this reminds me of the endless "genre fiction isn't real literature" shit (and the accompanying excuses they make when they encounter something with obvious literary merit) which usually boil down to "if laypeople can appreciate it then it's not art"

A.I. versions of cute animal videos are NOT the worst thing one can make with A.I. But they feel so immensely, deeply infuriating, because the entire appeal of cute animal videos is something cute, wholesome, and heartwarming *actually happening.* Their reality IS THE POINT.

1) Why are you still pretending this thing is a person what is wrong with you are you damaged 2) When a program clearly malfunctions to the point even Piers Morgan is scoring points on it live on television, it says a lot when the people behind the program can't or won't acknowledge it fucked up.

Tilly Norwood, a controversial AI “actor,” abruptly switched languages during an interview with Piers Morgan, though the company behind the AI creation denied she malfunctioned.

Fortnite is making rounds again despite multiple brushes with LLMs and Tim Sweeney generally being an asshole. Aniimo used advertisements and assets generated by LLMs during its beta and I have no reason to believe they're not just lying about halting its usage. Object permanence people, please.

What's your "origin" video game? Most gamers have a lot of favorite games, sure, but there's always one that basically 𝘥𝘦𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴 you. I'm talking about the game that flipped that little switch in your brain and made into a life-long gamer. So, which game is 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙨?

"why bother? no one will ever see me as a woman..." wow look who's forgetting about Me and All My Friends and All My Friends' Friends and All Their Friends and Their Friends and Their Friends and Their Friends and Their Friends too. believe in a brighter tomorrow right fucking now

I truly, deeply, sincerely do think the guy flipping burgers at McDonalds should be able to afford rent, bills, and groceries with his paycheck alone. That's kind of the whole point of having a job and I can't believe this is considered a radical position.🤷🏽‍♀️

This is why I hate "just a tool" so so so much. You can make a calculator without access to every calculation. You can make photoshop without access to all photos. Someone show me a genai tool that didn't require all of our labour in its production. It's plagiarism software.

Eye popping. Court just unsealed Summary Judgment motions in New York Times v OpenAI / Microsoft. Easy to see why the AI companies had so many redactions (pink). Their own people wrote the lede for NYT, the "largest theft of labor in human history"... "more and more substitutive..." /1
