McDonalds look 10 years away from lower earnings and cultural irrelevance. The value proposition is non-existent and inflation is hurting their core audience. It feels like an inevitable decline, unless they can meaningfully up quality to match price increases.

Habits form faster when you do something for ten minutes six days a week than when you do it for an hour once a week. Big, infrequent efforts tend not to work.

I said people would come to value how energy efficient the human brain is on here 6 years ago and people laughed 😊

A crisis of meaning will probably be worse than the crisis of not knowing.

@atelicinvest The disconnect is because they were marketing to investors and large-scale employers not consumers or workers. They should have obviously done so privately.

@NerdPropellant @RezabekA @suzania The vast majority have honest objections. The responses aren't representative.

@suzania @RezabekA I'm defending your own position lol. Those comments underneath the Monet post are not representative of the majority of people who object to AI art. Myself included.

@catholicbirder @RezabekA @suzania Exactly, he set out to solicit them. He even made a second post underneath further guiding responses to focus entirely on image comparison. Still, most people who object to AI art didn't comment, as to them it doesn't matter if a machine can make a 1:1 copy.

@RezabekA @suzania To engage in the discussion is to accept the frame that reproduction is significant to begin with.

Mechanical skill was once required for visual art, but it has never been what makes the form art. Writing words with a pen is likewise a mechanical requirement, but writing by hand is not itself the art form.

@catholicbirder @RezabekA @suzania Because you’re observing a form of selection effect when reading those comments.

@RezabekA @suzania That’s a selection effect though. The majority of objectors would object to a perfect 1:1 representation, or even creating new works ‘in the style of’ 100% accurately.
