I don’t hate AI itself, but the amount of AI slop ruining the internet gives me a negative feeling about it whenever I see it. I used to enjoy fucking around with the early pre-2021 GANs, diffusion models and GPT3 playground before ChatGPT was around and actually liked the crazy dreamlike nonsense they made, but now it all feels like dead soulless crap getting used to replace humans. Probably going to get super downvoted for admitting to ever liking AI image gens lmao
When I first saw the game “AI dungeon” it blew my mind. It actually used gpt-2.
Anyway the game later had to get worse to manage cost of servers and seeing them struggle to make it work was just sad to watch.
I remember there being youtube essays going over how this is one of the reasons free AI services open to public are just unmaintainable but then chatgpt/gpt-3 came out and that whole topic was closed to look at this shiny new thing instead.
