Hi Larry,
Yes, the rapid rise of "AI" is something else. Right now LLMs are mainly still engines that string together statistical sequences, sometimes referred to as stochastic parroting.
I'm keeping track of the developments, but as you mentioned, the joy of creating is not the same when using AI. For example, I've tried a few of the image-to-3D LLMs, and I'm sometimes amazed by how correct the technology interprets depth in complex images, with an arm in front of another arm, for example. But in the end, it's the creative process that gives you satisfaction… Conquering initial hurdles, reaching a point where you realize it's going to work out (or not), surprising yourself and others, and the satisfaction of receiving praise for what you've made. All that is not applicable when you make use of AI.
I hope we'll reach a point where LLMs are helpful tools to aid creation, but do not take over the entire creative process.

Hi Metin,
Very well put! I think the appeal of the "shiny new thing" and perhaps "fast & cheap" will draw many toward this technology, but at a cost to our human spirits.
Okay, now we're sounding like a couple of sage old men proudly surveying their buggy whip mfg facility while Henry Ford is building a new plant nearby...

Hahaha, yeah, I try not to judge too much. I did a lot of skeptical complaining in the initial phase of the AI hype, but I guess it's here to stay, so we might as well try to carefully embrace it, looking for ways to use it to our advantage.
