Molly WhiteI spent a long time experimenting with AI before finally writing about it in depth. It can be pretty useful — but is it worth it?
When I boil it down, I find my feelings about AI are actually pretty similar to my feelings about blockchains.

Matt Wilcox@molly0xfff It also doesn't help when "normals" see the grift and hate the products. For example, this rant by IronMouse, who has nothing to do with tech. https://mstdn.social/@mattwilcox/112277570122352261

The AI stuff isn’t convincing to “normals” either. IronMouse absolutely rinsing Twitter’s “AI” features here, nail on the head. “Reads like when I was at school padding out a bullshit essay with loads of words and not saying anything”. “AI artists?” *laughing* “get that shit out of my art tags. I don’t want to see it.” AI is going to implode so hard in the next 12 months, when the over-valuations of speculative futures adjust to a reality where no one is liking it. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2120071913?t=2242s
