A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

This is one area where I am vehemently in support of IP protection for all the writers and artists' works being used. Unfortunately, unlike when it comes to suing individuals who copy something, the wholesale theft of generations of art and writing by AI companies is just being let slide.

I was traveling this week, and saw a couple very obviously AI-generated billboards for the city's downtown. Something about downtown eats or something. They were, and I'm being extremely nice here, absolutely hideous. I have never, in all my life, seen such ugly billboards. And, while they were different, they were basically the same thing (does that make sense? Them being different, but the same? Not really sure how else to describe it). I was actually looking for a place to eat, and those things deterred me from going downtown. Ended up finding this cute little coffeeshop in some random side road. No food, but holy crap the coffee and crepes were good!

Precisely what designers do - they make the visuals Pleasing. Doesn't mater if it's for goat sacrifice service or granny's muffin shop.

It is a skill that can barely be learned by a person. Often very good designers have 'talent' or 'good eye'.

Even though art is subjective, you can still pretty much rank designers.

I mean.... they do have protein, fruits, and such, so, yes. But I was craving some pasta. I guess a crepe is like a sweet pasta. I did feel the craving vanish... ...
