Small town white Canadians haha. I don’t really know why but apparently they don’t like using dishwashers and just prefer to have the extra storage space

My in laws went the alternative route and made their dishwasher a storage cabinet!

What a weird damn country

It’s a tool; it can be used well by skilled people to create a good output

Of course that’s true for things like programming if used only as a chat-based responsive rubber duck to help debug or investigate potential architecture. People using it to spit out entire projects is terrible though and it’s destroying the open source ecosystem by making it difficult to find projects that aren’t jank and likely to be immediately abandoned

But in regards to generating any sort of art media, there is no good output or skilled creators because there’s no skill or effort put into it. You’re not skilled because you put a prompt into a chat bot in the same way you’re not a skilled chef for putting in an order at McDonalds.

I get it though, the state of everything right now really really sucks. When I enjoy content that I later find to be AI generated, I feel like I’ve been deceived or manipulated and it has me doubting the authenticity of pretty much everything to avoid feeling that way.

I don’t know what the solution would be to it at this point either

Liberals need to buy guns, obviously for self-protection.

Why do you assume we live in the USA?
