Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

I find absolutely consistently that gen-AI advocates are literally unable to tell good output from bad output. They think people who say their output is garbage are just lying to have a go at them. (x.com)

When it comes to robocontent, I ironically react like a robot from westworld. I look at it, but it doesn't look like anything to me. It has no meaning. It's just noise, a page of static.

I suspect robocontent fetishists look at all art as static. They don't understand that there is intention behind art. They are fundamentally incompatible with human experience. They are disconnected and insensitive to the creative world, and that's just sad.

They don’t understand that there is intention behind art

I have had a conversation with someone about visual arts about something quite close to this: they just didn't grok any parts of it at all, couldn't engage with it a priori. on being given some context about each of the thing they managed to find it interesting, but prior to that they would have just walked right past it barely even registering its existence

(at least in this case the person was aware of their non-engagement, whereas I think a lot of the autoplag appreciators just ..... aren't)
