"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
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.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
Rules:
- Relevant posts only.
- No bigotry.
- This isn't a place to talk about the cons and (supposed) pros of AI for different use cases. This is /c/fuck_ai .
- Especially no AI advocacy.
- Don't make any posts that are just AI content with no context unless the point of your post is obvious from content. (Don't just post slop advertisements or slop political cartoons. At least make your point about it clear so we know you aren't just trolling.)
- Venting is part of the purpose of this community, but don't aim frustration or accusations at other users.
- These rules are a living document that may change in the future.

what is going on with those capital E's.
I tried my best at making ai slop manually... back to the prompting board I guess.
Nah it's awesome!!!
Weird background: I like to study handwriting. I was literally trying to figure out the process 🤣
Start bottom left. Straight line up, then right. Move to the left most part of the next straight line without lifting pen
Jup that's it, and while it feels natural to me, almost everyone has to do a double take. Not always fun :/
Embrace your oddity! Dare to be unique! It's the greatest advantage we have over GenAI right now.
It's the starting at the bottom part that confused me more, I can't make that feel natural.
ooh as like a hobby? what're the cool things u discover? I love handwriting, even tho I don't make the most legible print >m< but most of what I write is for my own eyes so as long as I can understand it idgaf
I helped out with an art project once photographing a very old "illuminated manuscript" book so that it could be restored digitally. Literally pouring over thousand year old handwriting to fill in the time-destroyed gaps where letters used to be. It was neat and it permanently altered my brain to be forever interested in interesting handwriting 😅
Tsk look at this tryhard over here using his brain to do actually cool and interesting things instead of just feeding invaluable manuscripts into the book-eating machine /s
Is it ironic that it was because they needed someone good at Photoshop?
I remember the old days when Photoshop required a good deal of professional expertise (way beyond my comprehension) to make something good with it. My mom would diligently magic around with the various colour corrections, that pixel-copying tool to manually and painstakingly excise power lines from beautiful landscape shots and turn a slightly overexposed silhouette against a sunset into a forest line through the precise and careful applications of spells I can only now begin to guess at after a few tentative steps in learning GIMP.
Today, I imagine it would be a prompt or three to a machine creating a decent, but not exceptional imitation of that work - good enough for professional work where excellence is secondary to efficiency, but hardly interesting for anyone with even a passing interest in photography.
What I'm trying to say is that being good at Photoshop may well point to a keen eye for details and affinity for diligent work.
Very cool, I've had a very similar experience! PS - please take as constructive criticism that it is to pore over, not pour over.
Looks like it came out of some forgotten typeset.
Can I self host the brick?
Only if you properly sandbox it. Dare I say, cement it even. Otherwise it'll brick your device.
I really want to crosspost this to c/fuckcars
Go right ahead! Spread the word of the brick!
