Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

My experience of using AI: Creating something from the bottom of my heart and putting in hours of fighting against its default weights to get it barely presentable, then spending even more time to fix all the imperfections to the point I may as well have just done it myself, only to have everyone I show it to freak out at me for using AI and assume that I'm falling to the technocapitalist dork side. Like I was bored and wanted to fuck around with the latest thing, i'm not going to all of a sudden start firing my whole staff or shilling for cryptocurrency. I don't even see it as a tool, it's a toy, and not a very good one at that. Maybe good for a novelty but it wears off extremely fast.
I tried very hard to use co-pilot for a quick logo creation task. CLL Consulting is a fake company name. I put in quotes like Microsoft suggested, but my output was not as smooth as the Microsoft TV commercial.
(on edit - when you hit the buttons on screen for "change the style of this logo to ___" like watercolor or whatever, it spells it in new and different ways)
finally my new job title has arrived
job tittle
BRB, registering my new company, Clit Conslutting, Inc.
the purpose of AI image generation is to make dumb pictures for Twitter until the novelty wore off
The point being i'm not going to be using it again.
