So telling someone to make a table for you is more human than making it yourself, because you're using natural language instead of saws and hand planes?
I would say yes, conversing between two humans, maybe even collaborating, is more human than a solitary human using inanimate objects.

So, why did you use it in this case?
So you consider calling something "ironic" an extreme position? On a more general note, you will find that many people are uncomfortable with the idea that AI will replace human work, especially when it relates to art, which this project in question references.
And I think the same will apply here, with GenAI.

#75Watch it if you haven't already. I accidentally landed in the middle of it while doing some illicit late night channel surfing when I was a kid.. this left quite an impression. I think it was a healthy formative influence for me and primed me for rejecting fads / peer pressure, distrusting authority, etc. Probably also helped me to resist the more unhealthy aspects of a religious time/place, and I was even doing ligh…
What I find funny (only not really) is the wildly different interpretations of this film people have, for many they seem to be primed by other things to see in it what they want. Basically skeptical of common forms in modernity, that is very clearly the intention. However, I have also seen that in extreme far-right communities this film represents how Jewish people control the world... somehow I don't think that is w…

If it was a basic biological function then the marketing department wouldn’t exist.
Consumption and love/sex are things we tend to do naturally, but marketing just ramps it up to a level we probably wouldn't reach if we weren't forced or manipulated into it. Just about anybody can fall in love, but marketing can pressure you into thinking that not falling in love and being with someone means you've failed at life and marketing can fill with you anxiety if you aren't in love, or haven't had sex, or y…

#77on the same line, but less pop meme replacements https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/artificial-cl... it replaces terms used to exalt Artificial Intelligence to what they really mean, and some tongue in cheek jokes against things that are used to pass billionaires/tech as friendly (e.g. replacing bill gates with his actual name)
That's so obnoxiously stupid and annoying, wow.

"Say what you want about the tenets of national socialism, at least it's an ethos" -- The Big Lebowski, another influential film to many people.
I like The Big Lebowski, it has some fun lines, but John Goodman's Walter Sobchak doesn't have a monopoly on the English phrase "Say what you will about X". And indeed apparently the line was in fact "say what you want about the tenets of national socialism", not "say what you will about the tenets of national socialism" ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_29yvYpf4w ).

#79Oh the irony: "They Live", a movie famously about alienation and dehumanization, and you let AI do all the coding.
What if it wouldn't get done otherwise? (Genuine question as we're all trying to figure this shit out)

AI is amazing at jumping into an unfamiliar codebase, it was probably 20 mins total work
