It's weird that high tech CEOs didn't learn the most valuable lesson from the Metaverse: people are not stupid. If they don't like something, selling it to them harder is not going to make them like it more. It's simply not solving their life's problems.
AI behaves much the same way. It's not that it's useless, it's that faced with the actual cost, its usefulness shrinks to almost nothing. People dislike AI because they know better, not because they are too stupid to see.
This article was written by ai and used an ai image.
This article was written by award-winning verifiably-human journalist James Ball.
The image is credited to Benny Douet, a human professional illustrator with a legit body of work which stylistically matches said image.
By all means call out slop when it appears, but this isn't it.
