    but that’s just a matter of training! :3c

    I didn’t say I don’t like it because I’m bad at it. I just don’t like it. Like I don’t like gardening, cooking and any other amount of creative processes.

    ragebait or intellectual deficiency?

    Fuck you and the horse you rode on mate. What makes you think you can just call people “intellectually deficient” because they don’t agree with you? And then you have the gall to be offended by me asking you not to talk like an asshole?

    ai requires data. lots and lots of data. thus, you need reckless scraping to gather it. and it requires training. lots and lots of training! that requires large datacenters to do.

    I didn’t do it. I didn’t order it. I didn’t reward it. That harm was already done. Like a lot of the harm in society done by the personal electronics you use, the cars you ride, the food you eat and so on. Me using those things in a way that doesn’t sustain the system which built them, is very much not doing harm.




  • I think you essay writing needs some work but that’s just a matter of training/practice.

    Generally I think corporate Ai has plenty to answer for but as you said those are issues of Capitalism and the perverse incentives it provides. This is why we have the dead internet theory. People don’t spam out slop because they like it, they do it because they’re trying to survive or become rich.

    I hate how this has poisoned the whole technology that even those who try to use genai for the few ethical purposes it has gets lumped in with the spammers and the billionaires. For example I made a YouTube thumbnail for my obscure content I spent days building the other day and I got hate for it because I didn’t make shitty personal art for the thumbnail instead. Motherfuckers, I don’t like drawing art and this use literally harms nobody! People are just completely irrational about it.
