a visual version of the article i replied to

by optimising too much based on the surface value of things, we lose the real value behind it

ie. outsourcing the doorman to a revolving door, which results in losing the human touch of greeting guests, carrying their luggages, and hailing cabs for them

This sort of thing is shocking until you realize that there isn’t much of a distinction between “flesh influencer” and “AI influencer.” To the audience that consumes this content, a flesh influencer is practically just as unreal as a fully generated one. They will never meet either version; the flesh influencer is just as virtual / intangible. Her curated & filtered experiences are also nearly just as fake.

We don’t seem to realize how virtual & abstract & fake our experiences of other people already are. The fact that men follow this AI girl is just as shocking as the fact that men would follow a real girl who posts like this — which is to say, it isn’t shocking at all, since it isn’t really a fundamentally different type of thing

Whenever there is some new AI alternative to something, we should ask ourselves, “What is it that we’re losing?” If the answer is “influencer culture,” then good riddance. This actually isn’t a problem

Moravec's paradox is the observation in Artificial Intelligence that high-level reasoning (chess, math, logic) requires relatively little computation, while low-level sensorimotor skills (walking, perception, object manipulation) require enormous computational resources.

Jevon's paradox in play

When AI makes coding cheaper, companies actually may need a lot more software engineers, not fewer.

Surprising gender biases in GPT

LLMs don’t reason about morality. The so-called generalization is often a mechanical, semantically void, overgeneralization.
