    Don’t be a fool. Most people mean generative AI when they say AI. Nobody thinks of the 500 other things stacks of matrices and a pile of linear algebra can do, because they don’t understand it.

    No, the fill in algorithms are not generative AI (at least the ones back in 2010).

      You’re right. Nobody thinks of any other application when they trash talk “AI” as a concept. That’s kind of my point?? There is a complete lack of nuance around the whole topic.

      There is such a huge difference between a VFX artist using generative AI to create a background texture vs a whole scene yet it pretty much all of it gets lost in reporting. Any use of machine learning makes you irredeemable in the eyes of the internet warrior.

        im an artist and i wouldn’t use gen ai to make a background texture. there’s tons of free textures, and if all else fails i can a) paint it myself or b) go take a photo
