“The loudest voices preaching about taste and AI are often the ones who never demonstrated taste before AI.”
Yes, and if even these people can tell that AI generated stuff is godawful and tasteless, that tells you everything you need to know about AI.
- AnimalMuppet 1y agoAI stuff is tasteless in a different sense: It's like food that has no flavor. It "lacks salt" in some non-literal sense. And I think that is not all that surprising, because much of what it was trained on was corporate-speak, which has the same problem.
- Fricken 1y agoI would argue the opposite, most of the AI slop I see is gaudy and overwrought, the result of too much flavour carelessly applied.
- paulpauper 1y agoairplane meme: that is only what you notice
- edu 1y agoI agree. To me it feels like food with too many additives, like fast food.
- paulpauper 1y agoOTOH I read the success rate is only 50-50 at detecting it. AI text does leave some clues, like those infamous em dashes, but those can be patched with some simple edits. AI images are more obvious because many are intentionally overwrought.
- Aerroon 1y agoIt depends on what the AI is trying to do. If you write a novel and ask the AI to improve the prose it becomes very obvious if you've dealt with AI prose before.
- bgwalter 1y agoThe quoted part is really amazing. The author of the article just makes claims and clearly hasn't been exposed to any real art or music education. I suppose to some extent he means taste in programming, but anyone who is writing such an article does not have that either. We can also talk about taste in articles, which seems to have degenerated to "any pro-AI article will be voted up and defended".
- raincole 1y agoI'm not sure if this counts as a pro-AI article, but I agree. It's void of substance. The most ironic part: > When someone preaches about AI taste, ask them to show you their work from before AI. If they can’t demonstrate taste in their pre-AI work, they’re not qualified to lecture you about it now. Talking about the lack of self-awareness...

- FossQuestion 1y agoDoes it include the author of the blog post? Also your comment is also doing it... Or is it only bad when "AI people" do it?
- serf 1y ago'detect AI' is such a stupid goalpost given the different caliber of output one individual may have from another when coding with an LLM. do these people detect all AI? Of course not, they detect crap.
