Do you think AI can be boycotted out of existence? What benefits are there to not using it? There are benefits to being thoughtful to how you are using it, yes. But rejecting it is like...I don't know...rejecting a life saving vaccine. Accept it or die a slow death.

AI has middle management written all over it. Somebody will have to clean up
What will be different with AI is that white collar work will face the axe.
It's a bot!
you are part of the problem
You are not a working class person.
AI has already negatively impacted those who are. Just because it’s good for you, doesn’t mean it’s good for everyone.
there are cool people in tech but they're not heavy-hitters
To make money you need to prioritize it over everything else.
I am a writer, my husband is a designer, my oldest son is a comedian, my youngest is a musician - you cannot find a more creative family than mine.
GenAi is basically a long con, designed to
steal creators’ ip and investors’ money.
And I say this as someone who builds Ai platforms.
Having a degree in writing is not the same as living that life.

If you're not AI yourself, consider why you've failed the Turing test sufficiently I tried.
You want to help? Help my out-of-work friends who have had their art stolen find a way to get healthcare.
must be a shitty writer
also if you cant tell the difference between the complicated predictive text machine telling a joke and your comedian son telling a joke… well
What books have you written? Where are your kids’ SoundCloud/insta/tiktoks for their music? Where does your husband design?
Intent and context is everything.

Making shitty decisions
most people with common
sense wouldn't make
LMAO.
AI is trash! It gives the WRONG answer half the time, produces gibberish on a regular basis, depletes our natural resources while doing a completely unneccessary job THAT WE COULD HIRE REAL HUMAN BEINGS FOR FOR MUCH CHEAPER, and creates nothing of value!
?!?
Block on sight.
It's just generates shitty content at a truly staggering greenhouse gas emissions cost
Until such time as sensible legislation which protects humans from the negative externalities of the technology is passed (this will never happen)
Garbage in = garbage out
I would NEVER trust an AI suggestion for writing.
Call me when “AI” passes that same test. Until then, don’t need it, won’t use it.
It's fine to use machine learning for discovery and analysis, etc. but I don't understand how not using chatbots will kill me
AI, on the other hand...
AI is not the *cure*, Shery; it's the *disease*.
Especially when that thing is a digital medium.....
Worst analogy I’ve ever seen
People think we’re so close to true general intelligence, but the AI in mind just creates waste and encourages companies to replace humans with something that will never tire.
In 202X are these companies are scraping copyright work to program system & not getting there @#€!& Sued off for their thefts.
More immoral tech growth.
But it just bullshits what it guesses is next, no actual goal or intelligence. Over-hyped, but has uses.
Honestly I'm surprised they bother generating new ones at all lol.
LLMs are language analysis not factual based. That’s why they fail so often. AI researchers understand that and are working on it but it’s harder.
We can reject genAI.
Maybe it can't be boycotted out of existence, but we can sure as hell refuse to use it while we legislate it out of existence.
please fuck all the way off with your lies and misinformation
That's not life-saving.
(also congrats on not only being the Main Character, but doing it on christmas day lol)
which you're supposed to do, in case that wasn't clear.
also, you don't want to give up an arm for Dr. Frankenstein's 'artificial life' experiment.
this isn't hard folks: don't outsource your mind.
It's wholly unnecessary and probably fine until it's unpredictably horribly damaging
As, like, best-case scenario
The slow death comes from blindly embracing a product that necessitates opening coal plants to scale.
Smaller carbon footprint. Basic factual accuracy. Using my brain. Producing something original. Respect for copyright and intellectual property. Students thinking for themselves.
Basically, the benefits of being human.
It's just massive scraping technology
It hasn't even abacus level logical capability

The LLMs and art scrapers ain't it.
Check this out, for example
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0092867424010857
Is a different debate for me
This is a stupid analogy.
Have you read your own bio? How does what you're doing right now reflect that?
What does AI vaccinate me against? Being infected with creativity?
It steals real work and spits out garbage all so rich fucks can make money without having to pay creative people to make it.
I'll just focus on this. Everything. Because of the way our brain works, if we don't individually actively work out problems in our own heads, we will never create the neuron connections that give us the knowledge imprinted in our memories.
"Fuck you, pay me."
They steal - as in literally ingests and regurgitates our work without consent or compensation - work from artists and creators like myself and you're telling us to just accept that.
That's never going to happen.

It's all a con, a war on workers and the planet, pushed by the worst and most dishonest people alive: Altman, Thiel, Cook, Huang, Zuckerberg, Nadella, & dozens more.
If that isn't achieved, an 'ai'-free humanities will have to be forked &founded, without those people, to rescue whatever's left of human accomplishment & ability.
More importantly, there are many, many disadvantages to using it. It's not faster, it's less accurate, it's more likely to include errors, it stops people learning, it's theft, it costs a lot, and more
But yeah, the sustainability stuff is why I refuse to touch chatGPT. Open source AI and tech with no mothership is the only smart choice for making useful tools.
That's pretty messed up you know.
LLM-based AI is just churning out demonstrably incorrect slop, stealing copyrighted material, filling the internet with shit *and* contributing to global warming with its insane energy demands
There you go, a list of benefits of not using it
https://endpts.com/first-ai-designed-drugs-fall-short-in-the-clinic-following-years-of-hype/
It hasn't worked out yet.
Unfortunately, the hype is blinding people for seeing the astronomical progress in bioinformatics and cheminformatics.

BenevolentAI also uses large language models (LLM) to identify biological targets.
They use other forms of AI, too.
There's probably an intern whose job it is to check the suggestions actually exist 🙄
This is not what they're doing.
They're not intelligent, artificially or otherwise.
It's a shortcut for people who lack creativity to create marketable content.
Artists make art.
They don't need machines to do it for them.
You had better get with the program.
No. We ain't gotta accept shit.
It's like teflon: it can sort of make your life more convenient, and it definitely has some useful applications, but it is also a slow poison that is hard to get rid of
No
> ..Rejecting a life saving vaccine. Accept it or die a slow death.
This is absurd.
Also this is somewhat constructed in the form of "Prove to me that it is not."
AI is doing none of that
It's snake oil.
However I would certainly advocate for more tax and redistribution.
idiots tend to believe they know best, they are just loudest like a broken wheel, don't let them dictate your life.
Fuck AI, burn it all to the ground. Don't try to save it, salvage it or anything like that.
Rebrand any useful things away from the phrase 'AI'. Its poisoned and no one but weird dirtbags want it.
Get it?
Hope this helps!
