You just end up creating a doom loop where everyone is using the same tools to create similar content and eventually, no one really cares about the content because all of it is the same
I’ve already seen this in my own behavior where anything even remotely AI-generated makes me tune out completely
It’s creating this weird flatness everywhere where people are using it to create things that don’t matter (LinkedIn posts, dull corporate presentations). But because everyone is also using it for the exact same purposes, the same things now matter even less
LinkedIn posts never really mattered. But because everyone is now using broadly the same tools and prompts to create LinkedIn posts, the posts matter even less now
Opus 4.8 is genuinely one of the most frustrating models in casual use. It has a tendency to completely lose context in the middle of a conversation. It’s also too pedantic and nitpicky, and relies on language that’s way too specific to get any work done. I always end up being frustrated with it and revert to opus 4.6
It's also such a recursive problem - there aren't enough kids, so your kids don't have enough kids to play with, so you don't have more kids
I remember almost never sitting inside my house after school. I had two elder siblings and we had probably 30 odd kids in my locality. We would all be out all the time. Safety wasn't an issue because there were some older kids in the group too who could be counted on to keep things in line
Now my daughter has just 3-5 kids of her age in my locality, and because they don't have any older siblings, they always have to be accompanied by adults
it was also astonishingly lazy. Would just ask me to write test scripts. I asked it to create simple UI buttons for testing some basic functions so I could share it with a client, and it gave me curl commands instead - and then defended it by saying that the UI is wasted work
Frustrating because if I have a tool, I expect a tool to do what I tell it to do. Tools shouldn't have any opinions on how they should be used
I think 4.7 was an awful model in actual use. I never got anything out of it and it was frustratingly weird. This feels more like an attempt to course correct and isn't a real bump
I use AI as an amateur producer simply to get ideas
I would NEVER EVER consider using AI in something I actually release to listeners
I don't care if its good or bad. If I'm making someone listen something, it should've been touched by my hand - even if that means turning a knob in a DAW
Indian bureaucracy thinks extremely short term. The state prioritizes extracting revenue over all else. So many baffling short-term decisions over everything from corporate tax breaks to a incentives for global events like Formula 1.l
You really can’t expect the same bureaucratic setup to think in terms of the decade+ it would take to be competent at something like chips
As an Indian, my quality of life would be improved more by the Indian state first figuring out how to make functional roads and garbage collection systems
India needs to first figure out the absolute basics
Congrats! This looks like a daily one for me
