I look at these works of art created by artificial intelligence and I think: yes, it’s beautiful, yes, it’s good, but… What’s the point? Where’s the story, where’s the work, if everything is so simple, then what’s the point? It’s no better than a store where you come and buy, although no, you come, take everything you need for free and leave. I don’t see any value in it, it’s just boring.

    you arent wrong. its regurgitating the answer without understanding the source material.

    like studying a tests specific answers to get a good grade, without learning what any of it means.

    its supposed to be cheap, and accessible. but comes off like…well…slop.

    the minute i see an ad, or “creative project” that employs it. i take a mental note to never purchase or engage with it.

    ive used AI a fair bit for things like checking grammar, searching the internet for sources, or asking general knowledge questions, logic traps, to see how it viewed itself, humanity, our future etc. i did this to test it, out of curiosity.

    the issue with AI is that if it doesnt know the answer, or isnt allowed to tell you, it will talk out of its ass. and attempt to logic its way through an answer. its the same with its “art”

    it has its uses, best used for small simple things like recipes, workout plans, practical knowledge (sometimes). but overall, at this point, in this current version of society, with the current ruling class controlling the levers. its a weapon of misinformation, propaganda, division, and is an essential weapon of the security state. its also used to undermine virtually every profession it touches.

    we simply are not ready as a society, a species. and those controlling it, creating it, deploying it, have no business being near it.

    in an alternate universe we took care of the planet, socialised every human need, and took care of eachother, and developed beyond monetary systems of economics. maybe in that world we would be properly prepared.

    but in this world. theres no fucking way this will turn out well for everyone. eventually the course we are following leads to our eventual extinction. not through AI alone, but through the total collapse of our ecosystems due to negligence and greed. eventually the bunkers and space stations will run out of food, and the ones that lead us here will find their karma.

    its a shame our extinction was the final “aha moment” for the rich to consider sharing.
