"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Sorry but whenever I hear this wording, I always imagine the porn lobby had a meeting one day to decide on a better word for 'meat' and they ended up on 'talent'
It’s standard film & television terminology. Not everyone sees sex work as demeaning, you know.
all performers across most fields are referred to as ‘talent’.
I think this term is used across all industries, Dua Lipa is talent, same as Brad Pitt
I always used actor, singer, ...
Their way makes it seem like they're the only ones there with talent lol
Why not the more real, laborer?
probably because "talent" is more specific:
that would be like "why not call them dogs?" when talking about poodles...yes, it's technically correct, but not really representative, is it?
Depends on what the circumstances are. But it's more of a reminder that while some of the talent in the arts are super rich they are still laborers.
