Have you played with AI tools yet?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

I use my voice assistant daily, I take pictures with my phone which it retouches with varying results, and I search said pictures with text queries. As for generating bullshit pictures or untrue information, I don’t have much use for that.

But can you see how it COULD be useful? How you can be creative with your problem solving? You can use it to spitball ideas to yourself.

All the while the corporations register every idea you spitballed, with the very likely outcome that they will steal whatever of use gets indexed.

So? Does that undo the work you accomplished and submitted?

Look, I'm not going to spend more time to convince everyone they are going to screw themselves by being stubborn about AI tools. It's going to be paradigm shifting tech. It's the invention of the calculator, the Internet, the smart phone, etc. all over again. If you refuse to learn it, I am very confident you will be left behind, like a coal miner in an old company town.

I've already used AI to write functional working code for me. We are already rolling it out in medical practices. My friend are already using it to modify game code without even knowing anything about coding.

It's a new way to learn and accomplish things. Technology is a tool to be used. If you don't believe that, why are you using technology at all?

If it's creative work and other people create a whole saga of AI-generated crap with my ideas while I don't see a dime... I've lost.

And all the "successful" scenarios you've shown look more like cons and the recipe for shoddy work, so no, I'm not sold.

By the way, weapons are tech also, and I'm also opposed to their use.

Ok, well, I hope that works out for you. Really do. Weapons got us where we are today for better or worse. If you pine for a life in the woods, that's certainly a way to live life. But regardless of what you decide, the tech isn't going anywhere. And your competitors will be using it. And those who abhor weapons can still die upon them.

Did thinking of that image feel good for you?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 months ago

I don't know what that means. I don't think we are communicating. Just talking past each other. Be well.
