My job has a bunch of training modules from one of the manufacturers we service that are all AI voiced. It's really disturbing watching these smearing avatars with their soulless eyes and inflectionless voices. O_o
This shit advanced our understanding of biology by 200 years in a single weekend. It'll help cure illness and prevent famines. If you're gonna go full jihad against solving sickness and hunger you're ontologically evil.
Unrelated but I caught up with K6BD recently and I’m really excited to see where the story goes. Your art is so beautiful and your style fits the narrative you’ve created like a glove 🤩
The luddites were largely viewed as folk heroes fighting for workers' rights... until the rich businessmen who owned the expensive looms in the big factories started a widespread PR campaign to associate the word with being stupid and backwards-thinking.
If AI has a million haters I am one of them. If AI has a hundred haters I am one of them. If AI has one hater it's me. On the contrary, if AI has no haters, delve into my grave because I am no longer among the quick and my hatred will be as robust as ever
If you ever used a virtual assistant, you’ve used AI. If your bank has ever flagged a suspicious charge and asked you about it, AI. Unlocked your phone with your face? AI lol.
Why on earth would I use a virtual assistant. Why would I unlock my phone with my face. Why is it that banks never catch the actual suspicious charges and I have to report those myself.
I think it's genre-dependent. Drum machines have their place in hip-hop and electronic music, and autotune can be used well (especially when it's used for effect, rather than just as a corrective tool.)
However, if you're making rock music, find a drummer. There is no substitute there.
There are only a small number of limited legitimate uses for LLM AI, and almost all of them can be handled better by smaller, more procedural AI instead.
In a TTRPG fan Discord I moderate on, there was one asshole who admitted at one point that they used all the freely shared homebrew to make a LLM for their own use. They were as stereotypical an AI bro as you can imagine. They were quickly banned for being an asshole.
People who try and argue for its use as a "tool" for creatives as if we don't have more or less 2 whole years that told us exactly how its being used and for what (its slop, its used for slop)

Value your human creativity and vision. Fuck off with this AI shit.
Write for humans, not web crawlers. Fuck off with this AI shit.
Write for humans, not the tone police. Fuck off with this AI shit.
Your "worst" drawing is a more genuine manifestation of your imagination than DALL-E's best. Fuck off with this AI shit.
AI that helps doctors and scientists make breakthroughs is good and should be supported!

I've just got a new laptop for work and it took me a good hour or so, to track down all the AI crap in the various software I use, to turn it all off.
Tools that let people get out of practicing and collaborating.

Refuse to call it "AI" when it's always just LLMs or even regular algorithmns dressed up fancy. The less mass marketable truth.
