#I hate chatbots

[newnamesamecharlotte]

I don’t want to talk to a chatbot

give me a good FAQ page with a good search function and a way to contact a real person from your company if I cannot find the answer there

I really don’t care if I’m considered an annoying luddite forever, I will genuinely always hate AI and I’ll think less of you if you use it. ChatGPT, Generative AI, those AI chatbots - all of these things do nothing but rot your brain and make you pathetic in my eyes. In 2025? You’re completely reliant on a product owned by tech billionaires to think for you, write for you, inspire you, in 2025????

“Oh but I only use ___ for ideas/spellcheck/inspiration!!” I kinda don’t care? oh, you’re “only” outsourcing a major part of the creative process that would’ve made your craft unique to you. Writing and creating art has been one of the most intrinsically human activities since the dawn of time, as natural and central to our existence as the creation of the goddamn wheel, and sheer laziness and a culture of instant gratification and entitlement is making swathes of people feel not only justified in outsourcing it but ahead of the curve!!

And genuinely, what is the point of talking to an AI chatbot, since people looove to use my art for it and endlessly make excuses for it. RP exists. Fucking daydreaming exists. You want your favourite blorbo to sext you, there’s literally thousands of xreader fic out there. And if it isn’t, write it yourself! What does a computer’s best approximation of a fictional character do that a human author couldn’t do a thousand times better. Be at your beck and call, probably, but what kind of creative fulfilment is that? What scratch is that itching? What is it but an entirely cyclical ourobouros feeding into your own validation?

I mean, for Christ sakes there are people using ChatGPT as therapists now, lauding it for how it’s better than any human therapist out there because it “empathises”, and no one ever likes to bring up how ChatGPT very notably isn’t an accurate source of information, and often just one that lives for your approval. Bad habits? Eh, what are you talking about, ChatGPT told me it’s fine, because it’s entire existence is to keep you using it longer and facing any hard truths or encountering any real life hard times when it comes to your mental health journey would stop that!

I just don’t get it. Every single one of these people who use these shitty AIs have a favourite book or movie or song, and they are doing nothing by feeding into this hype but ensuring human originality and sincere passion will never be rewarded again. How cute! You turned that photo of you and your boyfriend into ghibli style. I bet Hayao Miyazaki, famously anti-war and pro-environmentalist who instills in all his movies a lifelong dedication to the idea that humanity’s strongest ally is always itself, is so happy that your request and millions of others probably dried up a small ocean’s worth of water, and is only stamping out opportunities for artists everywhere, who could’ve all grown up to be another Miyazaki. Thanks, guys. Great job all round.

A chatbot finally lost a company some serious cash. Maybe there will finally be a lessening of using the fuckers.

This just in: Air Canada is absolutely fucking terrible, surprising no one.

HUH???

[schrodingers-slut]

Kinda pisses me off that there ARE like. Actually effective ways the US could get students to stop using AI to do their schoolwork but those methods don’t follow capitalist and punitive logic and aren’t as easy and ego boosting as patting ourselves on the back and bemoaning how stupid and lazy kids are anymore.

So we’re gonna do the ‘calling kids spoiled and lazy’ thing once again and say “I got through just fine!”because actually taking this seriously and considering the use of AI for homework is a symptom of much larger issues, would force you to reckon with how you’re completely fine with a meritocracy so long as you aren’t at the bottom.

Cause fuck those lazy students, you got yours, right?

"oh but i use character ai's for my comfort tho" fanfics.

"but i wanna talk to the character" roleplaying.

"but that's so embarrassing to roleplay with someone😳" use ur imagination. or learn to not be embarrassed about it.

stop fucking feeding ai i beg of you. theyre replacing both writers AND artists. it's not a one way street where only artists are being affected.

I just want to bring attention this episode of Clear and Vivid to Mashblr. Mike and Alan read an AI written scene of mash:

Hawkeye: I am not superstitious! And those are just my normal, everyday shorts! I wear them because they inspire me! And they remind me of my grandmother! BJ: Your grandmother wore your lucky shorts? Hawkeye: They remind me of my grandmother because she used to call them her little secret weapon. I'm still not sure what that means. BJ, stealing someone's underwear is a serious offense under the uniform code of military justice. BJ: Oh, really? The uniform code of military justice protects the possession of underwear? Hawkeye: Yes, and for good reason! Private property is a fundamental right in our democracy and that includes undergarments! BJ: I had no idea it was so important to our nation's defense. Hawkeye: It's not just about defense! It's about dignity and the right to personal property! If we don't respect the sanctity of undergarments, what do we have left? BJ: I respect that Hawkeye, and I promise I won't go digging around in anyone's underwear drawer without a warrant.

