I must confess I got curious and tried Buffer's AI "Generate Ideas" feature to see what all the fuss was about.

"Half-baked" doesn't even begin to describe what is on offer here. It's hilariously bad.
It gives you two fields:
- What is your business about?
- What is your target audience? -

From that, every goddamn suggestion is some version of:
"Create an engaging post about [what you typed in field 1] that appeals to [what you typed in field 2]"
With only minor differences in syntax between variations.
We're burning down forests for this bullshit?

@[email protected] I'm reminded of that interview someone did with... I think a writer from maybe the Sopranos? And the interviewer asked if the writer was interested in an LLM, and he was like "fuck no", and then the interviewer pressed a little more and was like, "if you were stuck on how to end a scene, you wouldn't consider asking ChatGPT for ten ways to end this scene?" and the writer responded "I would rather put a gun in my mouth and pull the trigger"
and I think about that, a lot, and how basically while obviously he was exaggerating, I do think that level of vitriol is appropriate. We're burning down forests for fucking nothing. Complete trash. -

@aud totally! if you have even the tiniest morsel of creativity in your brain you will be able to run laps around this shit

@[email protected] I constantly think the fact that "execs" are into this is a huge indictment of them as people (not that there is anything wrong with not being a creative person; however, there is something wrong with wanting to burn down a forest rather than just let other people be creative) but of course they don't realize (or care).
