Sure, but that seems largely irrelevant to what's being discussed here.

The public in general is anti-AI, so any marketeer thinking that associating AI with their brand is a positive is misreading the room, and any thinking that the public are unable to detect it most of the time, especially in something like a video, are just wrong.

Is that going to change - will AI-generated content become harder to detect? Sure, but "we know the public hate this, but we can con them" doesn't really sound like a recipe for success. In a world increasingly awash with AI generated content, it's easy to predict that human-generated content and interaction is going to be increasingly valued, and smart companies will realize this.

> Soon - and even now - there are people getting away with using it that you guys can’t detect.

It's very strange to me that this is the pro-AI argument. It's not that things will be better, its that they can't be fought effectively.

The inventors of the printing press and the steam engine and the internet--whatever parallel you want--had a vision of improvement, making things better. AI proponents seem to want to make things worse, gleefully, but not be criticised for it.

Even if you're completely correct, that's not a good starting point.

In the case of AI generated imagery, maybe it will get to the point where people can't tell just by looking at it. If it does, at what cost? It seems to me that token cost is rising, I can't help but wonder if hiring an illustrator might end up being less expensive in the long run.

Oh, I get that. LLMs are here to stay, like pyramid and Ponzi schemes, like Bitcoin and NFTs. It will be here until it isn't or we aren't. (And it just may help with that last.)

hope this isnt some smartass selfrefretial joke

Look no further than the censorship in this thread! Why did mods delete half the replies and then ban the account?

You heard it from Tupac - this site has bigger problems than AI

Like for example a lot of legitimate and useful companies are completely dependent on the advertisement, which is a net negative absolutely vile and disgusting invention. But we all collectively picked option to defect, and not because we are bad humans, and are paying for that decision collectively too.

that's called being a grifter not an illustrator
