Comment on Need a keyboard with a dedicated "slop" button

There definitely is a very real “AI derangement syndrome” kinda thing going around among some. It’s like…we can be opposed to the use of AI to take away people’s jobs while simultaneously dumbing down culture, without throwing out the ways it can actually be used by workers to improve their work output or the experience for them of doing the work. I’m not familiar with Kdenlive, but it sounds similar to Photoshop’s generative fill, and that’s a fantastic feature. Using AI to do a better version of what content-aware fill has done for over a decade. People who are opposed even to these uses need to pull their heads in, because they make it much harder to effectively oppose the real problems with AI.

content-aware fill was even started as a fucking GIMP plugin of all things

Your comment makes sense IMO.

To make an enormous simplification, it’s like those who screamed “rape!” because someone had looked (in a wrong way) at them. It removes the credibility of real rape.

Sorry, it’s early and I couldn’t find a nicer analogy, I posted it anyways because it’s an important distinction IMO, “AI” isn’t burning the planet or taking your jobs, some saves your grandma from cancer, LLM and image generators does.

Also, and this is only what I think, Art is also used in this way, some person drawing a panda for some company is now an Artist. I mean maybe they are but that panda can be made by a image generator (if it can be done cheaply) and free up their creative potential to do other things.

And also, it’s not like someone has a plan how to make things better, it’s just “forbid it” (good luck with that) or being angry online.

The world is black and white for many people.

    Crying Wolf is making something up though so not exactly the same.
