That's the problem with conflating LLMs and image/video generation - they're all lumped into the same bucket, even when they shouldn't.

I mean the idea of AI (or at least what these companies are calling AI) is fundamentally tainted in the public's eye. People aren't suddenly going to start loving it after everything that's happened in the past ~5 years or so, even if it was somehow restarted.

Yes, I do. Do you? Is there a point to this condescension?

Why should they be separate? The same technology generates text, images, video, audio, 3D models, actuator and stepper motor control sequences, video game controller input streams, and literally everything else that can be transformed into data.

I'll let alone the question of whether or not any of the tech is "tainted", because it doesn't matter. Planck's principle tells us how this will play out in the long run.

The point is if you come in with imprecise, vague language, you are literally saying something like "I hate math."

You blame others -- "They're lumped into the same bucket even when they shouldn't" -- some of that is on you for lumping what is a marketing labels in with the fundamental technology.

"People aren't suddenly going to start loving it after everything that's happened in the past ~5 years or so"

That's not the way it's going to go. Tools will develop in ways beyond what is seen today, and it will fade into the background noise, just like the internet, search and other tools, but only moreso.
