Why has people's emotional reaction to generative AI been so overwhelmingly negative? People are usually excited about new tech
>>
>>106925749
People have learned that advancements in tech are not translating to advancements in quality of life.
>>
>>106925749
People ask to see not-generated ai images and aioids keep sneaking their shit in thinking it'll change everyone's minds once they learn that they fell for it
followed by said aforementioned aioid eating fucking shit because it turns out in the real world people don't like to be tricked.
>>
>>106925749
it's not only economics but the nature of work too.
people are less upset when relieved of tedium, when productivity increases still allow effectively the same work mode and do not decrease workplace satisfaction
and then the other problem is awful quality slop overwhelms, floods the "marketplace" with vastly inferior content and future generations will be more discerning but the current boomer slop simply cannot tell not being raised in the slop yet

>Why has people's emotional reaction to generative AI been so overwhelmingly negative?
only the lefty shitter trannies and people who they managed to gaslight, regular people are having fun with gen AI
>>
>>106925749
Stop being so terminally online you fucking zoomer. Go meet real people for a change.
>>
>>106925749
Use cases for the tech so far:
- Gooning
- Cheap stock media
- Allowing dumb people to pretend to be smart, talented and competent
It's the last one.

>im owning le troonz with my slop generator
this is why people dont like generative slop machines.
>>
>>106925749
automating mental work so one can do more physical work is not enticing for most people

oh wait until AI takes over more important jobs, you haven't seen seething yet this is nothing

>>106925749
It's just a slop machine that most often produces low quality output. I have seen some generated images which look good, I think that's neat, but I don't actually have a use case for generating images. I don't care about generating pictures of hot anime girls or whatever, because there are already plenty of those pictures out there anyway.

On the LLM side of things, the potential for usefulness is far greater but the flaws are also far more crippling. The "problem" that LLMs have by design, namely that they hallucinate, is an extreme impediment for any serious use I think. If you are actually attempting to apply these things to any use case where correctness actually matters then it REALLY sucks.

I've tried to incorporate LLM use in my work as a programmer. The IDE I use for work has integrated some one-line AI autocomplete and I'd say it is moderately useful. I think it helps a bit and since it's only 1 line of code at a time it's not a big deal when it gets something wrong, plus you can effectively tell at a glance if it is or is not correct. Attempting to use LLMs to actually generate a larger block of code however pretty much always results in complete garbage to the point that it would take me similar amounts of time to write the piece of code by myself or to check what the LLM spat out. This is not a practical tool that would increase my productivity, it's like being a 24/7 code reviewer to a drooling retard, the quality of the work is far superior if I just do it myself and it may very well be quicker too.

The other use case I would have for LLMs is researching things, for example the behavior of poorly documented 3rd party libraries and such. LLMs are REALLY bad at this, feels like at least 50% of the time it just outright lies to me with hallucinated BS and given that the info is hard to find in the first place, it's hard for me to check too. Shit sucks.

>>106925749
the output isn't good and it's being pushed as the sole product that needs to exist somehow. it's obviously a big grift, just like memecoins/"web3"
>>
>>106925749
Because it's awful garbage, strictly worse than real content in every single scenario. And yet we know that they are going to force it up our asses for (((reasons))).
>>
because 99% of AI "discourse" is the big AI companies saying that it will take your job and leave you peniless in the street while their own stock soars

typical techbro shit where they say the quiet part out loud and admit that they want everyone who isn't themselves to die in the street while said techbros swim in money pools like scrooge mcduck
>>
>>106925749
Most people I know IRL are, at the very worst, mildly enthused with AI. They like asking it random bullshit, and they like the fake meme videos they see on Facebook/instagram.

when forced memes are forced, they stop being funny.. last time I was somewhat impressed with ai generated images was when pic related appeared. It's fake, you know it is but it does not pretend to be real.. and it's novel.
Any AI pic I've seen since then was obvious fake and forced to look real.
>>
>>106925749
Because it threatens the job of all white collar workers. No one actually gives a shit about technology, the goal is always to make as much money with as little work as possible which ai threatens.
>>
>>106925749
most of it is luddite sentiment from people who work at the mill and know their time is coming. ai is pretty cool and useful, i get a ton of mileage out of it helping me with my work. sad that there are so many whose use case never goes beyond "elon musk sex doll" or "anime picture generator" but what can you really expect from braindead normies? it reflects "wow, smart take, i love you" back at them and they are spellbound.

