There was this thread from 2005 in the Apple community, when the iPod shuffle came out, a bunch of people complained that the "iPod Shuffle" wasn't shuffled enough (it'd play songs from the last few days, felt not random) and so Apple had to implement a more 'shuffled' algo I think something eventually similar is going to happen with AI, where people are going to say it's too perfect, and they want it to make mistakes and be human sometimes (doesn't feel human enough) https://discussions.apple.com/thread/250637

I already feel this way about image generation in AI. The lack of originality is staggering. You can feel the machine trying to make it boring and assimilate outputs to knowns.

Ha that’s right. Iirc there a video of Jobs talking about this. Reminds me of Priceline’s VC pitch. Iirc they said it took something like an hour (?) to find the best price so consumers would believe they were doing ‘something’ on their behalf. Also the just add water instant cake mixes failure because people wanted to feel like there were more important to the process. https://kmacb.eth.sucks/?id=C56195E4-2C81-4EFA-81D2-77028717C8F6
