If AI can produce movies, video and art better aka “more entertaining” then humans than how is it a waste?

>>threet+(OP)
But it’s not. I think most can agree that there really has not been any real entertainment from genAI beyond novelty crap like seeing Lincoln pulling a nice track at a skate park. No one wants to watch genAI slop video, no one wants to listen to genAI video essays, most people do not want to read genAI blog posts. Music is a maybe, based on leaderboards, but it is not like we ever had a lack of music to listen to.

Because vast amounts of people find Coldplay entertaining. That doesn't mean it's a good thing.

Eventually it will be good enough that you won't know the difference.

I have a feeling that's already happened to me.

You lack imagination. When ChatGPT just came out people were saying it can never code. Now if you aren’t using ai in your coding you’re biting the dust.

Stop talking about the status quo… we are talking about the projected trendline. What will AI be when it matures?

Second you’re just another demographic. Smaller than fans of Coldplay but equally generic and thus an equal target for generated art.

Here’s a prompt that will one day target you: “ChatGPT, create musical art that will target counter culture posers who think they’re better than everyone just because they like something that isn’t mainstream. Make it so different they will worship that garbage like they worship Pearl Jam. Pretend that the art is by a human so what when they finally figure out they fell for it hook line and sinker they’ll realize their counter culture tendencies are just another form of generic trash fandom no different than people who love cold play or, dare I say it, Taylor swift.”

What do you do then when this future comes to pass and all content even for posers is replicated in ways that are superior?

>>wasmai+u7
Bro. You and your cohorts said the exact same thing about LLMs and coding when ChatGPT just came out. The status quo is obvious. So no one is talking about that.

Draw the trendline into the future. What will happen when the content is indistinguishable and AI is so good it produces something moves people to tears?

”What a way to show them. You rock! Unfortunately I can’t create the musical art you requested as you reference multiple existing musical acts by name. How about rephrasing your request in a way that is truly original and unique to you”

Again I’m referring to the future. When ChatGPT came out nobody thought it was good enough to be an assistant coding agent. That future came to pass.

Nobody gives a fuck about what ChatGPT can currently do. It’s not interesting to talk about because it’s obvious. I don’t even understand why you’re just rehashing the obvious response. I’m talking about the future. The progression of LLMs is leading to a future where my prompt leads to a response that is superior to the same prompt given to a human.

Bro, it sure if you noticed. ChatGTP isnt that great at coding end to end. It can regurgitate common examples well, but if your working on large technical code bases it does more harm that good. It need constant oversight, why don’t I write the code myself. We are at an infrastructure limit, not sure we are going to see order of magnitude improvements any more.

>>wasmai+VN9
I no longer write code. I’ve been a swe for over a decade. AI writes all my code following my instructions. My code output is now expected to be 5x what it was before because we are now augmented by AI. All my coworkers use AI. We don’t use ChatGPT we use anthropic. If I didn’t use AI I would be fired for being too slow.

What I work on is large and extremely technical.

And no we are not at an infrastructure limit. This statement is insane. We are literally only a couple years into LLMs becoming popular. Everything we see now is just the beginning. You can only make a good judgement call of whether we are at our limit in 10 years.

Because the transition hit so quickly a lot of devs and companies haven’t fully embraced AI yet. Culture is still lagging capability. What you’re saying about ChatGPT was true a year ago. And now one year later, everything you’re saying isn’t remotely true anymore. The pace is frightening. So I don’t blame you for not knowing. Yes AI needs to be managed but it’s at a point where the management no longer hinders you and it instead augments your capabilities.
