    AI is going to be this eras Betamax, HD-Dvd, or 3d TV glasses. It doesn’t do what was promised and nobody gives a shit.

      Betamax had better image and sound, but was limited by running time and then VHS doubled down with even lower quality to increase how many hours would fit on a tape. VHS was simply more convenient without being that much lower quality for normal tape length.

      HD-DVD was comparable to BluRay and just happened to lose out because the industry won’t allow two similar technologies to exist at the same time.

      Neither failed to do what they promised. They were both perfectly fine technologies that lost in a competition that only allows a single winner.

      No, I’m sorry. It is very useful and isn’t going away. This threads is either full of Luddites or disingenuous people.

        nobody asked you to post in this thread. you came and posted this shit in here because the thread is very popular, because lots and lots of people correctly fucking hate generative AI

        so I guess please enjoy being the only “non-disingenuous” bootlicker you know outside of work, where everyone’s required (under implicit threat to their livelihood) to love this shitty fucking technology

        but most of all: don’t fucking come back, none of us Luddites need your mid ass
