fun stuff, but it’s being sold to management as a way to replace workers with a cheaper and faster substitute.
Oh, but those are jobs that humans shouldn’t have to do, apparently! Those untrained, *maybe* GED-holding call center folks should just buck up, pivot, and become administrative assistants, or something.
Oh FFS, y’know what? Apparently the “argument” goes something like this:
The snowflake decorations in the upper corners are not merely atrocious. They are atrocities.
Nah, it was definitely the baby playing Jamie in the last season.
This is a random piece of AI art I found on DeviantArt. Site is flooded with this crap now.
That’s supposed to be Daphne and Velma from Scooby-Doo.
First off, not even close. If I didn’t tell you who it was supposed to be, would have even guessed?
Secondly, AI art just steals images via search engine and re-renders it to…
What gets me is that the Chat AIs are by and large not programmed to prioritize giving accurate answers, but people are insisting on implementing them in areas where you would want accurate information.
I’m going to choose to believe this because it’s comforting. lol I don’t think I have a job that could be easily replaced with AI, but the amount of human suffering I just keep picturing is pretty horrible.
I seriously doubt many of the people pushing this actually believe they’re going to replace jobs. They’re just doing what they did before with blockchain and metaverse before this--goose the share price in the short term while they figure out what the Next Big Thing is.
The problem, as I see it, is the tech bros all took the AI roast out of the oven WAYYY before it was done, and now every business is pouncing on it because they want to stop paying workers to do things that an AI is supposed to be able to do.
AI is what happens when you couple Google with MS Word for predictive text. It’s a search engine, and not a good one: it’s Bing on weed, and not the good weed. It’s Bing on consecutive day fifteen of smoking some shitty ditch weed its buddy Dogpile sold it for two beers and a bro job, and you’re expecting this strung…
Legit all I want is a block function, like in the disqus days.
Do people really believe that corporations, when faced with paying a human or using AI, will choose to continue paying wages when there’s a free option?
By the way, the AV Club’s new overlords at Paste had some nice things to say about the AV Club’s comment section.
