They just miss the point, don't they?

This is why the aitechbrodude will never understand opposition to AI. They don't understand anything of substance.

Same thing with whatshisface that runs Microsoft.
There was an article recently about how he "enjoys podcasts"... by feeding the transcript of the podcast into the AI, letting it summarise it, and having a conversation with the AI about the podcast on his commute to work.
Comically missing the point that a podcast is a performative medium; the presenter(s) telling you the story is a part of the artform, which you've just lost. Turn off tech-bro brain, just for a minute, and actually engage in the product as it was intended.
It just boggles the mind, do they really think they've stumbled on some sort of secret the rest of us have been sleeping on?
I remember studying a Broadway play for drama class in middle school, and the original plan was to go watch it alongside our studying of it. However, 9/11 had just happened, and the idea of going to New York City at that time scared enough parents that the fieldtrip was cancelled.
The teacher lamented that we weren't going to get the full, proper experience of the play without seeing it performed live. Even reading it in a classroom was considered a low bar.
And now, here we are, expecting AI to summarize a script, a script which already fails to capture everything the play would've provided.
We're making copies of copies, and nobody's refilling the toner.
I think thats the whole thing people love about AI, it was the same with the expensive pictures. Tech lads thinking they were early with the secret sauce no one had found. The boys just wanna feel like they are the smart ones for once.
Expensive pictures?
Probably NFTs
Ah. Right. I forgot those were a thing once.
Apologies, I couldn't think of the word but yes, NFTs.
