AI is so fucked. For so many reasons. Flooding us with slop and scams, destroying the usable internet, taking people's jobs, accelerating climate change, disseminating misinformation and fascist propaganda, violating people's privacy, hampering people's ability to think critically...
It's alsk being used to sexually harrass and exploit people. If you've ever posted a pic of a human online, some fucking creep could be making porn with it right now, without your consent. Pics of you, your family, your kids. And they try to convince us there are good use cases for it. \
What I find insidious is that they sell us this evil technology via funny little trends. Make a doll of yourself, Ghibli-fy your pictures... Or convenience, ai overviews, respond to emails for you... And the normies playing with it have no fucking clue they are being used to train it, to hone it.
And every time someone insists this tech is inevitable, don't fight it, it's here to stay, I just feel this pit in my stomach growing, I'm sickened by a world so apathetic and lacking in humanity. Fight this! Stop letting them kill your soul!
The world doesn't have to be this way. We don't have to indulge the cruelest among us.
Like do you think the people who casually play with it would feel differently knowing that by using it they are improving the technology used to generate cp? Should we just start telling them that point blank? Like, I know you probably didn't know this, buuuuut...
You're viewing a single thread.
AI isn’t “fascist propaganda” any more than the printing press was. They're blaming a tool for the actions of people.
Yes, there are serious issues: privacy, misinformation, exploitation; but reducing it all to “AI is evil” is lazy, alarmist nonsense.
They're not critiquing tech; they're moralizing to a crowd that already agrees with them. If you want change, start making arguments, not doomposts.
You haven't argued against any points. This is a long list of real problems with AI, and you simply dismiss them with "doompost".
And at no point did they say "evil". It's just vastly negative.
Read it again. They do call it evil lol.
- First sentence of their third post.
I didnt dismiss it as 'simply' doom posting,
- I agreed; there is a lot of serious issues at play here.
I did argue a point; my point:
- This is alarmist doom-posting. "REJECT THE INEVITABLE". Famous last words before getting trampled by the passage of time.
I'm sure the horseshoe makers, telephone switchboard operators, and scribes all feel your pain.
"REJECT THE INEVITABLE". Famous last words before getting trampled by the passage of time.
You don't even want to, though. Like, you're a scab. Why would I listen to a scab?
Jeff Bezos presents: Global Warming might be inevitable, but I will boil the oceans with my rage and bring them to the front doorstep of his escape bunker concrete coffin when the waters take me.
Lemmy when someone uses AI to get a cheap ($0.001), instant answer instead of spending 20 minutes wading through SEO sludge and AI-generated garbage designed to maximize page time:
“Nooo! It’s destroying the planet!”
Lemmy when someone powers Doom: Dark Ages with a nuclear reactor on a $20,000 RGB space heater:
“Based.”
Me, when I spend 20 dollars on a movie ticket:
"Wow, that was cool! Isn't art fun?"
Me, when I put 20 dollars in a toilet and flush it:
"Noooo! Spending money is bad! >:c"
Hey man, its your $20. Do whatever you want with it lol.
They say using it is contributing to the creation of CP. This is akin to claiming using/buying/improving cameras is contributing to the creation of cp as they use cameras to take the pictures. Should we have just not invented photography, printers, the internet etc just because it facilitates the creation and distribution of cp?
What I find insidious is that they sell us this evil technology via funny little trends.
Hot take.
The sad fact: it's lukewarm at best, but people are committed to reheating it.
