watching the tide turn (or, more accurately, the undercurrent bubble up) on AI has been interesting

It's interesting that the social reaction started to surface as soon as the companies failed to get more investment and decided to increase prices. I know it was there the entire time, so what exactly was suppressing the attention towards it? Was it satisfied customers or the companies paying to deplatform the message?

It has nothing to do with that.

In a hype cycle, at the beginning, it is easy to harvest attention just by talking about the hype. But as more people do this, eventually the influence market is saturated.

After this point, you then will get a better ROI on attention by taking the opposite position and discussing the anti-hype. This is where we currently are with AI, the contrarians are now in style.

"I strongly feel that AI is an insult to life itself." - Hayao Miyazaki I'm going to start using this quote.

You changed the quote: His statement was about a specific technology, an AI that make 3D character move like zombies.

The author is also changing the subject of the quote.

He said it reminded him of a disabled friend that this technology was an insult to life itself.

I appreciate seeing this point of view represented. It's not one I personally hold, but it is one a LOT of my friends hold, and I think it's important that it be given a voice, even if -- perhaps especially if -- a lot of people disagree with it. One of my friends sent me a delightful bastardization of the famous IBM quote: A COMPUTER CAN NEVER FEEL SPITEFUL OR [PASSIONATE†]. THEREFORE A COMPUTER MUST NEVER CREATE AR…

What was the original word?

"horny"

A lot of valid arguments. But the conclusion (hate) is not constructive. LLMs are here, and they are going to stay. Like cars, internet or smartphones.

Thats nonsense and just feeds the inevitability narrative.

I love the high citation per sentence ratio and couldn't agree more with the sentiment. It seems that, finally, people are starting to verbalize sufficiently direct responses to the AI slop being flung at us from all angles.

Outright rejection won't help with making AI go away. We can only change it, but it is here to stay.

Not trying to "make it go away", though that'd be great, just making another irrelevant technology that I dont interact with.
