I Love This Site Bc Everyone Straight Up Encourages Being Out Of Your Goddamn Fucking Mind

I am so. fucking. tired. of AI being revered as some big fucking step forward for humanity. I’m tired of people acting as if it’s going to solve all of life’s problems, while turning around and using it to do the most mundane, creative, enjoyable and rewarding things.

oh? It’s going to solve cancer, complex mathematical equations, world hunger, economics, climate change? Yeah? But in the mean time, you’re using it to write books, newspapers, eulogies? You’re using it to make art, songs, clothing? All things which have always held inherent beauty due to the touch of humanity seen in them? It’s gonna solve world hunger, fix climate change, but in the meantime it’s used to generate brainrot images while its servers suck up so much money and power and water that it’s actively ruining the climate?

my mom is an author. A few months ago she found out that her books, and all books in the romance genre, were being fed to AI. To train its skills. She got no say in if her work was used for it

my dad got put in the newspaper, and he was excited about posing for the photo they took. Today he found out the entire article was written by ChatGPT.

my English teacher encourages us to use it to write poetry. To cite sources and make art.

when the fuck are people going to realize that it’s not funny? It’s not a joke? It’s not something to grin and present to someone, like, “I made this with AI! Look what it can do! We’re in the age of technology, and it’ll only get better from here!”

you can’t “make” anything with AI. You put that in there, you have no true hand in its creation. You are not an “ai artist”. You are an ai user, and a fucking ignorant person. being in the age of technology could have been a good thing. You twisted that by allowing the technology to take over the elements of your life you could have found the most happiness in.

it will not get better from here. People will rely on it like they rely on any crutch—to the point of muscle atrophy. The muscle in question? Their brain. And they won’t give a shit, becuase it’s making life easier. It’ll solve world hunger and fix climate change.

Teaching creative writing to 8 to 12 year olds this summer, a demographic whose stories include a shocking amount of murder. The use of "unalive" was so egregious I had to tell them, "if you aren't comfortable using the words death, die, and kill, you aren't mature enough to be writing about them yet". Kiddo asked me if that applies to adults as well, and I told them it very much does, so here's a PSA.

If you aren't comfortable using the words death, die, and kill, you aren't mature enough to be writing about them yet.
