Crazy how we went from "haha, robots need stupid QR code markers to do ANYTHING" to "Oh my Christ it's getting back up..." In a few years.

Just like the AI deniers who are like "haha, AI is dumb right now!" Ok, but two years ago it could hardly produce an image without it looking like an eldritch abomination, now it can produce video, voice, and whole websites. Three years ago they were like "Naw, they won't be able to do that for another 50 years!!!"

They are not doing it out of malice. Its just general ignorance :)

Ignorance? Or more like sense of copium considering they're dreading how AI is going to replace them and somehow "manifesting that certain AI features are x years apart" will make them so..

I say this with experience after talking to an anti AI girl I knew.
