for anyone looking for a gentle introduction to why generative AI fucking sucks, here’s some long-form YouTube sneer that goes surprisingly deep. none of what’s in the video will be new to our regulars, but I’m gonna keep the link in my back pocket for the next time my friends or family ask me why I’m not an AI fan

AI ought to be called abominable intelligence/abominable intellect.

The fact that “artificial intelligence” suggests any form of quality is already a paradox in itself ^^. Would you want to eat an artificial potato? The smokes and mirrors should be baked in.

I would eat artificial meat(*) so I think it is all a bit context depending. So I don't agree with you on the paradox there. But I do get where you are coming from, artificial potato (it is actually beef!) sounds weird.
