Salty writer fears being made obsolete by beep boop. Insults every AI enthusiast as well successful engineers and scientists.
i hate how popular it's become to hate on AI amongst people who know little to nothing about it.
Id forgive it if it were clever or funny, but this is really just obviously salty ad hominem strawmanning by someone who doesn't understand or appreciate the technology
Guess what fam, we are in the copilot tool phase. You can learn how to use these new tools AND learn how to be creative. Maybe then you could ask it to critique the humour in your satire article. Perhaps it would be more clever than "people who like this thing I don't like are dumb, and can't be creative or better than me In any way, because I'm cooler than AI will ever be!!! You nerds are stooooopid!!"
Because that's how it read.
As an IT Professional i hate AI, because many People favor AI in Situations where statistical Algorithms are already good.
I agree that AI can be helpful and inspiring for new Algorithms but in many cases AI is used to replace Algorithms, wasting huge energy resources in the process - instead of just improving said Algorithms.
hey, that's a better critique or commentary than in the onion article.
while i don't doubt people are trying to shove AI into a lot of places it's not optimal yet, (which is entirely fair and reasonable to point out) i don't think that's a fair reason to poo-poo any use or positivity about AI in any context.
rather, it's become a really big fad to hate on AI and insult anyone who uses it. i mean, the technology is still young, but the stuff it's already doing was "impossible" and "never going to happen" a few years ago. now we are developing things like text to 3d, which makes me excited for a future environment where you can dictate design and animation for entire animated experiences/movies.
independent creatives will have a blast with it. salty onion article writer will be angrily yelling at his computer.
I just don't even talk with people about it anymore. Keep my interests to myself because it doesn't fucking matter what it is anymore-- being trained in tech, having a love for tech, all it is is a setup to find out the shit that you like in the field that you know has already been fucking stolen and driven into the ground by the neckbeard settler techbros that have been the bane of your existence and industry since before you were even born.
Not worth talking about it anymore, to anyone.
