    Coverage of machine learning related stuff has obliterated the last shred of faith I had in mainstream media. Journalists even worth their weight in dirt would have ideally demystified these technologies. Instead what we get is people who talk about AI like medieval peasants.

      don’t get me started on it. The most apparent sign of how successfully and thoroughly capitalism has dismantled and destroyed the western cultural heritage is exactly this: people act excited at the prospect of automating art and creative writing instead of horrified and worried about what that could entail for the creative area of human cultural development.

      Yeah, AI can make cool images, if you are fine with those images having no style whatsoever and no real drive other than being purely descriptive.
