Propaganda for a niche demographic will be consumed in great quantities by that demographic.

I haven't seen if and how the movie's income is (un)balanced between red and blue states, but I have a hunch...

He's at the stage where "The internet is just a passing phase" with a whole lot of narrow points proving how useless it all is.

"...all we have to show" and then you limit it to only one intentionally bizarre spectacle of use. You've absolutely ignored an entire industry save for a single bullet point about a single web page you clearly didn't like.

Did you forget about graphics? Did you forget about music? Did you forget about code? Did you forget about home automation? Did you forget about translations? Did you forget about proofreading? Did you forget about summarization? Did you forget about data aggregation and analysis? Did you forget about industrial robots? Etc.

Your conclusion is so cherry picked it is meaningless.

Weird. Most of the MacDonald's where I live use AI. And they're not the only ones. Doesn't seem like they failed.

MacDonald's is always trying "new" things intermittently in different markets. Removal from one market doesn't equal failure or permanence.

Most of the failures are a direct result of people intentionally trying to make it fail. Ordering a gazillion big macs and then replacing a third of them with egg mcmuffins is hardly something people would normally wish to do. Discoveries, like its inability to work with fractional food orders, are total nonsense since literally nobody orders food that way, unless they're trying to get lulz for their social accounts.

I couldn't get past the Press and Hold bot test, even though it gives me a check mark every time.

User verdverm's link in the comments gets you there.

I had actually expected AI to be significantly better at "content aware fill" than the non-AI variant.

You are right. I think removing a particular object is one example where AI really performs great. I remember watching a video on reddit, the guy did remove one thing but later had to manually fill up the surroundings and it took a lot time man. The new Content Aware Fill does really good job with that. But this study mostly focused on editing product photos. So there is more that goes on top of removing objects.

*edit: The study did show the use of the Photoshop background removal tool which didn't change the product's original look and helped to finish the editing faster than a manually edited one.

Just like the word "woke." Given what it really means, the anti- are trying very hard to be as stupid and gullible as possible.

Don't shoot the messenger. Think about what Woke means outside of propaganda, and the opposite is plain old idiocy without critical thinking. "Vote for the party name, knowing full well they won't give you anything you unwokefully thought you'd get out of that vote."

That "freedom of speech" means "I get to be nasty about you. You don't even get to be critical about me." He and Republicans have been playing this tune for quite a while now.

Besides, Freedom of speech is the right to express opinions, ideas, and beliefs without censorship, retaliation, or legal punishment from the government, protecting speech, writing, art, and symbolic acts (protests, etc).

Forcing "equal time" is definitely not freedom of speech, since it means anything a person wants to say has to be balanced with something someone else wants you to say.

(I'd also like to point out Steven Colbert made fun of Biden all the time. Often for things Trump made fun of, too. And sometimes he still does make fun of Biden. Does that mean he's already complying to this unethical rule?)

I'd be honest that the problem is that you aren't using a Windows computer. If he still has the receipts, he might be able to replace it with a Mac version, or something else entirely.

You have a technical reason that should not result in hurt feelings.

When they first upgraded, I saw that problem over a span of a few days. I gave lots of feedback because the problems were easily reproducible.

For example, ask for an image, with specific set of details, in 16:9 format, would present 3 images that completely ignored most of the details, and none would be in 16:9. I would have to downvote and "scold" it often to get the single pics with the content I was asking for.

This problem went away after maybe a week. I haven't really seen anything too annoying since. However, even though it claims it can do a full series in one fell swoop, I don't trust that enough to bother trying. One-by-one it is...

I also specify .jpg, but it switches format randomly sometimes. I know .webp is "better" but I'm tired of explaining what webp is to people, and dealing with file managers that don't show the format in tiles. So there are a subset of my target that only get slobberproof content from me.
