So mad that AI text and image generation is structurally designed for these dumb faulty cost-squeezing measures instead of getting to flower in its true purpose as an alien nightmare machine https://www.theverge.com/2023/1/25/23571082/cnet-ai-written-stories-errors-corrections-red-ventures
CNET found errors in more than half of its AI-written stories

The tech news site came under scrutiny this month after it was reported the outlet was using AI to write articles. Last week, executives said the use of the AI tool would be paused “for now.”

Generative AI (yes imagine scare quotes around “AI” I’m not going to fight it here) should be a dream-logic distillation of our collective consciousness but is headed toward just being another artists v techbros culture war battlegrounds and it’s so deeply boring

@thedextriarchy Exactly! Why are more people not talking about the fact that, maybe AI is bad at drawing hands, because a lot of artists struggle with it too? :P

I'm always hearing artists mention that drawing hands are the hardest thing, considering they're such a small part a drawing of a person.
