Just got this in the parent app, Ive truly become unhinged in that I responded immediately to the post: Ai really? Slop.
I cant take it anymore. A lady at the checkout of my dr appointment yesterday had a large poster, ehem, large ai poster of herself as a queen with text on it like “phone queen” and it was so hard to stand there and not say anything.
Imma get introuble at my son’s school this year, I can tell. Fuck Camino Alto, Fuck ai.
Interesting that the thread is filled with people saying using AI to make a flyer is fine because the person making the flyer doesn’t have the time, skill, or budget to do anything more than some text and clip art.
Doesn’t that argument literally apply to everything AI is used for? Isn’t AI literally being marketed as the tool to use to do the thing you don’t have the time, skill, or budget to do?
Someone doesn’t have the time, skill, or budget to make a nice looking website? Just use AI. Someone doesn’t have the time, skill, or budget to make a nice looking menu for their restaurant? Just use AI.
Why does that argument work here but not for everything AI is used for?
It’s always someone saying, “AI is fine to use if you use it for [skill that is outside my wheelhouse], but you shouldn’t use it for [skills I depend on to make a wage].”
Like, even as a software dev I acknowledge there are places where it should be readily used in directly making software, and places where it should never touch the actual code.
