AI Is a Lot of Work

How many humans does it take to make tech seem human? Millions to support OpenAI, Google, Meta, and every other major tech company. As AI becomes ubiquitous, a vast tasker underclass is emerging — and not going anywhere.

this is among the reasons I get easily frustrated with artists who work with AI claiming that they're "collaborating with the machine." you're not! you're collaborating with other people, it's just that the way you're talking to them is asynchronously and anonymously through a terrible rube goldberg device made of GPUs that distorts everything in the conversation. might as well say that your uber ride is "collaborating with the machine"

@aparrish
People love to anthropomorphize everything, like grossly misinterpreting the principles of evolution (animals consciously "evolving") to seeing anything resembling intelligence in current A"I".

Paganini may not have authorized Rachmaninov to use his 24th Caprice, but at least Rachmaninov was a legitimate composer. Any AI "music" I've heard is bland and toneless with ridiculous harmonic and melodic deviations.
