Show HN: Death by AI
I don't think it's quite right. AI is much better as a helper than as something that does the whole job. It also doesn't actually think, so replacing doctors with it would be a terrible, terrible idea.I asked it to write a poem and got this: https://imgur.com/DBHjki5Now, as an assistant, that's amazing. As an actual finished result, it's not good. It needs tweaking and fixing, to make everything work right. Same goes for AI images.So here's what I think AI will actually endanger: stock photography. If you're writing a blog and need to stick a random illustration on an entry for extra appeal, the AI is perfect. You don't care if it fits in a theme, or if it's quite right. You need a picture of a cute cat, so most any cute cat will do.Doing actual, specific illustrations with an AI is hard work and you'll find beating your head against it quite frequently, especially if you need more than one, and if you need something that's not quite well covered in the dataset. AI works much better to compliment a human artist that can guide it to generate what's needed, and fix the problems in post.
