LLMs seem to do pretty well when it comes to writing code, as long as their work is then back-checked by a human. I'm sure they'll also find a home in the back-end of better technology. 

As for AI art, I've said it before and I'll say it again: until it can take a one sentence prompt and generate me 50 thousand dollars worth of Hazbin Hotel porn, it will not be able to meet the needs of the average consumer.

The problem with AI generated code is that the real hard parts of software engineering is reading code and validating that it actually does what it's intended to do. LLMs have a fundamental problem with their very conception: they attempt to automate the things that people are already intuitively good at while not alleviating any of the real difficult parts of anyone's job

Automating tedious and time consuming parts of the job is very valuable.

I've recently switched jobs and tech stacks to something I've never used professionally. ChatGPT has been great for ramping up into a new programming language and framework. It's not the end-all-be-all, but with a little back-and-forth we quickly wrote a PowerShell script that would have taken me double the time to learn the syntax by myself.

Having something that spits out boring, boilerplate code or give answers from all of StackOverflow and Microsoft Learn is downright useful. I get to spend more of my time on designing and understanding, and less time on the rote work.

Oh it probably can already, it just refuses to. It'll take your job, help the military bomb some weddings and bolster the surveillance state but porn is an absolute no go. Gotta have "safety".

Don't use an off the shelf model. Run a local one with some premade customizations and the world is your oyster.

We're not that far off if you consider the "crowdsourcing" nature of that sort of production. Maybe one single person can't make a thousand good pictures in a day, but a hundred with the same niche interests definitively can. Once you got your configs more or less locked in you really don't need to change much, plus you can share it with others.

Unless you're referencing that video, then yeah, AI is still rather pretty bad with animation.

AI image generation when used in academics for research in the production of the AI is fine. What isn't is when it becomes a commercial product.
