The litmus test is this: do you enjoy consuming AI-generated stuff?

I don’t. Whether it’s written text, or video, audio, restaurant menus, clothing pictures, documentation, airport control, ads…

I do think there’s value in LLMs but as a sort of better search engines and q/a machines.

> do you enjoy consuming AI-generated stuff?

you might be in the minority, because a lot of people don't care for low quality, as long as it "works". The same effect happened with consumer appliances/products, software and fast foods.

There's a minimum standard/threshold that must be met, but sooner or later, the AI generating these output can meet them (even if it doesnt right now). Therefore, at some point in the future, ai output will dominate man made ones, whether you want to or not. You will still have a chance at purchasing manually created product/service, just like you could today with handcrafted goods (at exorbitant prices compared to the cheap manufactured goods available).

You enjoy good AI all the time you just don’t know it.

Nobody enjoys bad 1-shot AI.

Reminds me of CGI in movies. People who hate CGI really only hate bad CGI.

		This has been a thought-terminating cliché for years, but actually the conversation around this has been incredibly consistent despite attempts to dismiss it. People still call back to the days of practical effects as more visceral and more convincing because they were. CGI can be great, but it's so often an excuse to cut corners, and people recognise that.

Nobody likes having their time routinely wasted by lazy copy/pasting of ChatGPT outputs, which is what too many people do.

I consider AI generated stuff as a raw material , never as a product ready to be consumed by any public clients

To be fair. I hate slop as much as any other person. But for me the issue is poor quality rather than just the fact that it's ai.

I love good ai stuff even if it's obvious it's ai

		The problem becomes how to sift through it all to see what is and isn’t good. It was already hard enough with human generated crap to avoid wasting time on the pseudoscience, fabricated data, clickbait/ragebait, and product placement.
