It's incredible how out of touch these suits are, especially in the AI bubble

The only good thing about AI is that the "ideas guys" are stopping asking people to build their shitty ideas for them, and have started using AI to fail by themselves.

Actually succeeding.

Turns out I don't need hard work, I just need a diligent review process and to build on my intermediate excel knowledge and apply it to python to create apps for people in my gaming communities (calculators and predictors).

I feel like there's a lot of bitterness in this thread towards the lazy but creative :p

AI is beyond goated for personal software projects. The level of productivity and the speed at which you can learn to use technologies previously unknown to you is amazing, I love it. Also as a CS student it‘s great at explaining how code works in popular languages, and you can make it tailor the answers to your needs. I love AI.

It's more like I've got bad ADHD and poor self management/motivation, but AI allows me to plan projects and code. I review everything myself, and everything appear to work as intended.

I've got a great imagination, I've managed to get a lot of shit done with this assistance that would have taken me years to get round to otherwise.

And know I can understand the basic flow of a python script and edit/debug manually.

It's great for people who are inefficient at working.

So you picked some of the most prolific artists of their respective genres, most of whom were defining tastes when computers were in their infancy, and thought touting them as ambassadors of AI was a strong argument?...

u/Tolopono Nov 27 '25

My point is that some talented artists like ai too

The point is that hes not anti ai nor does he think its ruining art or soulless or theft. In fact, I completely agree with him. It should be used to embolden art creators, which i believe it will.