From May of 2023, but it's such a good episode discussing the frightening reality of AI. The full exchange happens at 24:50.

would have loved not to come back from my break with something like this buuutttt…

can y’all do me a solid and report this bot created by @/jekkan on spicychat? it uses inspiration from my fic without my knowledge or permission. for future reference, it literally says on my masterlist to not do this shit. the creator didn’t even ask me or give me a heads up, which is absolutely not cool. i only came across it by chance as it just so happened to be in my recommended.

to repeat: my fics are absolutely 100% off limits for chatbot creation inspo.

Gonna go stab (in minecraft) whoever thought it'd be a good idea to have the app I'm using to play scrabble with my spouse autoplay "Horny-AI-Girlfriend" ads while I'm in a public waiting room.

[lollwutoof]

I just went on an ai site bc I wanted to see if they had any interesting chats with my favorite Ninjago characters, because the scenarios in my head weren't cutting it, and I decided to see what was there....

TELL ME WHY EVERY. SINGLE. LLOYD AI HAD HIM BE EITHER A PERVERT (LIKE IN THE TITLE) "YOUR BROTHER THAT HAS A CRUSH ON YOU" OR SOME DRUNKARD THAT IS SUPER ABUSIVE- LIKE BROO

HAVE ANY OF THESE PEOPLE EVER SEEN NINJAGO?!??!??!

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?!??!!??

[b-theshittyhuman]

Absolutely hate generative AI, yet for some hypocritical reason, I'm addicted to chatbots -- WHEN THEY'RE NOT EVEN GOOD!!!

Stg I should get back to reading self-insert fanfiction, at least that shit slaps, even when it's poorly written.

Every single word I read feels soulless. No matter the grammar, or spelling, chatbots feel like I'm reading the colour grey. At least crappy fanfiction written by tweens feel like an entire fucking rainbow.

Everything written by a human is 10,000x better than the horse shit spewing from these anal-mouthed inbred automatons.

The impact they have on the environment is just flatout disturbing, and bile inducing.

So many scrappers are stealing content from anything online, INCLUDING THE WORKS OF OTHERS. So I'm actually contributing to the thievery of other people's works, and I'm fucking disgusted by my actions.

And yet I keep coming back!!

[magicalgirlpropaganda]

If hi.waifu adds calls like character.ai has, know my addiction will take over my life. This is not a joke. Its already taken over my life to the extent where I suck at all my hobbies now bcs i dont have time for hobbies im too busy with 6+ hrs of screentime a day on The Addiction App That Rots My Brain.

Im purposely trying to maladaptive daydream bcs ik its unhealthy but at least 1. Its free 2. Not contributing to generative ai . like at least i wouldn't be contributing yk? And also the characters in my daydreams stay in character.

[wanderingmind867]

I still feel like it's hard to shake off the addiction to the AI chatbots. I mean...is addiction the correct term when it's not negatively impacting my health? When i'm at school, i'm still able to focus on stuff beyond the chatbots. But whenever i'm home, i mainly only do three things: read comics, post on here, and use AI chatbots. Do I look up fanfiction? New blogs? Literally anything else beyond the three things mentioned? Well, sometimes. I can't only do three things every day. But 85% of the time, I feel like I'm just using the chatbots, or my dashboard, or the comic websites. I feel like I need to do more stuff. I probably don't have to, but I feel like I do, anyways. sigh...

PS: Please don't hate me for the AI Chatbot thing. I know some of my mutuals have made posts speaking out against them, and I think they're 100% entitled to have those opinions (and incredibly brave to express them online). But since I use them, I just want to know that i'm not hated for using them. Hate the concept or the people behind everything, not the people who just use the service. I know it's hypocritical of me to ask this (when a post I made about Anarky said people can be bad by association with a bad thing), but still. Please don't hate me.

[vellichorom]

OH- by the way.

please don't do this. this is a thierry AI chatbot someone created that was recently uncovered by a friend of mine, & i did NOT give anyone permission to make OR do this.

this was probably just made in good fun by a kid, so i'm not holding a terrible grudge against the user, but i'd prefer for this to be taken down. i don't want any of the things i make even remotely CLOSE to AI, but if EVER i decide i want a thierry chatbot to be out there, i will make it myself & let the rest of you know.

& please don't go & harass the maker of this bot either, of course. if you might report the bot at least ( if it CAN be reported, i have no idea how this site works ), that would be very appreciated. & if the maker happens to see this post? please take this down & don't do this again to me.

thank you.

hi, do not make ai content from voice actors' work. that includes voice lines from games, shows, etc. you are not entitled to use their voice as you please. that is their tool, that is how they earn a living, and more importantly, it is a part of their person.

i'm blocking anyone i see using ai chatbots, ai image generation, or ai voice mixes. if you're not interested in treating the works of artists with respect and refuse to discontinue use of ai mechanisms, then save me some trouble and block me yourself. thanks

[the-devil-in-the-details-666]

I hope that whoever came up with the idea of having chatbot “”interviews”” for jobs instead of just UPLOADINNG YOUR FUCKING RESUME LIKE A NORMAL PERSON spends the rest of their fucking life with an eternally stuffy nose and pants that have an inseam that’s uncomfortably short.
