i was under the impression that were explicitly against genAI but i found that some people are actually VERY pro genai and quite dismissive of its risks. this happened on lemmy but i saw people getting downvoted for saying that genAI in its current state is harmful to the environment. i saw the old bullshit of how ”i use AI for art because i cant draw”, it was crazy. i called someone a Promptitute and someone unironically told me not to say that, just so much. so can everybody pls affirm you dont support that crap.
another user straight up admitted that they use AI as a friend and to gn to… i dont care how much we have in common ideologically, i cant support you gning to chatgpt and thinking its your friend…
I absolutely loathe generative AI and everything about it. As a software worker I’m kind of in the belly of the beast. 99% of my colleagues are clapping like seals at the most soulless diarrhea from a butthole fuck-ass slop images they’ve generated of our company mascot riding a canoe or whatever the fuck. Haha look at this photo I had gemini make to celebrate summer coming up, isn’t it fun? Every time I have to exercise herculean restraint to not roll my eyes back into my skull. I hate it. I hate it. I hate it so much. I don’t use it at all, ever, not because it wouldn’t be occasionally helpful in my work or whatever, but at this point purely out of spite. I just fucking hate it so much.
The one arguably maybe I guess good thing about this bullshit is that, ironically, it’s made me able to appreciate actual real human art much more. Like, I have a whole new level of appreciation for people that take the time and effort to make a 45 second mspaint sketch instead of having the nightmare engine hallucinate an image for them. Same with music that’s kinda shitty, it might not be GOOD good, but damn someone really made that shit with their own two hands, and that rules. Even just reading an email that has grammatical errors and ZERO em-dashes or emoji will bring a smile to my face, because at least someone fucking made it.
Ok but I hate that em-dashes are being wrecked by the nightmare engine, they have legitimate uses
when all the shit online and on tv is fake we might see a resurgence of community theater and small scale live music… if there are physical places to do those things
But I like em dashes and emoji—I’ve always used them as long as they’ve been around 🥺
Yeah – me too 🙁
wait is that an en dash? – idk man, whatever, still love them. Or used to, at least.
I’m curious, how’d you grow to hate em-dashes without knowing what they are?
I had to learn what an em-dash was because of llms and I’ll never forgive them for it
