I guess I should refine my question to be about text to media specifically.

Likewise for the orcs I guess. Maybe its just going to be a matter of degree and any test I come up with have exceptions and counter examples.

"The truth is no online database will replace your daily newspaper, no CD-ROM can take the place of a competent teacher and no computer network will change the way government works"

This sentence seems pretty accurate to me? Like it does undersell the scale of change, but you still can't replace a good human teacher, and people still read books and newspapers despite never ending predictions they are done for

Making a fun, polished game, and not just a quick prototype to post screenshots of on social media, is not just about choosing the right LLM model and telling it ‘make a fun game’

Prior to those there wasn't any reason to explore the map, it was just a game of building up an army and then storming the other side all at once.

The other details - shakes, music, announcements, etc, did all add little bits of interest to it.

For the record, I was one of those people who wanted to make games. That led me to learn programming and eventually led to a career as a programmer. Lots of others with similar stories. But if you’d given a younger me an LLM, I may never would have developed those skills.

That’s one of my concerns. I have others, like effects on the job market, the general unfairness of all our data being used to train models we’re now expected to pay for, negative effects on the environment, and the way in which LLMs promote inequality and can potentially crush small businesses. How do these concerns weigh against someone who wants to make a video game but doesn’t want to learn how to make video games?

But just like people who try to write a book without writing skills or paint a mural without ever having picked up a brush, it’s going to be an uphill battle and will likely fail. So to that end I ask: what’s the point? Why are the AI pilled so passionate about the increase in spam and slop and harbor so much disdain for skill, expertise, and dare I say, discipline?

We can do away with all that. No need to strive to be a complete person, no need to grow, to challenge yourself.

All you need to do is snap your fingers. What do you mean you still feel hollow inside? You should have asked the machine to also give you a dose of Accomplishment for the task you didn’t put any effort in.

I wonder if I can ask AI to make me a millionaire so I don't have to put in the effort to do it myself.
