It's not just the fediverse, the tide against widespread LLM use is turning in real life
To be fair, yes, I'm just another person on the fediverse for all of you, but for me, this is the reality I live in.
I've always wondered about all the AI hate around here, and if this is just a fediverse thing, but realized recently that it's not. In fact, people are generally getting tired of constant LLM and genAI use. I've already noticed people getting turned off by AI flyers more and more, sentences like "oh, they switched to an AI flyer", in a voice of disappointment. And recently, I was at a trade show, talking to one of the reps at a booth, and it was really interesting to hear what he had to say on the topic. Apparently, two years ago, he constantly got questions about AI, wanting to hear that the products contain AI. This year, people also ask him fairly often if his products have AI, hoping to hear that they don't have AI. And he was able to clearly say, there is no AI in his products (at least not the LLM kind, only the classic, non-neural network kind).
What. A. Day.
I get to eat next month!
It was a great audience for our leatherwork. Sometimes folks like our work but it's out of their price range, which I totally understand. Today people loved our work and didn't blink an eye at paying for the materials and hours of labour. We're so grateful! #fair#craftsmanship#LeatherCraft#gratitude
Went to the season's first country fair. There were many animals, which we love, but no poultry because of the avian flu (the danger of spreading it). Mentions of milking and beef with the cattle but nothing about the hides. As unpleasant as it may be I think people should know where their leather comes from.
Also nothing about bees. And how could all the 4H booths be devoid of felting and leathercraft? #country#fair#4H#AnimalHusbandry
