Slop. The illustrations are bad, the article is way too long, and none of it has a clear point.

Slop. The illustrations are bad, the article is way too long, and none of it has a clear point.
- outofpaper 7mo agoIt's sucrose to being a good sweet article. Really though it should be used as a draft for something that wasn't just vibed. Eg fix the mice and loose the sparks from cutting wood.
- oneeyedpigeon 7mo agoTbf, the author declares this right at the beginning: > (I made all the comics in this article with Nano Banana Pro.) I don't see any strong evidence for the article being AI-written, however. Given the author, I would be very disappointed if it were.
- SV_BubbleTime 7mo ago> (I made all the comics in this article with Nano Banana Pro.) At least he says it I guess. But it was clearly slop pictures from the first one. I already knew before I read it. Blogs everywhere are now going hard on this. It is not endearing.
- mossTechnician 7mo agoI've seen footage of the Mother Of All Demos, and plenty of material depicting a real Xerox Alto exists online. It's too bad none of that material made it into the article, but AI-generated facsimiles did. AI images in general are a red flag in articles, but these ones additionally push me to go elsewhere for information.
- Dwedit 7mo agoThe worst thing is that it is possible to correct areas of an AI generated image that are bad or inconsistent. That wasn't even done at all. Examples of bad areas include the Menu Bar superhero (garbled text), and the keyboards (some nonsense numpads).
- mcbits 7mo agoI think the garbled menu accidentally perfectly illustrates what most menus look like within the brain as it tries to sift through poorly organized heaps of obscure words to find the one word that's actually needed in the moment.
