alt Hacker NewsYeah I mean people are talking about 'the eternal Sloptember' but the other side of that is - you know how everyone is nostalgic for 90s/early 2000s websites and all the silliness and creativity? Well that is happening now in programs and apps. Any fool can make a terribly-architected game/app to scratch his itch. Most of them are bad, and most won't last, but there's also a lot of fun.
Nobody criticizes people making AI slop for their own amusement. Nobody said anything for DALL-E generated random stuff. Similarly nobody cared about people's GeoCities pages.
People care about when AI is forced in production workloads with very little care. Those productions could be the government, insurance and healthcare systems. Getting prosecuted or denied for treatment by a black box is what makes them angry. People care when their bosses brag about and threaten them with layoffs.
