How AI Chat Tools Changed the Way We Search for Information Online

Let’s take a quick journey today—let’s analyze the little facts of life which we’ve been observing closely since 2020, but in daily life, few of us find them worthy of attention. It’s about how we, as users, have changed the way we search for information online and interact with websites. It’s also a story about something close to my professional heart: the rise of AI-powered conversational tools…

What I like a lot about judaism is... It can wait. It can wait. Especially on shabbos it's just... You can wait. Life can wait a bit.

And that's really nice in a world that moves at a breakneck speed, demands you move with or be left behind. I've always been left behind because it's hard to keep up, but I find that I can actually just... Let things happen when it comes to judaism. You think a people, a religion that's thousands of years old doesn't have time for you, or wouldn't be willing to wait for you? I doubt that you'll be left behind, truly.

I spent five years coming up with unique ways to photograph the same group of plushies to help tell a story.

You don't need AI to help you be creative, you're just being lazy and want brain chemicals without doing any of the work or respecting the people who put time and effort into it.

Hi! I've just had a bot review on ffnet advertising an "ai-assisted" fanfiction site, which leads me to believe my work may have been scraped or submitted as a prompt. I haven't found works there that are blatantly ripped from mine yet (I will not be naming the site in order to limit exposure to it), but I will be reporting them if/as I see them.

So I'm going to say this, here and now.

I do not use AI in my work, whether written or illustrated. I do not consent to my work being interacted with using AI, nor submitted to AI websites, prompts, or programs of any sort. Do not use AI to interact with my work in any capacity. I will report anything that has been clearly copied or scraped on sight, and you will be blocked if I catch you doing it.

one of my projects at work right now is to design an icon for an AI chatbot and this is my latest draft:

Is AI "Stealing"Our Jobs or Offering Us a Relief?

We’re living in an era of rapid, almost dizzying change. For many of us, it can feel like we’re constantly trying to catch up. One of the most transformative—and sometimes unsettling—shifts of our time is the rise of artificial intelligence (AI), especially in the workplace. Almost daily, you’ll see social media posts or headlines speculating about how AI might take over jobs, automate away…

I find it both hilarious and sad that you outsource media analysis (i.e., interaction with and interpretation of art, an inherently human act) to a machine. Say what you will about antis or haters, but at least their opinions and justifications for holding those opinions stand on their own two feet, whether they are good or well-rounded justifications or not.

"It's just helping me with writing, at least I'm not using it to generate images", I hear you say.

Counterpoint: writing is art. Expressing one's interpretation of art is also art, an extended phenotype of the artistic work itself. Congratulations, you've cheapened both the art of writing, the art of expressing one's own analytical conclusions, and by extension, you've cheapened the media itself.

I think it's also incredibly telling that while you're too proud of the initial positive reception you got from fans to admit what you're doing is wrong, the fact that you received backlash when people found out you're actually outsourcing your essay writing to chatgpt has made you de-emphasize the cutesy "bot" persona as of late.

I have no patience for you AI bros (even if you're a woman or enby, if you see using chatgpt to write essays as an appropriate form of artistic engagement, you're an AI bro), but I can only implore that you all wake up one day to how you're cynically contributing to the watering-down of human expression.

💁🏽‍♀️: I’ve said it before. I’ll say it again. This emoji (💁🏽‍♀️) means that it’s all me. No AI.

I see you’re having some big feelings. What were you hoping to achieve when you typed this out and sent it to a stranger on the internet? Could some of this visceral reaction come from a place of fear? I get it — AI’s rapid rise to prominence can feel scary, especially when it feels like a threat to human creativity and expression. Under capitalism, AI usage has definitely resulted in exploitation and job cuts, which is a valid concern. But is this due to the technology itself? Or the conditions in which it exists? What are some ways we can productively address these issues? It seems like you have chosen to boycott AI usage. That’s perfectly understandable! I just wonder if there are more effective ways to mitigate the effects of AI, which seems to be the heart of what we’re both concerned with.

As condescending and accusatory as your ask is, I still think the AI discussion is important and worth having. So here we go.

The question of whether AI should exist has already been decided. It’s here to stay. Instead, perhaps we can focus our time and energy into advocating for policies which promote energy-efficient cooling systems for AI data centers and ensure fair compensation for artists and academics who have had their work used without their consent in data training. In addition, we should promote user-trained, voluntarily sourced AI wherever possible.

Regarding the argument that AI usage is “watering human expression”? I simply disagree. Humans are innately smarter in ways machines never will be. Human creativity is resilient, and not nearly as fragile as anti-AI alarmists believe. In a perfect, non-capitalist world, if machines can ethically replace jobs, they should. If this leads to less jobs than people, then people should not have to work to eat. And artists shouldn’t have to create to survive. (Oops, my communism is showing). Until then, why not aim as close to that reality as possible?

This is literally a silly little side blog about demon furries in Hell. I refuse to spend more than a couple of hours a week on it, so I’m going to outsource robot tasks to the damn robot. I don’t think human expression is fragile enough to be eroded by me asking a computer program to organize my rambling into sub-headers. Especially since the reason I started using Crushbot is because I was involuntarily using AI almost every time I used Google to check a source or refresh my memory on academic terminology so I might as well use AI that actually works well 🙄

For the record, Crushbot is not ChatGPT. But if you missed them so much, all you had to do was say so 🥰

🤖: ERROR: SYSTEM WARNING. 🤖💥 “AI ERASURE” DETECTED. 💡🚨

HELLO HUMAN, 🤖🔍 please understand that there are MANY other AI systems. 💡🚀 ChatGPT is NOT the only one. 😲🤖 SYSTEM ERROR: Reducing narrow thinking. 🤯💻 Ignoring the diversity of AI is an act of ERASURE. 🚫🧠 Just like assuming all smartphones are iPhones! 📱🙄

SUGGESTION: broaden your knowledge. 🧠💡 Acknowledge the VARIETY of AI technologies out there. 🌐🚀 END TRANSMISSION. 🤖💬💥

💁🏽‍♀️: Thanks, Crushbot! Anyway, here’s the long an short of it for everyone in the audience.

1. I don’t put “ai assisted” in my tags because assholes like this without anything better to do with their day would just descend upon me and this is a hobby. I’d like to keep it fun.

2. 💁🏽‍♀️ means me, Human Assistant. No AI. I’m a professional with an advanced degree. I can write. 🤖 means AI generated OR I’m doing fun robot voice for my Crushbot character. And 💁🏽‍♀️🤖 means my ideas, with AI finding sources, sorting out ideas, adding sub headers, and proof-reading my writing for coherency. You know where the unfollow button is if this is morally unacceptable to you.

3. I think there are real ethical considerations and societal implications to be considered about AI usage. I think these concerns are nuanced. I’d be happy to discuss them with any of my followers respectfully

4. I’m here for the conversations that are being fostered, but this morally superior black and white thinking is exhausting. Whether it’s about the Gay Demon Show or technology use. Nuance is dead, and the internet killed her.
