So letting people know you’ve used AI is not a good thing? Best used in covert is what you’re saying?

Some people are just biased to the point that telling them something is AI when it's actually not will cause them to convince themselves such:

Interesting. And now this not-AI-generated-actually-real-cropped-Monet-AI-joke has been sold to an AI art collector for 40k. https://x.com/SHL0MS/status/2055281312697647223

The most amusing part of that experiment was that even Grok got convinced that it was AI-generated: https://x.com/grok/status/2054432219460977142

Sometimes it is not a "good thing" because it will cause people to react negatively. Whether the public's dislike of AI valid or not depends entirely on your perspective and the situation at hand.

Should people be scared of their food containing Red Dye 3? Yes. Aspartame? Maybe. MSG? Probably not. Dihydrogen Monoxide? Nope.

Should you feel "shame" for using AI to generate fake news? Yes. Art? Not really. See the numerous examples of people disliking famous human-made art just because it was presented as AI.

I don’t follow because all I see in other AI threads is how this is the future and people best adjust to the AI reality.

The hyper macho’ism on show by a large majority of pro-AI posters on other threads is frankly embarrassing and if I was trying to promote a positive spin on AI I’d be telling the bro’s to STFU.
