But not all AI output is slop, that’s the point.lie
If you teach a turtle to use a skateboard it’s going to think it’s amazing and no one could ever need to go faster than that.
Because turtles are fucking slow.
Give a deer a skateboard, and it’s not going to give a shit.
Some people are turtles, so AI seems useful and impressive.
Maybe someday AI will improve and a person of average intelligence will find AI impressive. But at this rate the human race won’t last that long.
That’s the main problem when AI comes up in discussion, there is a very wide gap between someone who thinks AI is useful, and someone who actually understands what it is, what it does, and what the true cost is.
So if you try to explain it with facts and logic, it has no chance of working.
