As a data scientist, no, I think that’s a dumb take. Without bothering to debate the definition of “AI”,
One is a synthesis of general knowledge that can be used to generate new ideas.
The other is a multi arm bandit and some collaborative filtering. Maybe there’s some AI there to classify what things are to begin with, but the decision of what to show is a very different kind of thing.
- zzzeek 3y agoI don't want to use the term "dumb" for your take since I don't really address people that way but it does not matter if threads shows me ten AI landscapes or 100, the point is that once images displaying what would take a human dozens of hours of technical skill to produce are easily churned out by the thousands each hour, the entire value of such art for human enjoyment drops to zero as it's no longer special or interesting.
- jncfhnb 3y agoThen don’t look at a hundred landscapes. You made an argument that threads was showing people a hundred landscapes and that this decision was also ai ergo it’s an AI problem. It might take humans a dozen hours to make a landscape but there are still thousands of human drawn landscapes and you’ll grow equally bored looking at all of those, no AI required.
