  • Lol didn’t the tobacco and oil industries try this?

    A nuanced view shows that impacts need to be more readily assessed, but the current aim is gogogo. I also image people wouldn’t be so worried if it weren’t for the fact that we’re still amidst some intense droughts across much of the country. Instead of saying “oh yea”, they say “well, AI will figure out out!”





  • Its definitely an interesting case study in human behavior.

    Marking it as AI-generated and then laughing that people critique it is a weird bait-and-switch that preys on people taking things at face value. We’ve come to have baseline trust that when something is marked X, its because it is X. But that’s something different.

    People (IMO) don’t like AI generated art because of both the lack of actual thought put into it as well as taking away from people who put their all into actually creating art that then is cribbed by AI generators.

    Combine those two factors and of course you’ll have people taking knee-jerk reactions. I’d be interested in seeing how many people did call out that it was a real Monet, rather than a cool person copy-pasting reactions that met the expected outcome. I tried looking at replies but only have his “gotcha” reply showing up on nitter* instances.

    Also: holy shit this guy is kind of a dick on twitter in general lol

    Edit: spelling




  • Luddites get such a shit reputation when they were in fact worried about losing their jobs to automation. When they protested, the bosses said they just were afraid of the future. Then automation came and they lost their jobs.

    I only found out about that a few years ago. I was always taught that they were like mean Amish people lol
