Drowning in AI Generated Garbage: the silent war we are fighting

The thing that bemuses me is those who hate the new trek shows with a passion, and find the time to keep watching and constantly bitching about it online. It is like complaining is a hobby in itself and they are almost looking for something they don't like or to feel superior about their judgement to those who do like it. Other franchises have similar subsets of “fans” too.

I used to watch too much TV/films IMO, I probably still do though I'm a lot more selective since getting into more varied hobbies that can easily consume a lot of time (running (usually off-road), baking, HEMA). But even when I had the free time to watch that much I found there was enough out there that if something didn't work for me I could find a list of other things to try instead of sticking with something I wasn't getting much out of.

Though be careful passing judgement on modern Trek: I'm slowly rewatching TNG with a friend and while some of it has aged well, fair chunks of it was more massively ropey than rose-tinted memories prepared me for! Also, if I hadn't at least passively consumed (i.e. had on TV while I was doing other things so not particularly concentrating on) other parts of recent Trek and Starwars, I might not have bothered to try some of the better stuff like Lower Decks, Strange New Worlds, and Andor (the latter probably being the second best TV thing recently for me, the first being Severance).

I wonder whether a winning solution to the coming massively-parallel "AI" megaspew will emerge, how it will work, and whether Google will be the ones to do it.

Or will the bulk of consumers overwhelmingly submit, and accept it as normal, much like we already do with huge regressions in the quality of interactions and thinking?

* Human: Explain to me the phenomenon of post-ChatGPT depression seen in a software developer

* ChatGPT: [...] After using the ChatGPT tool, some developers may experience feelings of depression, sadness, and loss. This may be due to the realization that their job as a developer has been reduced to using a tool that can be easily replicated by others, leading to a feeling of redundancy and lack of fulfillment in their work.

Additionally, the use of ChatGPT may also lead to a loss of creativity and problem-solving skills, as the tool takes care of the majority of the coding process. This can cause developers to feel like they are no longer contributing to their team or making a meaningful impact in their field.

In short, post-ChatGPT depression is a psychological reaction to the use of a tool that simplifies the coding process, leading to feelings of redundancy, lack of fulfillment, and loss of creativity in software developers.
