If you are too lazy to create your own art, you could just not. That's an option. No one would think less of you. As opposed to what did happen, where I now think less of you.

AI solving problems that don't exist once again. There was already a way to do this. I guess the problem to be solved was paying human artists. (If you consider that a problem, which she apparently did.) Anyway, won't be watching. ✌️

The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead: www.ispot.tv/ad/SoDi/micr...

I think forcing people to include the prompt they typed in the first place in the finished product would actually be the best form of AI use disclosure.

Tremendous.

Eric Pratt, the republican running for Angie Craig's open seat in MN-02, left the AI restating his prompt on his website. "The President is not popular, so all messaging should be focused on local politics and needs." amazing

If you use AI to "write" you're not only expressing contempt for your reader and making yourself stupider, you'll also never know the satisfaction of confidently closing dozens of tabs in your browser after turning the story in to your editors.
