This is interesting, but that's because you started with an interesting question, and probably also because you know how to code.
The problem with AI blogspam (and AI image spam) and is that most of it is not even interesting to begin with: the desired result and the prompts are already terrible, so even if it was custom drawn or written by a professional, it would be crap. With AI, because of the lower barrier to entry, people don't care about spending a few cents building garbage. This is why I doubt more quality AI will help. :/
- ksaj 2y agoSpam (and porn) industries are highly opportunistic, in that they exploit every new technology, often before more productive uses are found for them. Unfortunately this is just one of many that gets treated the same way. The professionals using AI (and even then, a minority of them) actually spend the time to ensure they're getting quality results. Even AI requires some massaging to get what you actually want. It's a tool. Not a miracle. A carpenter doesn't just bang a nail once and expect things to hold together. I'm not a particularly good coder. I'm just interested in the oddities that can be shown through code, and am just (barely) savvy enough to see it through. I only had a vague idea how you could get pi from a string of 5's, but it wasn't very hard to get ChatGPT to code it for me once I described it. The same can be done with a randomish length string of 9's, but I'll leave that for others to discover.

- AnimalMuppet 2y agoThis. Let an AI read it; I won't bother.
