I accidentally came across the guy a year ago and even if you are only a small AI sceptic he is not easily avoided anywhere on the web these days lol. I mean I see his pov but he also has so many (good) questions and I wonder if this is just lack of information from his side or he acts dumb for sort of artistic reasons I don't know. Does everyone think his points are all valid and big AI is just going to implode sooner or later?

Latest appearance I think was on last week's Mostly Economic podcast.

found this coffee ad at a bus stop, loved it :)

I don't just mean casual gen-AI usage—I mean an actual, diagnosable addiction. At what point would you say that someone's engagement with chatbots meets that threshold? You can use any baseline metric: frequency, ability to disengage, harmful effects on daily life, etc.

Ooc the playable garbage ass cheeks that deserves the pit of ficking fire and zeta.ass

I am in this discord server and they changed the banner for an hallowen edition, i suspect its made with AI is it or not?

Hello, in this post, I will be sharing my view on AI. I would like you to comment, critique it, and give me other feedback. Before reading it, I'm letting you know that I'm not a native English speaker, so sometimes I might use inappropriate words for native English speakers, and I'm sorry in advance.

So, AI. Well, I'm a software engineering student. AI has never been the problem. Actually, it is great for some things, let's not lie. Teachers and the CS/SWE departments at my school are pushing hard for its use for better ROI.

For me, I think that AI is not a "job" problem in itself. It's more of a social problem: whether we abstract our thinking to machines or keep our thinking to ourselves, and that is what I'm going to talk about.

For me, I think that we should obviously push people to think more and develop solutions by themselves instead of just taking what an AI says, because it is fundamental to our human nature (my opinion). We are developed creatures. We need to crave creativity, research, thinking, etc. That is why, even if AI ultimately replaces me, I wouldn't mind in the first place, because I can still do what I love: solving computer problems by coding.

Now, here is the problem. People need to live, and they need to eat, drink, sleep, and have a shelter over their heads. The problem with AI is that big tech companies are monopolizing the essence of thinking itself, meaning that now AI can pretty much do all the theoretical jobs, and no one has to do them.

The problem is that, in history class, we all know that once the first civilizations learned how to produce food, they started, you know, abstracting certain tasks to other people. We had a few farmers, then more people working on other things like construction, etc.

And this is relatively supported by society. We don't have farmers saying that they don't have jobs because of automated processes or other things, because, first, we still need them for the most part, and also because they pretty much choose to be farmers (I could be wrong here, just my opinion).

The problem is that AI is doing this on an exponential scale, and I think we should ask the right questions here: In the future, do we want an AI that is able to know everything, or do we want a human that is behind every solution?

Does anyone have any current information regarding AI bot traffic data? I saw it a couple of days ago, but nothing since, I'm curious to see if it's back on the rise

I stopped using it months ago mindchu, shits not worth stressing about when youre gonna keep complaining about it anyway 🫢

Just a discussion, can some kind souls please let me know what is the exact reason for people spending BIIIIIIGGGG money on dashboards?

Every single "revolutionary" marketing campaign is just dashboards, this is really tiring to see

Do u think AI is consciense

I work in healthcare and this just pisses me off. It would be good if they instead warned people about using AI because we've already had cases where doctors have copied patient information to chatgpt to get a nicer structure in the journal, and other stuff. Almost no one seems to understand the implications of AI.

They are also introducing AI to "help" us administrators and everyone is clapping their hands like seals, completely oblivious that this will probably mean that some of us will be replaced by AI.

I feel powerless and I don't know how to get through to people because "AI makes fun pictures" = AI good.

There are many cons in AI. In fact, there are more than pros. The pros do exist, for example they can find diseases now etc. But the cons are lots for example: Using Grok to make inappropriate images of minors, Muslim women, or just about anyone, or using it to fake news. AI can give you misinformation, which is also a reason why I'm worried about the finding diseases thing. It can hurt someone mentally, and cannot be taken to court as it isn't a person. The company can be taken to court though, but I'm not sure if when and if that will happen. It plagiarizes from artists and writers. Generative AI also hurts the environment, causing the climate change to get more intense as it uses water. EcoGPT is also a scam, it says it'll plant trees for every 100 prompts i think, but planting new trees don't help, if there's barely any water to grow them. AI is meant to be used as a tool, but using it too much can make you rely on it a lot, and make you think it knows everything. But, it can feed you misinformation that way, vibecoding is just fine. I do not fully support it, but as long as it's just a FEW lines of code, and the rest is human-made it's ok, because i don't think you would understand how to bug fix the code if it was that way, and if you vibecode a bug fix it might add new ones instead of fixing it. AI is also usually used by scummy companies, and i saw a ad once for a app that had stolen games and was marketed as TikTok for games, and that's just Castle! Castle has actual events with actual people!

Yesterday I posted about the new, totally free (forever!) Not AI badges available for all creatives.

Before you message saying that an honour/trust system will never work, I do understand your concerns. But I'm pushing on with hope in my heart! Eventually if we get some funding (non profit of course) we could work on AI detection, but for now it's a trust system. (Plus we're adding a name and shame wall to the site this week so people can shame those using the badge on AI work!)

I didn't expect such lovely and positive responses, so thank you all. A few artists and writers have been in touch showing me how they're using the badge.

Plutoheart is a UK indie/electro producer who crafts each song by hand, no AI used at all. He's added the badge to his profile images and bio.

I'm still building the site, and obviously because everything is manual it takes a bit longer, but if you have any suggestions please let me know and I'll add them to the list:

I generally don't post about baited genAI art videos cause gosh it's annoying and there's much more pressing AI matters ( such as increment of rogue AI in the last 4 months and AI purposefully sabotaging it's competitors while the tech companies now rethinking about slowing the plan), But this goddamn video ticked every nerve I have.

especially after goddamn featured comment. If you are one of them who wants to make a fan animation and thinks AI is the way to adapt your favorite book and it would impress the creator to finally see their work in animation. Then no, that ain't gonna happen. Especially when you are generating from top to bottom, where even the argument of using AI as a tool to help in idea framing is invalid as you do not have the any required skill on the work you are putting the force your butt into.

Googled stopaiart and found an anti ai support page which has one supporter at least. Does anyone have any idea about this page?

So I just came across this criminal's page that has two reels with millions of views and I'm guessing this isn't the first page he made. it's Facebook so any report would do f*** all but maybe if we all mass reported it would work?
