The Seven Voyages Of SteveThe most generous elevator pitch for “AI” is “you can speed up the creation of extremely mediocre work that’s possibly wrong”. The fact that that’s exciting to people is depressing.

Aras Pranckevičius@sinbad to be fair, “extremely mediocre work that’s possibly wrong” describes the work of many humans too. Recently I was talking to a friend, with an argument “I think most software is shit already, do we want more of more shit apps?!”, but his (sadly correct) response was “it does not matter, it will happen anyway”
Sören Meyer-Eppler@aras @sinbad but is there any domain where that is not the case? Food, music, architecture, construction, landscaping, painting, etc. Quality follows some kind of bell curve distribution with the vast majority of the corpus decidedly mediocre. If that isn't the definition of the term to begin with...
Philip Trettner@aras yeah I just wish that wasn’t the attitude we were empowering
