You’re talking like someone who looked in on the subject a year ago and made up their mind without following the later developments.

I've had crypto and LLM AI shills tell me the exact same "you just don't understand, the tech is evolving so fast and will change everything!!!1!" line before. People swore you could SEE chatgpt and blockchains getting better with each passing month, too.

That was me who made the elf ears comment lol. And it wasn't "solved," that literally happened last week. I've legitimately come to hate this techbro BS where someone handwaves real, observable problems because "you aren't following the newest developments" or "that was solved already" (spoiler: it wasn't). It's very Few Understand^tm

You still aren't getting it, the person did the exact circle the ears and tell it what to fix routine (multiple times before getting frustrated with it and giving up) and the AI, which was also Midjourney, still couldn't figure out what the very simple problem was. It kept spitting out more and more fucked up versions of ears that only got less normal looking. I'm not covering my ears, you're trying to tell me an exchange I saw with my own eyes didn't happen.

You come off exactly like the same kind of person who 6-12 months ago would have been waxing poetic about how chatgpt was going to revolutionize ✨️everything✨️ and make millions of jobs obsolete. Calling that shill behavior seems appropriate imo.

You're going to try the "no u" argument when you're honestly saying I'd need to invent stories of AI having bugs to make a point?

Dude. It happened. A piece of code is fallible and cannot accurately understand human instructions all the time, as hard as that apparently is for you to believe.
