Lionsgate has parted ways with Eddie Egan, the marketing consultant who came up with the “Megalopolis” trailer that included fake quotes from famous film critics.

The studio pulled the trailer on Wednesday, after it was pointed out that the quotes trashing Francis Ford Coppola’s previous work did not actually appear in the critics’ reviews, and were in fact made up.

Honestly surprised anyone actually uses chat GPT for real work without checking it. I thought everyone agreed it was basically still a toy at this point.

There are a lot of lazy idiots who haven’t gotten the memo

And also a lot of people who haven't realized yet that it's all hype.

It's not a toy. It's a data averaging function. Unless the data suddenly increases exponentially, it will always be at this point of uselessness. Thus the attempts to steal everyone's data (even though it still won't be enough)...

Which, ironically, makes it a toy.

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
