        I mean it’s not even new. The last decade we mostly just called it machine learning and this type of work has been going on longer than that. It only feels new because we’re putting generative tools in people’s hands. It’s already proven itself, it’s already replacing jobs.

          Truth. The generative AI stuff is just slightly better, slightly more accessible machine learning technologies trained on massive amounts of public internet data.

          About the jobs part though, it’s also creating a lot of jobs. Will it be more or less jobs long term, it’s hard to say. However, machine learning right now creates a ton of high paying technical jobs.

      [the origins of that quote are a bit sketchy but I’ll just ignore that cause its a funny quote]

      I can say something similar, if I had a penny for every time the next big thing was pronounced and hyped, but didn’t take off, I could probably afford a Rivian.

    This reminds me of my last and final salvia trip. I fell through a black hole (my black papasan chair) and landed in the Steamboat Willie cartoon, except the colors were black, white, and evil. Then a giant red theater curtain fell on me, and I was back in reality, except everything was made of squares that were rotating on their vertical axis.

    My spouse is now mocking me because I giggled in front of a picture of ingredients. “Ooooh funny… ingredients… oh … oh … oh…”

      It’s really funny but I share your skepticism. At least the labels appear to be edited in after the fact, they’re way too clear and similar and not messy enough to be real, unless there’s something new with DallE-3 I guess.

      I haven’t been able to get it to print labels on each thing like that, but dall-e definitely has difficulty spelling, or even using real letters. Sometimes when I don’t even ask for text it just prints part of the prompt somewhere in the image in the style of a live laugh love decal, but with at least one word spelled wrong or corrupted.

    not yet right now,

    hilarious by those outputs.

    But still, sooner maybe, as long as AI keeps learning and improving and advancing, it may come true sadly.

      There are certain ways in which the AI seems to plateau short of the desired usefulness in some ways. If the output is supposed to be verbatim specific to the point a machine could consume it, it tends to have these sorts of mistakes. It shines at doing a better job in ingesting direction and data that is ‘messy’ and processing it and spitting it back at a human for a human to similarly have to be capable of correcting ‘messy’ input, though with it doing a lot of the heavy lifting to be influenced by more data.

      This is a huge chunk of huge utility, but for very specific things and things that really require expertise, there seems to be an enduring need for human review. However, the volume of people needed may be dramatically reduced.

      Similar to other areas of computing. Back in the 1930s, an animated film might take 1500 to make it happen. Now fewer than a tenth of that could easily turn out better quality with all the computer assistance. We’ve grown our ambitions and to make a similarly ‘blockbuster’ scale production which is insanely more detailed and thoroughly animated we still are talking about less than half the staff.

      It seems that AI will be another step in that direction of reducing required staff to acheive better than current expectations, but not entirely displacing them. Becomes extra challenging, since the impacts may be felt across so many industries all at once, with no clear area to soak up the potential reduced labor demand.
