if i had wheels i'd be an ambulance type of conversations

It's almost like I would prefer if we took all this money being funneled into labor destroying generative AI and inshitification chat bots and instead we focused on FUNDING the cancer curing AI and the protein folding AI, and all the other things an algorithmic model could be used for to better us.

Stupid umbrella terms. I am so specific that I hate genAI and they go,“So you are against every tool, shortcut, and advancement ever!“ So exhausting.

artvaris.bsky.social•13 days ago

This, it's exhausting when there's always someone in the comments saying stuff like "automation has its place!" even if you are specifically talking about a certain A/I company and only that kind of genA/I

"But Ai does this good! And Ai does that good! And Ai helped with--"

OKAY THEN WHY AREN'T YOU USING IT FOR THAT STUFF? Why are you using it to steal from people? Why are you using it to replace jobs and scam people? Why is there so much good for Ai but you're the person using it to fuck over folks?

They can't understand how being against art theft is different from being against an algorithm that makes your work take less time. Both are called AI, but only one is taking money out of artists pockets.

frankly, AI lovers think we need that clarifiation to seem at all morally correct, while people who are anti-AI are educated enough to know that there are different types other than genAI. we knew it before them and they still try to squeeze some 'good' into a conversation abt fascism

For real! it's exhausting!

It's so frustrating to have to explain the difference between generative AI and the general idea of AI and Algorithmic Intelligence. GenAI is the new problematic thing.

What came before, like automation, doesn't tread the same ethical minefield as chatgpt

I have this problem even with my dad of all people. Like I keep telling him I’m all for the stuff that helps people and he gives me a look as if I just like to be thick headed. It’s fucking bonkers.

dorukgolcu.bsky.social•13 days ago

They have been intentionally conflated to weaken the arguments against generative AI

replica004.bsky.social•13 days ago

They keep missing the point... it's so hard to have a conversation with these people 😩

Venn diagrams can't exist anymore. Tunnel vision of thinking has plagued every aspect of critical thinking.

I tell ppl I'm for 'AI' when it comes to robots doing jobs that otherwise put workers in danger. But that's not what /this/ AI is about 🥴
