Thoughts on AI

AI Pisses Me Off (Sometimes)
- A lot of the times when searching I find articles written by AI which are wordy, vague, or just plain wrong. If I wanted an AI article I would've just asked chatgpt. When writing it can be useful to bounce ideas off of or to suggest synonyms and rephrasing. I rarely copy things word for word though because AI has this stuck up way of speaking that just pisses me off. It's like if Lorimer was injected into my pc.
- I wish companies wouldn't put AI in everything. I don't want more bloat in my OS. I don't want AI to search my pc, edit my pictures, or write my emails. I can do it myself.
- Sometimes I do use it for help when coding. It's often quicker at giving me a solution than scrolling through stack overflow. However, only for simple problems. When the problems get more complex, I find it struggles and I have to learn how to solve it from blogs or videos or whatnot.
- I was talking to some people I know who work at companies like meta and they were saying they like ai. It helped speed up their work and they found it useful when programming. They also said that they were expected to do more now that they had ai at their disposal.
- I enjoy the creation process that ai tries to replace. Theres something about a human made thing with its human imperfections that I like.
- Ai photos are getting scarily good. I've been fooled a few times and its always spooky.
- I saw someone use AI to blend between different camera angles to make it look like a single take. It was actually hella cool, but I was initially annoyed about it. But it's not actually that different from CGI right? It's using a computer to create something that couldn't have been done in person. And I like CGI, its fun to make. So why was I mad? I think it was just a predisposition to not like something that was made with AI. That sort of shot would have been extremely difficult and time consuming for someone to do with CGI, and AI made it possible and really really cool.
- If AI had come into fruition as nothing but a tool, would I have had a different opinion on it? Like, if I came into this as someone who hadnt had to deal with the bloat and the slop, what would I think? Would I regard this as a fad or a genuinely useful invention? Right now my opinion is negative probably because of all the annoyances, but maybe that'll change in the future.
- I've kind of taken the stance that even if AI is out there, I don't want to use it. When I'm making stuff, I'm mostly making it for myself, and artificial intelligence would take the fun out of that. But if I was working on commercial projects, or trying to gain followers, or to insert myself into any of the competitive landscapes out there, maybe it would be beneficial.
