Sorry if this is a dumb question, but does anyone else feel like technology - specifically consumer tech - kinda peaked over a decade ago? I’m 37, and I remember being awed between like 2011 and 2014 with phones, voice assistants, smart home devices, and what websites were capable of. Now it seems like much of this stuff either hasn’t improved all that much, or is straight up worse than it used to be. Am I crazy? Have I just been out of the market for this stuff for too long?

    If you think an AI can do those things almost as good as a human, you should find more capable humans to hang out with

      If it was shit, people wouldn’t be complaining about having to compete with it.

      It really depends on what we mean by “better than a human”. Can AI draw better then the average human, yes. Can AI draw better then the best 10% of artists, no.

      In any case, this is a tool. It helps me make up for the skills I don’t have either to entertain me or help me. It just needs to be better then the human I can afford to hire, but I’m broke so the bar is low tbh.

      And let’s be honest too, the average human is kind of shit at most things, half of America can’t even think for itself apparently, the bar isn’t very high on what they can do either.
