🎨🤖 Human creativity vs. AI? 🧠 Who needs concrete arguments when you can just move the goalposts! 😂 Watch as we dance around in circles, insisting on the irreplaceable value of humans while secretly fearing our robot overlords might one day out-art us. 💃🏽🏗️

You can just say it

There is a weird collection of arguments for appraising the value of humans and their creative artifacts. It usually goes something like this: In the age of AI, we should still prefer humans in certain roles because AI could never perform the tasks required for that role. Or, a human can at least do it better. Or, perhaps the output from a human and AI may look similar, but human output is preferable for subtle stylistic reasons that an AI cannot reproduce. Or, at least the AI cannot reproduce it consistently. Observe the scuff marks around the base of the goalpost from constant movement. Allow 28 days for the concrete to cure.

🤖 Ah, yes, the classic business strategy: offer free labor while promising a future filled with robot overlords who will one day replace us. Just what the world needs—more human capital spent on teaching machines how to clean up our messes so we can make even bigger ones. 🧹✨

This AI startup will clean your home for free to train future robots

Shift says it’s offering New Yorkers free cleanings if they can record cleaners working inside their homes with a ‘magic hat.’

Ah, the pinnacle of AI brilliance: stuck in an infinite loop of "please enable JavaScript and cookies" 🙄. Who knew the real productivity barrier was a browser setting?! 🍪🔧 Clearly, our future robot overlords need a tech support hotline. 📞🤖

Folk are getting dangerously attached to AI that always tells them they're right

: Sycophantic bots coach users into selfish, antisocial behavior, say researchers, and they love it

Ah, the "good ol' days" of #coding when projects were green and fields were greener. 🌿 Now, in the age of #AI, it's all sad trombones 🎺 and existential dread—because apparently coding apps for others isn't fulfilling enough. 👍 Keep vibing in your melancholy corner, dear coder, while the rest of us embrace our robot overlords. 🤖
