  I think the most upsetting part of AI is discovering how many people were so ready for it, like they were just waiting for something to show up that they could offload their lack of creativity or responsibility onto.

  I instantly lost friends because the first thing out of their mouth was ‘thank God I never have to pay anyone to commission art ever again and the little guy has access to good OC art.’

  These peolle were not functioning before AI.

    No absolving the LLM-obsessed but I believe the average person is just so overwhelmed with society that they salivate for easy answers, just so that something is easy in their lives.

    I imagine LLMs wouldn’t be as persuasive if humans had the leisure to satisfy their curiosity, indulge in artistic expression, and socialize with their loved ones. Instead we’re inculcated to this rat race and get surprised when people fall for any scraps they can get their hands on.

    Some people are mindless by nature, but this set-up was nutured (intentionally or not) by those wanting to exploit the commoners.

      I had this sort of sympathy until I saw how openly hostile people were in their open jealousy over talented people. I kept running into these people for years who were just so angry at the fact that they had to pay someone for their time and talent.

      This gets to be a little offshooty for other things I tend to have less popular opinions on, but it’s the same people who feel that piracy should be the norm. No art, performance, or entertainment should be allowed to compel payment and it should all be free. This includes people who absolutely froth about advertisments on their Youtube videos. Granted 5 ads in a row is ridiculous but peraonally I want my artists and performers to be paid egregiously and I will suffer some small inconveniences to make sure they ateast get something from me.

      But I think the venn diagram of people who are obsessed with AI and the people who just take offense to having to spend money on anything is a pretty tight one.

        I’m staunchly anti-AI, pro-piracy, and pro-adblock. You should never pay for anything made by Disney, Warner Brothers, or Paramount. You should never watch an ad served by Google or Meta. And you should never use Elon Musk’s child porn nazi machine or Sam Altman’s child murderer machine.

    Yup. There’s a large population of humans that really just objectively suck.

  He existed but he must never have actually bothered learning to do anything.
