I probably wouldnt be so mad about AI if it, you know, actually worked and was AI. But instead it just feels like I'm Michael trying to get Eleanor Shellstrop's file.
Tech Company: I have a new AI program for you :)
Me: is it actually an AI program or does it generate random pixel colours based on the most likely pattern to occur?
TC: it is an actual AI program. It does not generate based on pixel patterns.
Me: is it an actual AI program, or is it just copying artwork stolen without consent based off of keywords someone has applied to those artworks?
TC: it does not steal artwork and use it to replicate images based off keywords. It is an AI program.
Me: now do you have *artificial intelligence* or are you holding an image generator that cant actually think or reason at all?
TC: i do not have an image generator. I have real AI capable of making real and genuinely unique new images like any living person.
Me: amazing, let me check it out.
TC: Here!
TC: *drops an image generator*
Me: ...
Me: thanks.
