It’s almost as if A.I. made everyone forget what excellence feels like. We all know excellence when we see it. We all know A.I. isn’t excellent.

It reminds me of when everyone thought PS1 graphics were just like real life

i wonder how much of it is people desperate for an optimistic vision of the future, where technology would save us all.

But yet it is creeping into every nick and cranny of our existence. It’s a little too much not a fan

AI is a whole bigger (and by and large more useful) thing than just Chatbots, but most people outside academia never interacted with it. So when chatgpt etc rolled out suddenly everyone thought this was AI (Thankfully it isn't). Most of the takes on AI are therefore total nonsense

No, it is mid by design. The fact that is acceptable reflects so poorly on many of us.

It's almost definitionally *not* excellent. It's very, very, very, very average, with some randomness added back in for flavor.

There was a time when I was afraid ai would become so ubiquitous that we’d be unable to trust that art we encountered was made by a human. Perhaps that day will come…but my god is it easy to tell the difference right now.

I confess I find it a tad disheartening at how many people are okay with "mediocre." It's even more reason that we creators need to strive for excellence in our work, to show the power of human creativity.

In recruitment advertising, I seem to be seeing companies posting non-existing jobs using AI to collect user info, with AI-generated applications flooding in, that are reviewed by AI, creating a garbage loop that pushes out genuine human interaction at every stage of the process.
