Yet again, more proof that capitalism was never about "freedom" or "small government".

Honestly, y'all, I'm begging you. Take the time to think and learn for yourself. Even if it's just something casual like knitting or cooking. Exercise your brain. It's important.

Among the many reasons that gen ai is bad, don't forget that creativity is a power you have that requires upkeep and work. Every line you draw or write is something you created and that is an amazing thing.

"We have a new AI feature!" "With the power of AI..." "Our AI..."

I am going to abandon technology and start only inscribing things on clay tablets

[ai-is-cringe]

the reason capitalists love ai so much is because ai can not protest or go on strike. ai can not organize and form unions. ai can not criticize them. and if it does, it can be reprogrammed. capitalists hate people but love the labor they do, so when people can be replaced they do it without hesitation.

“i asked chatgpt—” well i asked the ceaseless watcher to turn its gaze upon you

much less alarmed by the 'cognitive impact' of LLM use than I am by the fact that so many people apparently believe your brain can atrophy or permanently lose function in the space of four months because you used fancy sparknotes to write a couple of essays

ALL ART IS GOOD ART

YOUR ART IS GOOD ART

YOUR 3AM SKETCHES ARE GOOD ART

THE EMBARRASSING THING YOU DREW 6 YEARS AGO IS GOOD ART

YOUR SAUSAGE-LIMBED BEGINNER PHASE DRAWINGS ARE GOOD ART

YOUR CRINGY "DESPERATE FOR A HAPPY ENDING FLUFF" FICS ARE GOOD ART (what no i never did that who told you that cough cough)

THE BAD SONG YOU WROTE WHEN YOU WERE 7 AND PLAYED FOR YOUR PARENTS ON YOUR TOY KEYBOARD IS GOOD ART

YOUR ART IS GOOD ART BECAUSE IT'S HUMAN

AI IS NOT ART

chatgpt is the coward's way out. if you have a paper due in 40 minutes you should be chugging six energy drinks, blasting frantic circus music so loud you shatter an eardrum, and typing the most dogshit essay mankind has ever seen with your own carpel tunnel laden hands

Finally some good fucking news

[ai-is-cringe]

we can't cede fandom creative spaces to this ai shit

I wish there was a way to completely OPT OUT of AI. Like you could set your ENTIRE Internet browser to NOT shove it down your throat.

When social media was getting big, you could just NOT get a Facebook or a Twitter. It was simple as that. You can't do that with AI.

Trying to find a job? It goes straight to an AI filter. Trying to look at art? Here's 100+ ai shit. Trying to look up who was in what movie from the 1980s? GOOGLE GEMINI IS HERE WITH THE COMPLETELY WRONG ANSWER!

Someone PLEASE create a way to allow people to get AI the FUCK OUT of our lives if we DO NOT WANT IT!

Unpopular opinion but if you don't enjoy the process you should find a different thing to do.

And I think this is true in general but now I'm talking about it in the context of AI.

If you don't enjoy making art and only care about the end piece and how it'll look and how much traction it"lol get online then making art is not something for you, find something you enjoy from start to finish.

Same goes for writing: if you do not enjoy writing and rewriting and then some more and instead want AI to write for you, being a writer is not something you should pursue.

Sure, not every part of creative process is going to be equally enjoyable but you should get satisfaction from solving the problems along the way and you should get a sense of accomplishment on your way of "making the piece yours" and you should have a sense of ownership once you are done.

None of these things will come from typing in a prompt into chatGPT. And I am sad to see so many people are missing on the opportunity to experience the joy of making something with their own hands and brains.

Just give it a try and if you don't like it don't do it again.

But also don't let the expectations of it coming out perfect ruin the fun you are having while making the thing. Because what if I told you this: having fun while creating is the actual purpose of the creative process, not whatever comes out of it.
