#so fucking STOP using ai

[houseofcrying]

jumping on this trend😁

AI trend pissed me off so bad that it made me get out of my drawing/painting slump

Not to preach to the choir but I wonder if people generally realize that AI models like ChatGPT aren't, like, sifting through documented information when you ask it particular questions. If you ask it a question, it's not sifting through relevant documentation to find your answer, it is using an intensely inefficient method of guesswork that has just gone through so many repeated cycles that it usually, sometimes, can say the right thing when prompted. It is effectively a program that simulates monkeys on a typewriter at a mass scale until it finds sets of words that the user says "yes, that's right" to enough times. I feel like if it was explained in this less flattering way to investors it wouldn't be nearly as funded as it is lmao. It is objectively an extremely impressive technology given what it has managed to accomplish with such a roundabout and brain-dead method of getting there, but it's also a roundabout, brain-dead method of getting there. It is inefficient, pure and simple.

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.

What is your opinion on people using generative ai to make art

Completely disinterested in every aspect of the discussion & in the tools themselves

[castielsprostate]

i hate you generative "ai", i hate you "ai" chat-bot that never understands a question and keeps you in a loop without connecting you to a representative, i hate you "ai" replacements for normal interactions and behavior, i hate you "ai" that's been made by techbros with the intent to make more money instead of actually helping people and systems that could benefit from the technology

[a-candle-maker]

not tagging the person bcs i don't want to call anyone out but like,,,, saw this one girl and her post formatting made it even look like a chatgpt generated thing... checked her other stuff to see and they all had that one formatting... thought i'd tell her and like. babe. you turning off asks just about confirms it for me, i mean imma just guess that you noticed lots of asks telling you the same and decided we're sooooooooo mean!! and ignored it

[jobazzle]

book fandoms (namely booktok tbh) are so disappointing like why are you typing character descriptions into chat gpt so it'll generate pictures of the characters STOPPPPP PICK UP A FUCKING PENCIL AND DRAW OH MY GODDDDDDD WHAT HAPPENED TO FAN ART

[psymachine]

a bit confused about the idea of withdrawing from the sunny fandom because of the ai promos (said with absolutely zero malice or judgment because you should leave a fandom whenever and for whatever reason you damn well please)

just like. my fanart isn't for rcg. i don't draw this shit to stroke rob mcelhenney's ego. my sincerest wish is that they never even see it lmao. i draw this shit for me and for you guys, only.

idk it's genuinely so interesting to see how differently people think about fandom!

[thesparrow1996]

i don’t think anyone believes your brain is literally atrophying so much as finding it a cause for concern that llm usage provides an easy alternative to independent thought. i find this post so insincere.

it is also a little absurd to invoke roko’s basilisk as a means of discrediting discomfort with the rapid encroachment of “artificial intelligence” into day to day life when its increasing presence in our culture is entirely motivated and funded by people who have bought into the concept.

[squircatlies]

Stop using character ai!!!!!

Find another equally unhinged soul to role-play with, like god intended.

AI can't replace humans in language learning or even translation

Google translate is already only really useful in a pinch

Because here's the thing: you need to under culture as well

Take Japanese for example:

It has multiple levels of politeness. You can learn all the words and grammar just fine, sure, but without understanding why, when and for whom you are using which? Doesn't really get you anywhere

We all know there are many ways to say "I" in Japanese. That's largely dependent on who you are talking to and what your position in relation to theirs is

I thought "watakushi" was just a different way of saying "watashi", maybe depending on the region (like "atashi", which is mainly used in Tokyo and female coded)

But it turns out, "watakushi" is polite language, something you'd use towards a client or customer

There are different words for things like directions in polite language as well

And while it sounds complicated, I'd argue most languages do this. You speak differently with a client than you would a friend

But it's still something you need to know. While your friends may not care as much, a client or potential employer can absolutely be put off by it

That's why it doesn't really help to just repeat words and phrases

Culture and language are intertwined

English is used differently by every country, every region where it's spoken as well

Every time someone makes the studio Ghibli chatgpt portrait, an angel loses their wings

You've made your choice, but we'll miss you posting on DA

deviantart made the choice for me, unfortunately.

istg this ai bullshit is getting out of control :(

[the-tenth-arcanum]

I haaate it that it's getting so hard to tell when art is ai generated. I've seen a painting three times on my dash now and my first thought was "this is nice" and my second thought was "is this ai" because it had a slightly odd vibe. and I googled the "artist's" name and ended up on the original instagram post and sure enough the op wrote "this is ai generated! :)" when someone asked about the artist. what's the point then. what's the fucking point.
