https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moving_the_goalposts reviewing the 'see also' section of the goalposts wikipage is like looking at a syllabus for PR. People are terrible.

I also think there is a novel new effect happening which is that if one question anything about AI. For example: I tired to use Dall-E for something useful and it sucked. You get labelled...Anti-AI.

Being critical about certain things isn't allowed at the moment.

Kind of like the 2023 replacement for Anti-vaxxer if you don't want to take medicine every 3 months.

My honest opinion, is that while a lot of this technology is cool and novel, it's not perfect, it has uses and then it doesn't. What it does have is a lot of good marketing and PR behind it and so you're up against a lot of that too.

One example I like is the Dall-e homepage shoes the curated "best" images generated, which might be showing only 1 in 1000 or more of the best images. I was excited when I first tried it based on the front page. But now it's drawing people with feet for hands for me and it's super super fun and entertaining to play with, I don't feel it works quite as advertised most of the time.
