• That’s not how fads work, however.

        The Degenerative AI craze started because barely-capable software was hyped as the Next Big Thing and then failed to deliver. This has happened before in AI. At least twice. The old failed technologies still exist. They’re vastly improved over the versions that caused their “winters” (as their utter failure was termed). Nobody has rallied back to them. The same will happen with Degenerative AI.

          I can tell you as a Web designer, that even now it’s crazy useful. It will only take a bit to take it over the edge to be revolutionary. And no one will be able to ignore it. Not even the brands that are riding the Anti wave now.

            If you know the limitations and what you want from it, it’s a good tool. Cramming it into everything you can and pretending it’s revolutionary and not a steaming pile of shit is the trend, though. It’s basically the new blockchain: a solution in search of a problem.

              As it is right now I agree. Except for the crypto part. Crypto I think is even more specific - as the solution in search of the problem. Ai already is capable to replace some existing problems. Cramming it into everything is more like . com than crypto I think. There is potential there. There is. It just seems stupid at this point.

    One recent case of ai pushback is a video by Procreate’s CEO on X (formerly known as Twitter), where he affirmed his hate for gen ai + reassured the procreate customers that no Gen ai features will ever be added on Procreate

      And that is a good thing, but you’re also talking about an app which isn’t especially huge and also only for iOS.

    Good, but I also suspect that they didn’t invest early enough to make any money from it.
