      Maybe because products that say they’re using AI are just using slightly more clever programming.

      IMO, companies will put AI in their marketing to make consumers think it is some how better. But usually it’s worse or meaningless.

      I don’t need AI in my fridge. I need a fridge that runs for years with no problem.

      AI doesn’t overcome terrible design or cheap parts …looking at you Samsung

      Probably because a neural-network model that can’t understand the context around the decision it’s supposed to be making, and doesn’t even know what a *thing* is, is not artificial intelligence. It is at best artificial stupidity.

      “You can do X with our new AI tool built into our product!”

      “But I didn’t need to do X in the first place though..? And now there’s a subscription fee?”

      I don’t know how this is possible. I’ve relied on products that use AI my whole life. How do you expect the device to know how to turn on when you hit the power button without AI?

      Its because there is less value to them but AI bros won’t ever realize that. They just want the results of an artist’s life without ever struggling to be one.

      When we see something impressive in terms of art or technique, its impressive equally in terms of craftsmanship and aesthetics whether we recognize it consciously or not. We admire both the dedication of the artisan and the quality of their results.

      When YOU KNOW that something wasn’t made by a human, there is intrinsically less value to it because half or more of its value has been removed by default.

      In addition to the above, the training of these AI models has been a product of theft and violation and many people realize this, making the results of those models even less attractive.

      Media, too. That Toys R Us commercial was disturbing on a deep level. Like, my brain instantly rejects it on instinct.

      No shit, nobody wants that garbage and I sure as heck don’t need it scraping my data.
