    This guy bought so many rare monkey tokens. Ai is impressive in some aspects, but it’s not nearly as impressive as the marketing that drives the massive amounts of investment into it.

    The US economy is doing anything it can to create growth, which is causing investors to create a bubble around AI that is “too big to fail”.

      Yeah. I ran into some ai generated porn a while ago without realizing it immediately and initially it was certainly very hot. Once i realized what it was my interest died completely and I realized the flaw with ai gen porn is the complete lack of narrative continuity, especially in the meta sense. You will only ever get the first thing you see and maybe some similar looking derivatives. You’ll never get it to make a true story exploring ideas and boundaries, or even just being able to make the same character consistently, let alone in different circumstances or within a larger meta context. It’s the most soulless art possible. It says nothing and it means nothing, and people are going to realize they care about those things when the novelty wears off.

      you seem to underestimate just how fast ai is growing.

        It’s growing fast, yes, but it’s nowhere near actually intelligent or hyperrealistic to the point it’s fooling anyone familiar with the tech.
