"AI" is really the new "blockchain" in how every company is trying to hit the buzzword bingo with it right now.

We already had something that turned text prompts into art, it was called paying an artist.

@Gargron You do realize, that from the perspective of a rentier capitalist, that old model had a very big problem, called “artist” that wanted to be paid?

@yacc143 @Gargron true, but with Amazon exploring the need for their own nuclear reactors to power ML training, I do wonder how much one "pays" the ML.

@roadriverrail @Gargron Well, nuclear plants are a nice way to greenwash your energy needs.

(Not that arguably it might be a short-term solution to avoid CO²)

@yacc143 @Gargron Believe me, I'm not anti-nuclear. I just wonder how the capital costs (and the labor costs of operation) amortize out.
