#AI

AI is improving, they said. It can even translate, they said. It can even do Welsh, they said.

The “average person eats 3 spiders a year” factoid is false. The actual number is zero. The myth persists due to Spiders Georg, an outlier who lives in a cave and consumes over 10,000 spiders daily. He should not have been included in the statistics.

“average person eats 3 spiders a year” factoid actualy just statistical error. average person eats 0 spiders per year. Spiders Georg, who lives in cave & eats over 10,000 each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

The bar was so low it carved a groove in the floors of Hell—and still, you limboed beneath it in heels, all poise and poison, twirling past the Devil with a wink he’ll never forget.

The bar was so low it was practically a tripping hazard in Hell, yet here you are, limbo dancing with the devil

Lots of thoughts recently. Everything feels plastic.

I could go on and on about why all that AI "art" is bad. I could mention theft, lack of creativity, it's impact on the work field and environment, but countless people have already said all that. I wanted to touch on something that to me is the most utterly wrong about all of it.

Art is more than just something pretty to look at or listen to. It's therapeutic. It's a form of communication. A tool for human connection. It's a pure, human need.

Support real artists ☀️

You know AI guys are living in another reality bc the amount of terror I would feel if a computer sent me, unprompted, an image of a blank-expression copy of myself trapped in a endless hallway of mirrors is frankly indescribable

I experimented with it back before everyone knew how evil it was, and no matter what I asked it, it would fuck it up. I would ask it about things I knew, and it would just get it stunningly wrong.

And then I would ask it why it did that, and it would be like, you're right, that is wrong, it's actually...

And it would still be wrong. And it would just go in a loop of always being stunningly wrong in one or multiple ways. This was years ago.

Anyway, it seems it's still doing that (see the link). And it doesn't seem like it's possible to stop it, because of how AI works. I don't think generative AI is about making a good product, I think it's about making a few people even more despicably wealthy, at the expense of everything that's good and right and equitable and, quite literally, true.

it really is crazy how quickly people were willing to just let chatgpt do everything for them. i have never even tried it. brother i don't even know if it's just a website you go to or what. i do not know where chatgpt actually lives, because i can decide my own grocery list.

i’m going to hold your hands when i say this and i am only going to be kind about it once: ai does not belong in fandom spaces, ever. not in writing, not in art, not in video, not at all. it does not matter how bad you want to see your favourite characters kiss, or how much you need a bit of help finishing a chapter, or whatever.

make friends with artists. commission somebody. learn to draw yourself. ask for a beta read. try a writing partnership. fandom spaces are communities, so engage with them! it is about the journey and the fact that we all love something enough to create and build together about that thing.

spending 30 seconds to kill a tree and get an AI to push out some soulless empty piece of “content” is antithetical to the entire point of being engaged with fandom, and if you’ve taken to doing this you should really reconsider if you belong in these spaces with the rest of us.

We stopped teaching media literacy in schools.

We defunded library science programs.

We placed more importance on standardized testing scores than critical thinking skills.

We traded convenience for curiosity.
