Coke has created a new ad using Stable Diffusion. It’s quite remarkable.
Dave Winer offers some interesting thoughts on AI. He has been on a roll lately with his writing on both AI and social media/blogging implementations.
From Ryan Broderick, writing at Garbage Day:
The way I see it, the jaw-dropping speed of generative AI’s embrace is essentially a large-scale acknowledgement that modern life is sort of miserable and that most people don’t actually care if anything works anymore. Which is, honestly, fair. Our lives are full of tasks that no one wants to do that offer little reward for doing them well. The systems we live, work, and create inside of are simply too large to comprehend or really care about.
Broderick was writing about his experience using ChatGPT to create a meal plan and place an online grocery order. The whole thing sounds depressing.
