Tech bros misunderstand stuff
Aaron Ross Powell explains he isn't an AI skeptic and that he finds LLMs “powerful tools with real world use cases”, but that the idea that AGI is near or that art can be made with these tools comes down to a misunderstanding on the part of tech bros:
What’s going on is a confluence of two features of Silicon Valley tech bro culture. First, Silicon Valley tech bros believe that they aren’t just skilled at computer programming, but that they are geniuses to a degree that cuts across all disciplines and realms of accomplishment. (…) The second feature is a basic lack of taste.
