The gist is this: Companies approach AI text or art generators with the idea that these free or exceedingly cheap services can write blog posts or make logos for them and whatnot.
But because artificial intelligence can't really learn the nuance of vibes people want to include in their content, still has no idea when it comes to text in images, and writes hallucinations when it knows it actually knows better.
From the article (emphasis in that last sentence is mine):
"Anyone can now write blog posts, produce a graphic or code an app with a few text prompts, but AI-generated content rarely makes for a satisfactory final product on its own.
The issue has transformed the job market for many gig workers. Despite widespread concern that AI is replacing workers across industries, some are saying they’ve found new work as a result of AI’s incompetencies: Writers are asked to spruce up ChatGPT’s writing. Artists are being hired to patch up wonky AI images. Even software developers are tasked with fixing buggy apps coded by AI assistants.
A recent MIT report found that AI has displaced outsourced workers more than permanent employees. But it also found that 95% of businesses’ generative AI pilots are getting zero return on investment."
Sure, the boosters claim, but AI will continue to get better.
They're probably right. But can't they get better at stuff nobody wants to do, rather than get better at the stuff people enjoy doing, like writing, designing, and such? I know, it's the low-hanging fruit. The tech bros look at AI and think that writing and art and coding are the easiest things for them to accomplish.
Work harder, tech bros. Work harder.
Let humans create. The robots can tap buttons at our command; that's all we really want from robots.
