Listening to another pitch about how AI can empower workers at various jobs across my industry, I was striken by the comparison in the title
3d printing, just like generative models, have it’s actual niche uses, where it’s obvious downsides are irrelevant and they come handy, e.g. prototyping, replacements, small-series production
Where it comes to the top-down AI promotion trend, it feels not unlike the idea of printing the whole product - a car, or a house, from the smallest details - applying the least effective method, doomed to have a worse than average outcome due to technological limitations
And screws, the thing that we nailed down long before, and that is completely incompatible with that mode of production, is a screaming, growling, shrieking example of how helpful tech can be mispurposed in the most stupid way
I connect AI with “taking the notes of a classmate with an unhealthy crush on you in a test” and that in case of AI bros the addition “and a growing dependence on those notes”
“notes of a classmate” are not meant in the reliable way because there is a good chance the classmate is stupid
with “unhealthy crush on you” i mean that they are mostly aggreable and dont tell when they do something wrong so they see the user happy
“in a test” is also meant to include the training, or lack of, before the test but i did not know how to word it
