I already knew about it

FXes too!

You can also try "-AI" and it ...sometimes helps.

"Macro King" was accepted and is now my company name.

Hilariously, of my 3 choices, "MACRO KING" was the only one to MAYBE get accepted.

Let us hope so.

(6, final) ... I don't know when it'll be invented, but I'd not be surprised if it's within my lifetime. And here's the most relevant and interesting channel all about the alignment problem and its very real human extinction risk - and yes, it really is that bad: www.youtube.com/@RobertMiles...

(5) will actually be able to come up with new things, make decisions, edit videos in anyone's style in a tiny fraction of the time, learn the way humans do, etc. It is the real thing to be afraid of, for which we surely would need a basic income guarantee as most human labor becomes uncompetitive

(4/?) it far less. Again, there are exceptions like the generative fill stuff, which alone has saved me many hours. But I only think these tools will ever have value if used to supplement creativity, not replace it... which is what's happening...
Artificial GENERAL intelligence, on the other hand,

(3/?) ..better and easier to use, the skill floor lowered to almost nothing, allowing grifters of all kinds to use these tools and flood just about every market with slop that only looks good upon first impression. In general now, if I see that any part of something has been made with AI, I trust

(2/?) and AI-based upscaling, tho i have yet to find a really good one. (Gigapixel AI sucked every time I've tried it)
But it turns out all "AI" can really do is INTERPOLATE between existing ideas in its (usually stolen) database. It can't come up with anything new. Furthermore, as the tech gets...

Just to make a record, here are my current thoughts on generative AI:
I was initially really excited about it, seeing it as labor-saving for existing creatives. And those use cases are still great, like generative fill in Photoshop. (and the object selection tool, but it still kinda sucks...) (1/2)
