i have noticed that there are two competing narratives in the leftwingosphere:
A) ai is 100% slop garbage and a giant waste of electricity, pumping out garbage images with multiple hands and the text is nothing but hallucinations that can’t even count the number of r’s in “strawberry”
and at the same time
B) AI is going to take all our jobs and we will all be homeless and poor while tech billionaire CEOs turn us into slaves
@Eyekaytee @teawrecks
Fun fact: they are scarily compatible as long as the CEOs are not in their role thanks to meritocracy :)
Wouldn't slop AI crash their motorcade or private jet pretty much immediately?
@CanadaPlus
If we step aside from cartoon logic for a second, we can still see manmade crucial tasks and a vast background of sloppy low quality production.
Not that quality is highly sought after these days anyway.
No, it'd be cartoon logic if I said their motorcade should watch out for packs of dynamite and walls painted to look like more road. By contrast, broken stuff not working isn't a hard case to make.
