just called ai "the mediocrity machine" in a meeting and a tech bro is twitching so hard he can't even plug this into the mediocrity machine so it can tell him how to respond
@ElleGray I said the exact same thing yesterday, after watching the Apple WWDC keynote presentation. The ultimate effect of these "AI" tools will be the reduction of humanity to the least common denominator, an inherently reactionary drive toward conformity to mediocrity that the users of these tools will never even be able to perceive. LLMs and generative adversarial networks are really just elaborate Bayesian probability filters. Garbage in, garbage out.
@gcvsa @ElleGray That's how you get "Harrison Bergeron".
