For me it's detailed describtions about people's dreams.
Not only doesn't your story make any sense, but you're also telling me about something that didn't even happen. It's kind of like telling about an event, and then ending the story by saying you just made it all up, except with dreams you begin by telling it's all made up. I'm already not interested before you even started.

"Artificial Intelligence". The marketing has overtaken reality and common sense. Until the datasets are re-evaluated with information given with consent, I refuse to consider this snake oil anything more than a fad.
I was in the grocery store the other day and saw a fridge pack of Coca-Cola that said "taste the new futuristic flavor that was created with the help of AI!" 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
It will shock absolutely no one that the flavour tastes like shit.
I'm still wondering at what point of the process they used a generative model to compose the flavour. Just seems like marketing to me.
Its ONE THOUSAND PERCENT bullshit marketing. It's like "Pink Washing" everything during Breast Cancer Awareness month.
Either Pepsi or Coke put out a new ultimate flavor. The only difference I could see from reading the label is that it has about 30% more sugar in it than regular Coke/Pepsi.
I would have thought they of all people would have learned about line extension and how great New Coke turned out for them
As a person who loves talking about AI I'd like to note that by AI "we" usually mean AGI (artificial general intelligence) and not generative AI like chatGPT or midjourney.
I love Sci-Fi. One of my favourite authors is Philip K. Dick and I've written stories about AI.
I cannot grant the concession that the likes of ChatGPT and Midjourney qualify for the moniker of AI. It would require lowering my standard for what I constitute to be intelligence, such as having a basic degree of awareness. ChatGPT for example will contradict itself and hallucinate information (not new information, just irrelevant and incorrect information) and can do so in the same response. This is not intelligence, this is the mere imitation of intelligence and that is not sufficient.
The AI that fascinates me is just an idea. No such thing, or really even anything close to it exists. Atleast not yet. It's more of a thought experiment and a philosophical dilemma. That however doesn't make me any less worried of it. This technology keeps making big leaps forward.
ChatGPT for example will contradict itself and hallucinate information
So do humans. I agree though. At best GPT4 only shows *signs of *intelligence. Still nothing close to AGI. Can't deny it's not impressive though.
When it comes to contradictions and hallucinations, sometimes people will put out contradictory information or act hypocritical, the difference is intention. ChatGPT can't help but make contradictions and hallucinations because it has no awareness of what information it's putting forth. It will very convincingly present incorrect information and not know that's what it's done.
It is impressive. Except it's being touted as more impressive than it actually is and that's what annoys me. The complete lack of critically evaluating these models and then giving into survivorship bias.
That's all aside from the privacy and copyright concerns.
