A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

What do you mean “would?”

“Does.” Does hate them losers and their AI slop.

Yeah, this made me worried that I'd missed some news about him. Shitty, misleading, clickbaity headline, indeed.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 days ago

Agreed, not the best headline for an otherwise solid article.

He's 84 and not dead yet. Why doesn't somebody ask him?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago

I believe he called AI animation an insult to life itself.

Cause it’s much easier to wildly speculate and make your clickbait article than actually do real journalism

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

Because he's 84 and not dead yet.

Would hate

Maybe someone should ask him about it? And please, don't quote him out of context.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

They did, and he didn't have pretty words for AI (called it soulless, if I remember correctly).

These were his exact words:

I am utterly disgusted. If you really want to make creepy stuff, you can go ahead and do it. I would never wish to incorporate this technology into my work at all. I strongly feel that this is an insult to life itself. [...] I feel like we are nearing to the end of times. We humans are losing faith in ourselves.

Yeah, this is the out of context stuff I'm talking about. This was his comment on presentation of horrible self learned walking model. Not the anime stuff.

[EDIT]: His quote is from 2016, long before modern AI

Is there any article about a response? I mean this one is kind of yesterday's news. It's the situation from 2 weeks ago... And lots of other articles seem to just cite the quote from 2016 and apply it to today.
