They definitely have a place in creative work. As an engine not a driver. For example, when writing songs I use them to help me try and rephrase things or find different words to convey what I want. I've also used them to give me ideas for variations to explore on game mechanics, or generate sample data with a loose set of parameters, or create some reference material for drawing. But every time I've used them they have pretty much never gotten it right the first time. Always there's revisions, always there's at least some massaging I have to do on my part to make it coherent. And why wouldn't there be? If I could write a prompt so precise that it gave me something exact, I would need to already know precisely what I want and maybe wouldn't even need the AI at all. For creative stuff at least, it has to make some garbage otherwise it's not really creating enough variation to be useful.

They really had the foresight not to add an "other" option. Says a lot

More like several very complicated moving parts hosted on complicated infrastructure to keep the illusion of nothing on nothing.

The barenaked ladies are TRIPLE PLATINUM, are YOU?

Makes me ponder that old bit of wisdom. Why does Ross, the largest friend, not simply eat the other five?

Pretty much the reason I never used it on my last phone. Even went through the steps to have it recognize my voice better, and even when it hears it the first time there's a 1 second delay before it actually starts listening, which makes me further contemplate why I bothered.

And pounds are what Americans use instead of kilograms.

This has real "r/whenthe" energy. Just imagine:

When you're doing your work and your boss starts looking over your shoulder (my boss is a ripped chimpanzee)

I barely see them probably due to the communities I'm subscribed to, but to me Lemmy looks plenty active without them.

So, how often do you take apart and put together cars?

Not yet, anyway
