Anyone feels Generative AI fatigue already

Not so much fatigue as extreme anxiety. I keep trying to think of ways for creative professionals to use it as a tool, but of course the rewards that will go to creators (tiny compared to the rewards going to suits and engineers) will all go to the taylor swifts who already have a brand and can hoover up all the remaining value. Even then, the community that consumes the content seems to toxic that it will make the life of the creator who tries to make a living a living hell.

I think we all are about to feel Generative AI fatigue. When our feeds & ads are flooded w/ content that, on the surface, appears to have high-quality visual elements plus well-crafted prose, it'll take us that much longer to realize that some bot/troll/scammer used generative AI to give their content the gloss of quality.

To borrow a concept from cryptography, before now quality art and prose was "proof of work", that is, a signifier that a human or corporation took the time or invested in production of quality. Examples: A well-written, fact-filled article just sounds authoritative & you trust it more. A beautiful, polished book/movie/album cover suggests production-values someone invested because they believed in the product's market value.

Now, if you see quality product art or article copy you'll have to hesitate and maybe do an extra level of vetting to determine if you're looking at something actually good or something whipped up in 10 minutes to just _look_ good, maybe for nefarious reasons.

Nope, I love it. I feel like I've been waiting all my adult-life for this kind of tech.

Been working with generative AI for 3 years. I think the fatigue is less about the AI, but people's responses to it.

A part of is the sheer laziness. People ask AI the kind of dumb questions that would get them downvoted to hell on Stack Overflow. Or they post 50 generative images from AI on a topic instead of filtering for one good one.

These days people are all, "write me a poem about a cat" and then claim that the result is soulless. Yes, it's soulless because you're not putting any of your soul into it, expecting AI to cover for you.

There is incredibly good stuff coming out of AI. Some artists manage to mix it together with a lot of editing to produce something impressive and new. Some people use it to tell stories, similar to a comic would and not just some lazy "60s avengers cosplay in claymation"

Nope. I limit my time reading internet conversations. Go find something else to do?

Absolutely...between this and Twitter, I think I'm going to put the old classic Xmas movie on repeat and go enjoy nature with the family.

I honestly find it to be really boring. The generated code/stories etc. are either trivially simple or just bland/boring. Wake me up when an AI produce something truly wow.

Having said that, I am really impressed with some of the art generated by AI’s. The rest? Not so much.

Not at all. I love being able to solve more problems. It's a great boon for humanity. Brings us all closer to a much brighter future.

Can't wait to see it improve over time.

I felt some fatigue from all the mistakes it did, which I noticed after paying fairly closer attention to it's responses lately.

I think they are neat and will eventually be just as commonplace as using the voice assistant in a box to turn on your lights.

Once the honeymoon period wears off people will start complaining about it

Anyone else feeling sleepy? Lets all go take a nap
