I think approximation is the right word here. It’s pretty cool and all and I’m looking forward how it will develop. But it’s mostly a fun toy.
I’m stoked for the moment the tech bros understand, that an AI is way better at doing their job than it is at creating art.
tech bros jobs is to wrote bad javascript and fall for scam, this AI already beaten
I think one thing you and many other people misunderstand is that the image generation aspect of AI is a sideshow, both in use and in intent.
The ability to generate images from text based prompts is basically a side effect of the ability that they are actually spending billions on, which is object detection.
So you're happy to see AI take someone else's job as long as it isn't taking your job.
Taking the jobs of the people responsible for creating it seems preferable to taking others' jobs.
That comment was very Reddit of you. Don’t do that, please.
You'd rather cheer for people to lose their jobs without anyone calling you out on it, sure.
Keep assuming. Fuel your own rage. I tried. Now I’m out. Good night and goodbye.
I'm not the angry one wishing unemployment on my "enemies" here.
I think they're using AI to say the same sentence over and over again.
He's saying the same thing because he's not actually getting a proper response. The other guy just keeps saying shit like "That's very reddit of you" or some shit after possibly threatening his job.
You said tech bros will realize it's easier to replace their jobs than those of creatives. Who is included in "tech bros" here? I wanted a job in tech and can't get one partly because of AI. Am I a tech bro? I would be very careful what you imply here.
All three of you are insufferable
I am insufferable for wanting a job? I am not the one inventing these AIs. Nor am I the one firing people because they exist.
When people talk about "tech bros" without clarifying who they mean I can only imagine they are including people like me.
Less work being done by anyone is better. Thinking it's bad that work is done for us by robots is the brain worms talking.
Indeed. Ideally AI would do every job, so that humans can focus on just doing what we want to do. It'd be like the whole species getting to retire.
Who are you?
What do you want?
The ideal endpoint is to eliminate the concept of "jobs" entirely. Why should people have to work?
Okay. So why are you breaking that guy's balls, over automating away jobs, which you don't want to exist?
Because currently we do need jobs. Otherwise why is he upset about AI in the first place?
Is he?
Sure seems to be, he said he's "stoked" for when AI comes for the "tech bros"' jobs. But maybe he should speak up to clarify his own view, rather than you and I speculating about it in a side thread that wasn't actually about him to begin with?
Are you sure you know what stoked means? Because it sure isn't anger.
Or you could've asked, rather than repeatedly posturing. Especially when he asked you to stop doing that.
You need to examine your behavior throughout this thread.
You were the one who started talking on his behalf all of a sudden.
Do you listen to yourself?
Yes. What's your point here? Repeatedly quoting my comments back at me isn't adding anything.
I haven't said one word on that guy's behalf.
You've done little else.
You are a massive hypocrite.
If you're not doing this on purpose then you have my pity. Either way: good day.
Okay, bye, I guess. I still don't know what exactly you're accusing me of, but whatever.
It's bad at anything useful for programming too.
And the things it's good at have been developed by stealing GPL/copyleft code.
