@NickADobos What is the point of paying to recreate something that you can already buy?

[your kind friend @shamhamhowdy]

@usb_type_d @samkolder I’m alright Joe, but thank you for the suggestion!

Quit the shitty job that I hated and now I feel bad because I’m an empath

@broderick A lotta yall still don’t get it.

Ape holders can use multiple slurp juices on a single ape!

@crazyandbipolar AI startups received billions in private funding and are paying every person they can possibly find with a sizable platform to promote their “products”. Everything you see on social media is part of a well orchestrated ad campaign.

@pory_leeks The second you try to collect payment on something like this they will straight up kill you. Sure it’s fun and games right now, but you do not have the money to go lawyer for lawyer with Microsoft or Nintendo.

@CynicalMem15153 @SpecialPuppy1 @rowanfornow So what is the general use case for someone whose only interaction with the internet is work, social media and gaming?

[your kind friend @shamhamhowdy]

@CynicalMem15153 @SpecialPuppy1 @rowanfornow I think I didn’t give my point correctly, I’m saying that the average person was not willing to do any of that stuff prior to AI and likely won’t now. It’s really a niche type of hobby/passion.

[your kind friend @shamhamhowdy]

@CynicalMem15153 @SpecialPuppy1 @rowanfornow Like it’ll be useful for hobbyists but I don’t see it reaching >20% of the population unless there is a compelling general use case.

[your kind friend @shamhamhowdy]

@CynicalMem15153 @SpecialPuppy1 @rowanfornow I really don’t think those are really enticing for the average person. Modding and low budget film aren’t things that were impossible to do before AI and hardly anyone outside of niche communities did it. Why would uninterested people suddenly start now that it’s easier?

[your kind friend @shamhamhowdy]

@CynicalMem15153 @SpecialPuppy1 @rowanfornow Can you give an example? Which model do you use?

[your kind friend @shamhamhowdy]

@itsOmak_ There are probably tons of people who are 50% through a project who could actually use this stuff but imo most of them have been turned off due to the stigma against AI in a lot of creative communities and that is entirely the fault of how these companies marketed themselves.

[your kind friend @shamhamhowdy]

@itsOmak_ Because this is deep marketing, the goal is to convince people with ideas to give it a try in the hopes of getting someone to make something actually cool. Very few people actually pay for this stuff and generally they are just boosters and are uncreative.

[your kind friend @shamhamhowdy]

@AiArtFactory @pilft @SpecialPuppy1 @rowanfornow Honestly I wish we got a reset on this AI shit, if this was all slowly rolled out and digested into the economy over a decade we wouldn’t be having any of these arguments. I’m hoping that people get bored soon so the hype and dooming can fade off for a little bit.

@KeyTryer There are numerous photoshop clones, the value of photoshop is the interoperability of apps and the pipeline of students trained on it. Are you creating a new app and spending time training new hires how to use it?

[your kind friend @shamhamhowdy]

@pilft @SpecialPuppy1 @rowanfornow I think it’s not even that deep. The average office worker already meets their deadlines. This is a big reason why it took computers to catch on especially in the public sector. The benefit has to be IMMENSE for mass adoption.

[your kind friend @shamhamhowdy]

@SpecialPuppy1 @rowanfornow The distinction here is that if your business isn’t willing to pay for it, then why would you care enough to pay on your own unless you really want to go above and beyond? What would you use it for outside of work?

[your kind friend @shamhamhowdy]

@SpecialPuppy1 @rowanfornow But that would be an enterprise use case. My job pays for a Clause enterprise plan but I don’t use it at home. The only reason I have Geminipro is that I got an intro deal with google cloud shit and I doubt I’d pay significantly more than $20 for it.

[your kind friend @shamhamhowdy]

@SpecialPuppy1 @rowanfornow This isn’t a bad faith question, I honestly want to know because pro-AI people are always talking about the use cases, but most of those are for companies to better target consumers. What is the consumer use case?

[your kind friend @shamhamhowdy]

@SpecialPuppy1 @rowanfornow What can AI do that an average consumer could justify $20 a month for? Comparing that to say youtube, ($15.99/month) or Netflix (26.99/month). The pro services are >$200/month, what would someone who’s not an enthusiast do with it?
