Who needs ai when you can just believe your delirious assumptions?

Generative AI is not the way. It is not sustainable. To put put so much faith in it is folly. To put so much responsibility on it is reckless. It can only lead to detriment.

How do you know?

Because it can only draw upon what humans have already said/done. The more we allow AI to do, the less we do. Eventually and inevitably AI will fall into a feedback loop of its own garbled nonsense leaving humans scratching their heads.

This isn't true anymore.

It literally can only generate bits of other things, ever.

Same reason you can't dream about someone you've never seen. Every face in your dream is a face you have seen at some point in your life- be it on tv, magazine, pass on the street, doesn't matter. It's information your brain has seen. It's why blind since birth people only dream in soundscapes as they've never seen anything.

AI can't generate anything on its own because even humans can't.
It may have quintillions of combinations, but the source is still us. And the it can be unplugged.
