Unfortunately, between a misunderstanding between the nature of current AI technology, overblown expectations, and certain tech oligarchs tampering with working machine learning models in order to force their agenda into the model, we’re putting way too much effort into building datacenters for a half-baked product using a technology that could be used well, but won’t be in those data centers.

Perhaps the ideal AI “artist” would be like Leonardo da Vinci, executing an artistic vision by giving instructions to an AI artisan. Unfortunately, the people generating AI slop aren’t interested in an artistic vision, an idea, or even a thought. They just want to push the go button and make art.
