| I'm still struggling to see how you would need thousands of AI generated images rather than just using existing real images for education. |

| ▲ | abossy 13 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | The company I work for generates thousands of these each week for children's personalized storybooks to help them learn how to read. The story text is the core part of the application, but the personalized images are what make them engaging. | |

| ▲ | indeyets 18 hours ago | parent [-] | | But LLMs are not reliable enough, so you can not actually expect “specificity” | | |

| ▲ | marviel 18 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | Not perfect now, but adequate in some domains. Will only get better. | | |

| ▲ | concats 6 hours ago | parent [-] | | While I have no doubt that individual companies, such as OpenAI for example, will eventually introduce enshittification features, I doubt the industry as a whole can be summarized that easily. I believe, over all, development will go forward and things will get better. A rising tide lifts all ships, even if some of them decide to be shitty leaking vessels. If nothing else we always have open source software to fall back on when the enshittification of the proprietary models start. For a practical example: The cars we drive today are a lot better than 100 years ago. A bad future isn't always inevitable. | | |

| That is true in a broader sense, but education and abundant money don't generally go hand in hand. |
