A year from now you will not know if something is AI or not in nearly all cases. "Filtering" is therefore a fruitless endeavor, there are _entire training methods_ (GAN) specifically designed to bypass any conceivable filtering. Hating generative AI is like pissing into the wind, you'll just get all wet. The most constructive way to proceed from here is to make it work for you.

#22Everything changes, nothing is forever. It's a hard truth, but the more capable you are of accepting and rolling with it, the better your life will be. I've heard it said that the tagline for the theory of evolution should really be "survival of the most adaptable " , and I think that applies at every level, from the species, to the culture, to the subculture, to the family, and finally, the individual. If the intern…
Thats a really nice take actually, love it

#23The hiring spree after all these companies which laid people off in favour of AI systems when they realise LLMs can't produce a single thing of meaningful value is going to be absolutely insane. Companies that can onboard staff as quickly as possible to replace the much-needed staff that LLMs can't replace will survive. Lots of companies will struggle to re-hire and many will fail.
Customers do not want to interact with LLMs. They don't want products produced by LLMs. They don't want to read, watch, play with or listen to AI-produced content.

That is the tagline. In the phrase, "survival of the fittest," "fittest" means "most adaptable," at least according to the Merriam Webster English dictionary.

#25It is distressing, but you can rest assured from the current fruit that the first AGIs will be complete idiots.
Re: Fucking Tired of AI
#26The best part of all of it is, there is no alternative or replacement when AI automates everything.
We'll see what happens when the tide gets low.

#27Read a book from a good author and you will see how just how far AI is from relating to actual human experience.

There are so many things you could say that about, and we actually did make real progress as a society. Go back ~80 years, and it would seem ludicrous in the extreme that we wouldn't always have chain-smokers in every bar, restaurant, apartment building, etc. And yet society fought back against Big Tobacco. If I try to walk into my local bar and light a cig, I'll be tossed out.
Rivers that were once poisonous are now swimmable.
People move back to city centers and get rid of their cars.
If generative AI has negative effects on society (yes), we can and we should fight back. Giving up now won't do anything other than guarantee the awfulness continues.

#29It's funny how so many people are in your situation about to lose it over AI while I'm sitting here waiting for AI/LLMs to affect my life..like..at all. I seriously can't think of one major experience, positive or negative, that I have with AI in my day to day life. > being bombarded with tons of AI-written books, pornography, music, video, audio, images I don't come across any of these unless I am very actively look…

AI generated "hero" images are pretty common on blogs and other blog-like sites. I run into them all the time by just clicking links on HN. "AI" generated garbage has made me both more blind to them and more annoyed by the whole concept of a "hero" image.
Edit: here is and obvious example I found, just now: https://betterschooling.in/collection/education-and-healthca.... Literally the next post I clicked on after writing this. Look at how fucking terrible and obviously AI that hero image is. FFS, the "patient's" head is an exposed brain the best I can tell.
I was wasting time on YouTube the other day, and I come across a video (I think about the Alien franchise), that had a huge amount of AI generated images and videos. The video started with a message saying it was a remake of a previous one that apparently had some copyright strikes against it. It was disgusting and unwatchable.

#30Spend less time on social media, and the internet in general
But I /love/ the Internet, I've been here since the very beginning. It's like seeing your home town get run down and turned into a dumpster.
Then do your due dilligence and delve deeply into the concept of dumpster-diving in cybernetic contexts.
