Wank.
This tech is interesting, and pretending anyone promised you perfection is fucking dumb.
The tech is certainly "interesting". I've started giving up on trying to predict which of the obvious behaviors you'd expect form a text or image generator is presented as either the second coming of Google or the end of humanity now.
It's been a while since these have become either interesting testable things or full-on products and people are still doing the thing where clumsy prompt injection to counteract bias is a major political drama and some weight files getting corrupted on a server is a dystopian robot having brain damage and both of those signal that "AI magic" is cracking.
The scary part is the actually new and unexpected events, like that one scam where they actually used real time digi doubles to do phishing on some poor guy over Zoom, get washed out in all the random panic about basic dumbassery and rush-to-market silliness. The fearmongers are making the snake oil sellers' job easier in places.
I'm going to sleep, wake me up in a couple of decades when we're all hitting the "hey, maybe we didn't get how this worked" Facebook moment.
