OP Turned Off Reblogs

I am so. fucking. tired. of AI being revered as some big fucking step forward for humanity. I’m tired of people acting as if it’s going to solve all of life’s problems, while turning around and using it to do the most mundane, creative, enjoyable and rewarding things.

oh? It’s going to solve cancer, complex mathematical equations, world hunger, economics, climate change? Yeah? But in the mean time, you’re using it to write books, newspapers, eulogies? You’re using it to make art, songs, clothing? All things which have always held inherent beauty due to the touch of humanity seen in them? It’s gonna solve world hunger, fix climate change, but in the meantime it’s used to generate brainrot images while its servers suck up so much money and power and water that it’s actively ruining the climate?

my mom is an author. A few months ago she found out that her books, and all books in the romance genre, were being fed to AI. To train its skills. She got no say in if her work was used for it

my dad got put in the newspaper, and he was excited about posing for the photo they took. Today he found out the entire article was written by ChatGPT.

my English teacher encourages us to use it to write poetry. To cite sources and make art.

when the fuck are people going to realize that it’s not funny? It’s not a joke? It’s not something to grin and present to someone, like, “I made this with AI! Look what it can do! We’re in the age of technology, and it’ll only get better from here!”

you can’t “make” anything with AI. You put that in there, you have no true hand in its creation. You are not an “ai artist”. You are an ai user, and a fucking ignorant person. being in the age of technology could have been a good thing. You twisted that by allowing the technology to take over the elements of your life you could have found the most happiness in.

it will not get better from here. People will rely on it like they rely on any crutch—to the point of muscle atrophy. The muscle in question? Their brain. And they won’t give a shit, becuase it’s making life easier. It’ll solve world hunger and fix climate change.

This just in! Koh the Face Stealer and Mask Maker from Hollow Knight are bitter divorced exs.

They didn't split over the whole face stealing/face giving thing either, they just kept arguing whether it was better to have many short legs or fewer long legs.

I just want to put out there that every time I see hermitcraft fanart it's always like

And then I look at their YouTube it's like

It's very funny to me as someone outside of the fandom.

Edit: you guys seem to really like this post lmao

Edit2: woah that's a lot of you!!

Edit3: GAH

Me meeting a genie: Okay, so my first wish is for 1000 dollars a day, deposited to my bank account without any way of tracing it to anything illegal. I want this money to come from the ten richest people in America (100 dollars each), withdrawn under the guise of nebulous, random purchases and surcharges. It would probably be best to split the money into a myriad of smaller fees, though, to reduce the likelihood of anyone noticing. Got all that?

Genie: um

Me, continuing on without a care: For my SECOND wish, I want you to give me the ability to learn any given phoneme, so that I can learn to pronounce new languages perfectly. If you're willing, it'd be nice if it were a little easier to memorize new languages too, but if that's not cool, I'm perfectly fine doing all the legwork myself I mostly just want to be capable of pronouncing things correctly.

Genie, now staring at me like I'm insane: ......okaaayyy?....

Me: For my third wish. I want to always have great ideas for gifts for people. Every birthday, every holiday, I want to be able to come up with something they'd really like, with enough time to actually get it for them.

Genie, just staring at me

Me: I can provide you with a written document if that would help.

“the sea doesn’t care about you!!” ok well just because the ocean is unspeakably powerful and can’t stop the rhythm she’s held for uncountable eons just for one person doesn’t mean she can’t love you. loving and changing are two different things. we wouldn’t have life without the ocean…. and yeah, if you don’t respect her and treat her cavalierly, you’ll perish. but how can anyone say the sea doesn’t mourn when she holds so much life and beautiful secrets in her belly? why are we putting atheism on the ocean that loves us?
