there is something so profoundly radicalizing about the AI bullshit--not that it's a scam (that seems standard for new tech these days), but that the push has been towards the kind of work that people _want_ to do, solely because it represents the kind of talent and humanity tech bros can't control.
there is no need for computers to make movies, write the news, write fiction, write or act at all. we have problems, but "no one wants to create art or be a journalist" has never fucking been one of them. it makes me so goddamn mad that i can't think rationally about "AI" at all.
It feels like these people don't know what art is for or maybe they just despise creativity. I have no interest in anything made by gen AI because art is communication. People have things to say that I want to hear. LLMs don't.
What they want is a picture of Rouge the Bat wider than she's tall with tits to match but they're too much of a fucking coward to ask an actual human to draw that.
I just become rabid at the mention of AI and I really have to curb myself at work as they put shitty AI art in the weekly newsletter and I politely have to explain why I think this is not cool
The only problem we have right now, according to "AI" zealots, is that people must be paid for creativity. They hate that. They don't value it, yet at the same time, will spend the GDP and resources of small countries to replace the human labor they devalue!
