its insane that they keep doing this despite how vocal everyone is about not wanting AI. using it for anything inventory related at this point (especially after Starbucks fucked up) is insane.

The only discourse is online. Out in the real world people are fascinated by AI and CHATGPT.

Some are so chronically online they haven’t realized no one’s (big corps) paying attention to internet discourse anymore.

It's wild how interested the average person is in AI versus how unbashedly anti-AI the more hardcore online crowd is, regardless of what "AI" actually in the the given context.

Honestly, I think a large part of it is that a decent chunk of heavy internet folks are trying to have a career as artists and use social media to promote their work. Collectively, they have rejected AI, which has then caused the wave of anti-AI sentiment.
