A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

People get manipulated to a point where they think they buy quality but actually buy shit.

I don't think so. Most people I've seen are pretty aware whether they buy some domestic quality product that'll last, or a cheap chinesium one. I've also seen people replace human logos, texts with AI, and they previously would have commissioned that to a human. It's not like they confuse the AI with a human. It's just that it's so convenient. And they don't really need it to be perfect or art or anything. It'll do for instagram and people aren't really paying attention in other areas, so it's good enough...

I think people get manipulated into thinking they need a lot of stuff, everything needs to fit into the attention economy and they loose track of the bigger picture. So the entire quality vs quantity is shifted. But I think a decent chunk of people is still aware of what quality would look like.
