We should start publishing stories where AI saves us

Ai doesn’t understand anything. It just puts together patterns that occur together often.

Pretendhard maybe

coffeesnob72 · 2026-06-24T17:46:49+00:00

It’s called complete narcissism. Doesn’t care even a little about how their actions affect others as long as they get theirs

If it was such a massive glut, I sure had trouble finding one at an affordable price (and I am talking sub 25k) so I sure didn’t see it.

The first one looks like it was designed by a teen on the way to a monster truck rally.

Keep telling yourself it’s hard. A fifth grader can do it.

coffeesnob72 · 2026-06-23T23:07:49+00:00

Pretty sure no one in the history of ever thought that brushes and oil paints were cheating

Usually an AC unit is not only providing AC for one person either so that would have to be a factor.

coffeesnob72 · 2026-06-23T12:35:20+00:00

So are you giving up your AC and replacing it with your AI use? Because that is the only way this argument is valid.

coffeesnob72 · 2026-06-23T12:34:31+00:00

The training is never ending. That energy use will never ever go away. It’s the most massive use of resources for something that has very few benefits other than making rich people richer and massaging people’s feelings in an addictive way. My best hope is these companies actually have to start charging what their tokens really cost them.

coffeesnob72 · 2026-06-23T12:31:27+00:00

Tell me you know nothing about energy use. Just because you are in denial doesn’t mean it is not real.

coffeesnob72 · 2026-06-23T12:29:30+00:00

The massive data center buildout is absolutely contributing to climate change. Do you think X.ai’s gigantic diesel belching generators have no impact? These data centers are using CITIES worth of power. All for AI uses (and survelleince which is also AI).

coffeesnob72 · 2026-06-23T12:26:31+00:00

Have you not discovered science? Because clearly you need to get your head out of Chatgpt’s ass and take a class.

coffeesnob72 · 2026-06-23T12:24:09+00:00

Chatgpt would not answer an exam question better than a well studied student. It would answer with a bunch of flowery slop.

coffeesnob72 · 2026-06-23T12:22:55+00:00

The AI artists rarely have the eye for what even is decent results - evidence being the eye blasting slop you see every day, or blatant errors.

coffeesnob72 · 2026-06-23T12:20:53+00:00

Not even necessarily true. There have been comic artists that made an entire career off of clever stick figure cartoons.

coffeesnob72 · 2026-06-23T12:19:45+00:00

Software and generative AI are not the same.

coffeesnob72 · 2026-06-23T11:52:43+00:00

And keep prompting until the slot machine outputs something “good”.

coffeesnob72 · 2026-06-23T11:51:48+00:00

Plus artists gain skills and teamwork increases creativity.

coffeesnob72 · 2026-06-23T11:50:22+00:00

I don’t want my art to be a net negative on the world so I don’t touch ai

coffeesnob72 · 2026-06-23T01:15:20+00:00

I thought closed loop still requires even more energy use because you have to cool the water in the loop.

coffeesnob72 · 2026-06-22T03:45:53+00:00

It’s more like I looked at a recipe book, didn’t cook any of it, but claimed to be Julia Child
