More People Are Freaked Out by AI Than Excited About It

Authenticity, proving authenticity, will be a big deal in future.<p>On another topic, when desktop publishing first came along in the 80s, everyone had a go at it…. anyone with access to a computer threw together documents full of fonts and fancy layout. They looked like crap.<p>Remember Print Shop Pro?<p>In time it became clear that DTP is a tool for expert designers. Same with AI art … everyone is getting fancy pictures done but in time they’ll lose interest and these tools will become tools for designers to drive.

I&#x27;m excited, cuz I might make a friend.

Rightfully so, considering how many jobs will be replaced by AI in the upcoming years.

The framing is kind of weird - AI isn&#x27;t a specific technology to begin with, so someone can&#x27;t really correctly or incorrectly &quot;discern six ways that artificial intelligence (AI) is used around you every day&quot;.

If you thought the Internet was full of garbage in 2023 just wait a few years.

The greatest technological breakthrough we&#x27;ve seen in our lifetimes, it can make our lives so much better. And people can only see potential downsides, it&#x27;s sad.

People are always scared of competition.

I don&#x27;t know why folks are so freaked out about it. Yes, some of these programs can act somewhat like a person in text but often their output is just garbage. Heck, even AI focused on image generation gets hands wrong much as human artists do (sometimes even worse). It&#x27;s strange to see folks being freaked out or otherwise surprised by computers. Maybe I&#x27;m just too old to care or understand the response.
