Hey folks, you don't have to share AI trash on here to convince me it's bad. Feel free to just not share whatever AI slop is annoying you. You'll make the world a better place by reducing the spread of this particular contagion.

This is one of the most important issues in "AI" discourse. We're lumping together all sorts of things that are categorically different and should be treated in totally different ways.
This is going to be an interesting development in the next couple of years.
For reasons of marketing, practically everything that was called deep learning, machine learning, algorithmic, etc is now AI. Which, fine, marketing.
But there are meaningful differences between genAI and other stuff.

No correct aspect ratio upload to be found on YouTube, and I could be more rigorous about my editing, but I genuinely think this is some of the funniest 106 seconds in comedy history, and definitely in my top five Simpsons jokes.