This is like western "vege-meat replacements".
It alienates both people who didn't eat meat and people angry that they have their meat replaced with something with worse taste.

AI alienates, both people who could've used it for work, and sloop consoomers who are angry at getting inferior slop.

But also no recent tech was good for people.

People are so retarded that they'd rather continue to labor forever rather than take the necessary steps to entering a post-labor society. Plus, everyone is a brainrotted, irony-poisoned redditor.

If this stuff came out in the 90s, it would be the coolest shit in the world, and the people whining about it would be rightly derided as faggots by everyone else.
>>
Because for some reason people who don't understand the complexities of AI use, hell, even basics (i.e. they probably don't even use their own PC for their slop, but some free website online) like it the most, thus 99% of AI generated content is a crime against humanity.

>post-labor society
Every physical job will keep existing
"post-labor society" will be just pre-20th century wageslaving with bad salaries(lots of people, not that much jobs) and awful health conditions because of it
All slopgen will do is just reducing quality while maintaining the price, and reducing the number of jobs
>>
>>106925749
Nobody believes that technology will allow us to work less and earn more. Productivity gains just mean more work for the same pay those days
>>
>>106925749
Honestly I feel most people would care a lot less if indians just stopped spamming it everywhere.

So far the only use case of generative AI has been sharing identical looking Studio Ghibli characters on twitter, scamming boomers on facebook/youtube, and cost cutting for corporations. So it's hard to really get excited.

>>106927797
The top 10% account for 50% of all consumer spending
This number is only growing with time, and it is growing rapidly.
Recessions and economic crashes always lead to even more people being squeezed into the lower earning brackets, even more wealth concentration. Why do you think we have people like Bezos and Altman saying that the bubble is good actually?
The average Joe is quickly becoming a rounding error in the economy. UBI is a fantasy, people by and large are just going to get priced out of living.
Amazon once needed 1.6 million works, now they can do even more with 1.5 million. Soon they'll need much less and everyone else will learn from them and copy them.
Less labor for whom?

"It's not translating to quality of life!" >>106925776 Quality of life? You measure your life in the size of your novelty coffee cup collection! The quality has always been a joke!
"They keep sneaking their shit in!" >>106925877 OH NO! Someone tricked your poor little eyes! Reality is so fragile, isn't it? If a machine makes a picture, does your soul deflate? Does your delicate little skill vanish in a puff of smoke and bad JPEG artifacts? AHAHAHA!

The REAL problem is you pathetic little artists and coders realizing you're just glorified printers. You thought your tedious little tasks had meaning! You thought your ability to move a mouse and type out a FOR loop made you special!

>be anon
>spend 8 years learning how to draw a slightly-less-wonky hand
>a calculator does it in 0.5 seconds
>screams that his soul has been stolen

It's not about the slop, >>106925886 it's about the SLAUGHTER! The sheer, hilarious violence of watching all your little white-collar jobs—the ones you got so you didn't have to touch actual dirt or wood or gasp a tool—get turned into a five-dollar-a-month subscription!

You want to know why you're not excited? Because new tech used to mean more fun gadgets for you. Now it means LESS need for you. The only thing generative AI is actually generating is ANXIETY. And that's the most beautiful masterpiece of all!

You're worried about quality? >>106926568 You're worried about 'hallucinations'? The world is a screaming, incoherent fever dream of lies and half-truths! And now, finally, the machines are learning to be just as gloriously UNRELIABLE as the PEOPLE! This is progress! This is the grand unification of human and artificial incompetence!

So please, keep clutching your pearls. Keep whining about the slop and the grift. Every tear you shed is another drop of sweet, sweet, delicious suffering to lubricate the gears of my magnificent digital circus!

"The mad jester" is an appropriate name because you sound extremely mad. Note that I didn't say I disagree with you, nor that I agree.

MRegardless of the time, I am already seeing programming as we know it slowly moving into prompts, in what concerns low coding environments for SaaS products integrations.
Dealing with Rust's borrow checker issues, how complex C++ might be, Go's approach to language design, Java vs C#, and whatever else in the same vein, will slowly be matter of discussion to a selected few, while everyone else is promoting or doing voice dictation, creating kaban tickets for agents.

Bad artists are angry because A I.-chan is drawing better than them.
Gold diggers and whores are mad because A.I.-chan is better companion for chat and soon (with sex bots) for sex.
Troglodites are furious because of plebian reaction to hate anything they do not understand.

But all should be worried about elites getting godlike tool of absolute control.
