But that wouldn't change anything at all!
Replace them with a chicken. Then at least I could have some fried chicken.
When will we replace influencers with AI? Seems to generate equal amounts of slop.
That's exactly what Google is trying to do on YT with Veo 3 and the 'AI slop' button.
I still wonder to this day if this thing (Neuro-sama) isnt just a really elaborate mechanical turk setup.
No, it's just some custom LLM coupled with some ML models. Thanks to the people that like talking to LLMs just in the form of a loli VTuber, this became an automatic money making machine.
I know you're just making a snide remark, but we're already well on that track too.
hmmm....I think I just got my first million dollar idea.
thanks!
I remember there's a few that made some news months ago. but that's all I recall tho
I'm not even convinced that an "AI tutor" is better than nothing.
Probably better than sitting in a room staring at a blank wall. But, is it even as good as playing with lego? Playing tag with friends? Drawing with crayons? Taking a pet for a walk?
No way rich people are using this shit on their own kids.
No, their Kids Will get private teacher. It's just the slaves that get the ai.
And the slaves will do all the work. And spending. No earning only spending.
And when it inevitably fails, all hell have done is ruin the loves of countless children
So of course we're not going to stop him
I hate this timeline
First, replace the influencers with AI. Then shut down the AI. Do us all two favors.
A tech backed moron, FTFY.
What if he just want some of the sweet, sweet VC money but realizes this will never actually happen?
She*, as it says in the article
Just to be clear: this is about the USA.
Austin, Texas–based influencer and entrepreneur shares of students at her dozen or so K-12 schools, a ten-year-old boasts that he is a successful Airbnb manager, while another constructs a miniature Cybertruck.
I mean yeah. What other country is this batshit crazy about privatizing everything while preaching neoliberalism?
Hey that's just Brian. Easy mistake to make.
B is for Buy n Large (and billionaire) your very best friend.
Translation: how can I get in on this "pulling up the ladder after me" stuff that the educated rich people do?
What could possibly go wrong?
