I don't hate AI itself, but the amount of AI slop ruining the internet gives me a negative feeling about it whenever I see it. I used to enjoy fucking around with the early pre-2021 GANs, diffusion models and GPT3 playground before ChatGPT was around and actually liked the crazy dreamlike nonsense they made, but now it all feels like dead soulless crap getting used to replace humans. Probably going to get super downvoted for admitting to ever liking AI image gens lmao

I think it's great for when you're looking for answers and need follow up questions (when it gives you accurate answers). It's been great at work when I've been stuck on some technical stuff.

But at a consumer level, I think that's as far as it should go. Image and video generation, in my opinion, shouldn't be a thing for the public. It's a too higher cost in terms of environment and resource usage just to have slop videos that give us a chuckle for our entertainment. That should be reserved for proper things like scientific and medical research - at least that would eventually have a net benefit to society I suppose.
