No. This has to be satire. It HAS to be.

When writing a prompt for an ai image generator becomes so much of a bother that people reaort to using chatgpt to write prompts, you know we're living in satire world.

Apparently research shows that ChatGPT is better at writing image generator prompts than people; AI just taking even more jobs 😔

well “Prompt engineers” are just going to have to adapt aren’t they 😌

Guess they need to learn how to code!

It can output code. No assurances for the code actually working or making any sense at all

Depends on the language. There are languages where it literally just makes shit up. I couldn't get it to code a very simple Pong NES game, for example. It's really bad at LSL used in Second Life.

It can code done basic things, but anything slightly complicated and it becomes a nightmare to try and debug

I started calling them prompt jockeys. They’re just hitting the horse with a stick to make it go.

Trying it got me an instant block 😂

ohhhhhh!!! I love it! I've been struggling to come up with a term

I think I like it because it evokes two ideas: that the horse is the one doing the real work and that there are the vibes of the douche culture of shock jocks.

I mean, 'shitheads' was right there.

I’m still recovering emotionally from people selling “prompt packs” on Etsy.

I've even seen some ai bros whining about other ai bros "stealing prompts." I'm not kidding. How do these people survive without punching themselves in the face?
Avatar
I think the worst part is the 'on Etsy' bit. Like. Someone is selling artisanal, hand made prompt packs to be used on ChatGPT or whatever.

For people who think purchasing decisions aren’t work, but creative decisions are.

NO YOU ARE NOT SERIOUS I need to lie down

also, to double down in the way you know me best for: "prompt engineering" is just chud-speak for getting around the issues LLMs have. like, GPT-3 should just be able to do math, why should i have to tell it it's a "brilliant mathematician who can solve any problem?" it's complete bullshit

I'm going to start calling them "prompt jockeys" now. bsky.app/profile/alex...

AI art has always been about minimal input.
Avatar
I can't even tell if you're joking or if this has already happened.
Avatar
Essentially it has - those shitty AI Wes Anderson "parodies" on YouTube exist because some guy asked ChatGPT for viral video ideas and that was one of the suggestions it barfed out.

Most AI image generators do this anyway. Rarely is the prompt used as-is in DALL-E etc., it's typically dressed-up with additional language to form a hidden middle prompt. Example: ask for a "dolphin riding a bicycle" it may add "cartoon style, strong outline, realistic colors" etc.

They're all versions of the same scam.

They’re actually the same people, just their brains are more degenerated

AI programs don't create art from thin air. They create art from the tens of thousands of images they were "trained" on: images created by actual artists, mostly without the artists' permission. How can you accuse someone of theft when your entire work was created by stealing from thousands?
Avatar
Yes, that is the joke here.
Avatar
Yes, I'm aware, but many of the AI fanboys literally aren't. They think that AIs being "trained" by being fed artwork to mix up and regurgitate is no different from being taught or inspired by another artist's work.
Avatar
They are idiots.

I'm not an AI fanboy, I am a tech fanboy that has little to do with art at all. What I can tell you is that AI does not regurgitate images like that. That's technically possible but not what is done. It is in fact closer to being inspired by something but also not the same. AI is much more
