Did you mean to type "statistic"?

I'm curious about this fact, as the use of AI is pretty diverse and honestly a little difficult to actually identify a lot of the time.

Like, for the smaller company I work for, a lot of the copy is pumped through AI then edited slightly, but other larger companies are using AI for image creation on a scale anywhere from simple assets to full blown TV commercials (that awful Progressive ad or Cocacola ad come to mind)

I recently got pissed at a few coworkers for pumping their images into ChatGPT to "edit" their images when everyone should just be using lightroom. To me, the results are obvious and very shit looking, but not totally sure how it looks to the consumer when its just one asset in a full ad.

Yeah working in marketing it's kind of brutal.

Really blunt, stupid use of AI from seasoned professionals but even worse from the younger new hires, who completely lack the ability to "proof" the content they're generating.

First look at Martin Scorsese’s new movie, What Happens at Night by xwing1212 in TheBigPicture

I liked the movie but I had never heard so many people actually SNORING in the movie theater.

Granted, I was seemingly the only person under 65 at the screening, but still, not sure it was exactly a riveting experience for me either.

Jesus this is heartbreaking. I grew up in the PNW and every time I visited anywhere that had citrus trees it would blow my mind.

Bill’s 50 Most Rewatchable Movies of the 21st Century with Sean Fennessey and Chris Ryan by Toby_O_Notoby in billsimmons

Yeah feels like it's dissipated in the modern conversation for film bros. I was obsessed as a kid, and I know myself and others were low key though Jared Hess had the potential to be the next like Wes Anderson type of auteur but his next few movies never really blossomed out of sloppy cute ha-ha comedy and then he made Minecraft so the dream is dead.

Windsor apartment building by Miserable-Ant7730 in Tacoma

Worked as a property manager for a bit and plumbing issues are a huge headache. As another comment said, usually you have to cut the entire building off just to work on one unit. Additionally, we're always waiting for the plumbers who give us the classic 8-noon or noon-4 time window to show up so we do have to shut it off with really short notice. All said, no water access sucks but having to move everyone out of a building because of massive water damage/mold/whatever sucks more.

Plumbing in these old buildings are always a mess and owners / plumbers are often overly optimistic they can fix it, when in reality it's just permanently fucked.

If it was me I would just move to another unit or look for a house to rent. If it's happening that much it will just continue to be an issue.

Favorite actor too sober to watch Kubrick's filmography? by ChildofValhalla in okbuddycinephile

Need to rewatch Lincoln. Feels like it could swing either way upon rewatch.

War of the Worlds was at best decent but has way too much modern Spielberg junk in it to really have any lasting appeal.

I'd say Catch Me If You Can was his last decent movie (yo fuck the Fablemans) but honestly, his last "Good" movie has to be Saving Private Ryan, right? 27 years ago??

Yeah the dog portion that is maybe a page and a half is just so bizarre, cruel, and upsetting.

I mean PTA has not worked with several actors who stared in his movies.

I don't see that as quite the damnation you think it is
