I mean, even the crappiest advertising literally makes Big Tech trillions of dollars, so unfortunately I don’t think is reality.

Toupee fallacy.

Yupp. Videos like these fit that pretty well. Unfortunate decision, since the toothbat is really useful.

AI is about increasing profits. Consumer choice is not a thing when 99% of companies follow the same profit driven incentives. Reactions like this, while good, are not going to change anything. You cant make change through consumption. You must make change through labor and labor organization.

This sub is just filled with "consumption" based solutions to the point that I feel it is almost negative in trying to fight the actual problems with AI and art.

I want to see more pro union and pro labor posts here. This "change through consumption" crap is really getting old.

Actually the more a company spends on advertising the more it's going to be a cheap scammy product. Have you ever bought anything off TV? I don't recommend it. $29 minimum for things that should be in a $5 misc bin at Walmart. Why? You are paying for their marketing.

I mean it IS normalized. They don't care to put effort into marketing and proper product representation. What does that speak about them, as a company?

Hard to differentiate

Better to assume they are cheaping out on the product or overcharging you if they can afford to advertise

Trust me, you're going to have zero ability to discern what is AI generated in less than two years.

Not too sure about that, that might be the case but currently, they would need much more training to not mess up facial features, to make images truly lifelike and to follow prompt instructions better.

I've used dalle a fair bit and I came to the conclusion that you will never get a truly accurate representation of a person, such as hair on a bald persons head, stubble turning into a moustache, tons of wrinkles for no reason, etc. It only seems good at generating cartoon characters, even then though, there are still inaccuracies.

It would be so hilarious to revisit this confident (dare I say it: AI levels of confidence!) statement in two years when AI has crashed like every other previous wave of AI tech.
