    I’d like to preface that I like AI content for my own amusement and sometimes for convenience. I think it’s neither the best nor the worst thing to ever happen to the world like so many lemmy users seem to.

    Current state, most AI generated content (images, video, even text) have some general tells. For text, they tend to lean on certain phrases and formatting. Picture and video both still contain noticeable artifacts that give it away, though that is becoming less prevalent over time. They’re a lot more noticeable when you use the tools yourself and trying to overcome the patterns is difficult without manually intervening.

    I think you have to ask yourself what degree of human involvement is the cutoff for you. Is it only 100% non generated content? Even prior to the sudden llm push, that would be really difficult to find. A lot of software, photoshop and predictive text for example, have used machine learning to improve their algorithms for years. It’s not likely you’ll find anything unassisted anymore. What degree of human made modifications AFTER something is generated is enough to consider it good enough? If I start with a generated image but significantly modify it with an image editor to fix issues and finalize the ‘vision’, is that enough?

    I personally think you’ll have to create your own compass. Bad content is bad regardless of how it’s made. If you cannot tell the difference if a human made it or a machine, does it really matter?

    I read a lot of fan translated content and I always appreciate the translation of “the child of a frog is a frog” (translator note: idiom similar to “the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree”)

    I find you get to learn an approximate translation of an idiom and get the intent of the phrase at the same time.















  • Gimmick features in general. So many android phones are just designed to be android flavors of an iPhone, removing all the character that used to be one of the benefits of not going with Apple.

    I had a phone that had a built in kickstand. It was both useful for propping the phone up and as a fidget toy. My last phone had a camera that would pop up out of the top of the phone so they could put a better camera for the selfie cam while also not having a hole in the screen.


  • Barring terrible company policy, those people who can’t do more than allow the AI to think for them will find themselves out of a job pretty quickly if they can’t do the work themselves.

    Bad employees and stupid people will always be stupid, the newest tech isn’t the cause of that. Maybe it lowers the bar of entry a bit?

    Lastly, you’re clearly gatekeeping “the ability to critically think” based on some arbitrary conditions you made up based on “how things used to be”, so to speak. Maybe you could have used your superior boomer wisdom to figure that one out.

    This is some boomer-tier gatekeeping and just another “back in my day, things were better because…”

    The people who aren’t problem solving beyond typing something into a chat bot are the same people who wouldn’t have done so before the chat bot existed.

    You can absolutely find similar complaints about the internet being invented, or search engines, or any other technological expansion in the past entire human history.
