What’s next you tech bro wankers, is AI going to drink the pint for me?

… just when you thought they couldn’t force AI into any more things. The epitome of a solution in search of a problem

    US Copyright Office ruled that AI generated content is not eligible for copyright.

    Therefore, AI generated beer is actually Free Beer!

    This is an interesting legal strategy. Let’s see how it goes.

      People can sell, idk—example—strawberries but they don’t have a “copyright” to them (we will not delve into the discussion of copyright genome sequences here). Unfortunately, copyright not being applicable doesn’t make things free when we look at the existing market.

    This is the dumbest. Like even AI would say this is dumb. I’d ask it but then I would be complicit in global resource abuse! Nope… just going to human type this is the dumbest.

    If you follow the homebrewing socials world there was a flurry of AI vs human beer recipe videos and posts a while ago.

    in short, yes most of these Ai tools can spit out a workable beer recipe, but as expected it’s more or less just the average of multiple published recipes and not particularly special, and if you ask it to tweak the recipe for a particular quality it falls apart quickly due to a lack of source data for the effects of all possible variables.

    We need to go back to the time when comupting power was limited so everything needed to be hella efficient, cuz I feel like we have so much of it that we don’t know what to use it on.

      This is what bugs me about our renewables transition. We should eventually be getting cheaper electricity due to solar overabundance and cost of production going to zero.

      Instead, these data centers are gobbling up every free Watt the grid produces, not even paying premium for it, and we’re soaking up the costs due to the price of the demand.

      This then incentivizes anyone with a home solar setup to never give back to the grid at all, because otherwise you’re feeding these assholes

        I’m convinced this is on purpose. Politicians always say “we can’t get rid of dirty energy until we have enough clean energy to replace it.” Suddenly, when clean energy is good enough to replace it, businesses decide this shitty inefficient technology is needed, and it gobles up any power available. This creates a situation where we can never remove dirty energy because, no matter how much clean energy is produced, all the energy is also consumed.

        I can’t know for sure this is on purpose, but the timing sure is convenient for them. It makes the excuse to never regulate dirty energy perpetual.

        I also think crypto could have been part of this scheme, but it suddenly died because “AI” is even better for the task of wasting energy.

    Modern statistical tools are sufficient to simulate and model the fermentation process, I don’t even know what AI would even contribute here…

    Maybe it’s a joke, because there is no AI in IPA.

      I asked an LLM client to name my last batch of homebrew. It suggested, “Phresh Pilsner”. My 90 year old grandma would think that’s lame AF.

        I’ve tried using LLMs to name games for game jams and wow it’s bad. It tends to recommend almost exclusively alliteration. There’s nothing creative or interesting that comes out of it.
