Funny. Every time someone points out how god awful AI is, someone else comes along to say “It’s just a tool, and it’s good if someone can use it properly.” But nobody who uses it treats it like “just a tool.” They think it’s a workman they can claim the credit for, as if a hammer could replace the carpenter.
Plus, the only people good enough to fix the problems caused by this “tool” don’t need to use it in the first place.
To elaborate for anyone reading this who doesn’t know:
Dogs are really good at noticing emotion in humans, better than they are at noticing the scent of contraband. When an officer wants a dog to alert, the dog picks up on it and alerts, even when there’s nothing there.
There was even a study where they would have a dog try to find out which packages had drugs in. When the officer was fooled, the dog was significantly more likely to be fooled too than when trying to fool only the dog. The officers responded by refusing to continue the experiment.
There are still things that can be done. Elon would really like it if you thought it was hopeless to stop him, because then you wouldn’t try. He is just a human. If enough people actually tried to stop him, he wouldn’t be able to resist.
For clarity, a lot of the things we can do to stop him aren’t strictly legal, especially with the law in the hands they are. Some of the ways that would work are ones I shouldn’t endorse in a public space. But we do still have options.
You seriously need to talk to people if you think that’s how people are. There are people with self-worth issues. There are people who don’t mourn their family. There are people who had body odor problems, and learned how to fix them, and will understand what you’re doing wrong and how to fix it with a sympathetic eye.
AI will respect you exactly as much as a rock will. It won’t. It won’t even know you’re there. There is no such thing as being less human than AI.
You are a part of people. You can pretend you’re not, but it’s only pretend. You’re better than that.
You’ve been spending too much time with AI. You’re starting to hallucinate like one. They only said “people”, not all that extra stuff you just assumed they meant.
I think a good step one would be to stop assuming “people” means “actually loved normal people who view anyone developmentally behind them as subhuman scum.” It could just mean people. You’re a person. You’re part of “people.”
There’s a lot of people who were where you are right now, and they struggled and pushed forward and grew into something not normal, but functional. They have a ton of advice they had to learn the hard way. And they are all too eager to give the compassion they were never given. They will teach you.
It’s not dada. It’s too coherent to be dada, and it’s too shit to be anything else.
In order for something to be an artistic choice, it has to be a choice. It has to have meaning and intent. AI did not choose to put a glass there, it calculated that there was probably a glass there based on shitty reasoning. AI does not have the creative capacity to make art. It can only make images, and those images are shit.
You’ve thoroughly proven you can’t tell between slop and high art, so thank you for the compliment of my critique.
