@hmans.dev So, I think we will be unable to reach some folks because they simply do not want to be reached. For some, it’s easier to just conflate any and all AI use, condemn it flat-out, and frame it as an act of solidarity with creators. For some, it’s a willful rejection of nuance, I think.

@hmans.dev I get why folks are against that. That framing plays hard into existing fears (job loss, loss of status, etc. — not unfounded), and that wave of fear and rejection can be another thing to hide behind for people who are unwilling to adapt, out of fear or uncertainty or sheer laziness of mind.

@hmans.dev “I played around with ChatGPT once for half an hour, about 2 years ago, it was crap” doesn’t cut it.

But back to the framing: CEOs telling everyone that AI will totally fuck us over but it’ll be great and desirable, that doesn’t help. That is a zero-sum framing, and it’s shit.

@hmans.dev The framing is all wrong. At least in our craft, you’ll have to understand AI as a tool to do your job, not as a means to an end.

\n

But that requires curiosity and a willingness to step out of your comfort zone, not just once but repeatedly, not least because the field is evolving at fast clip

@zottmann.dev So my current theory is that #Apple really, really wants us to use their “*.99” pricing scheme, including the arbitrary skips in the list (…, €7.99, €8.99, €9.99, €12.99, €14.99, €17.99, €19.99, €24.99, etc.). For those prices, there are properly calculated local counterparts.
