Is it just me or is everyone who absolutely loves AI just painfully below average? - Lemmy.ca

Like, every AI generated thing I’ve seen, when viewed from the eyes of someone who actually knows what they’re doing, is at best below average. Maybe some things aren’t quite as bad as the general “AI slop”, but of the things I’m actually experienced in (code and art), I just see so many amateur mistakes in everything AI. Regarding art, AI can make really visually appealing things, but it gets the details wrong. That’s something that a below average artist does. And regarding code, it’s the same thing. Overall, it has the appearance of decent code, but it gets the details wrong, just like a below average dev. (Probably about the level of a high school senior or college freshman.) I’m not super experienced at writing, but I can also tell that it’s not very good at that. The stories it writes just aren’t compelling, but I’m not experienced enough to tell you why. And the same with music. It’s just below average, but I couldn’t tell you why. I’m not trying to sound elitist by saying this, but I’ve noticed people who aren’t very good at these things tend to praise how good the AI is. So, is it just me, or are the big fans of AI just below average at whatever the AI is doing?

The only person around me (that I know) that uses AI is me and the company mechanic. I only ever use it as an easier ‘image search’ to find the source of manga/anime or similar things. He only uses it to figure out what brand/model machine he needs to work on so he uses it to find the manual pdfs.

I feel like we’re using it the ‘right way,’ but I feel like we’re not actually using the AI part so…

You mean you both use a search engine that has the word AI on it.
Yeah, I use it through gemini (only cause pixel and bottom button press is easy) and he (unfortunately 🤮) uses grok, but we (or at least I do) only use it for image/object recognition. Really useful for that at least, although again, calling it AI might be a misnomer.
