I think approximation is the right word here. It’s pretty cool and all and I’m looking forward how it will develop. But it’s mostly a fun toy.

I’m stoked for the moment the tech bros understand, that an AI is way better at doing their job than it is at creating art.

    I think one thing you and many other people misunderstand is that the image generation aspect of AI is a sideshow, both in use and in intent.

    The ability to generate images from text based prompts is basically a side effect of the ability that they are actually spending billions on, which is object detection.

    So you're happy to see AI take someone else's job as long as it isn't taking your job.

    Less work being done by anyone is better. Thinking it's bad that work is done for us by robots is the brain worms talking.

    Indeed. Ideally AI would do every job, so that humans can focus on just doing what we want to do. It'd be like the whole species getting to retire.

    You’d rather cheer for people to lose their jobs without anyone calling you out on it, sure.

    I’m not the angry one wishing unemployment on my “enemies” here.

    Who are you?

    What do you want?

    The ideal endpoint is to eliminate the concept of "jobs" entirely. Why should people have to work?

    Okay. So why are you breaking that guy's balls, over automating away jobs, which you don't want to exist?

    Because currently we do need jobs. Otherwise why is he upset about AI in the first place?

    Sure seems to be, he said he's "stoked" for when AI comes for the "tech bros"' jobs. But maybe he should speak up to clarify his own view, rather than you and I speculating about it in a side thread that wasn't actually about him to begin with?

    Are you sure you know what stoked means? Because it sure isn't anger.

    But maybe he should speak up to clarify his own view

    Or you could've asked, rather than repeatedly posturing. Especially when he asked you to stop doing that.

    You need to examine your behavior throughout this thread.

    You were the one who started talking on his behalf all of a sudden.

    Yes. What's your point here? Repeatedly quoting my comments back at me isn't adding anything.

    That comment was very Reddit of you. Don’t do that, please.

    Keep assuming. Fuel your own rage. I tried. Now I’m out. Good night and goodbye.

    You said tech bros will realize it's easier to replace their jobs than those of creatives. Who is included in "tech bros" here? I wanted a job in tech and can't get one partly because of AI. Am I a tech bro? I would be very careful what you imply here.
