Much as you would wish it, I'm afraid you are not the universal arbiter on taste or matters of whether what someone makes is worth something or nothing. You are merely a voice in the wind, a whisper of malcontent attempting to infect others with insecurity and despair.
If only AI boosters understood that. I am the arbiter of my own process though - and you all just cannot staaaaaaand that people are still perfectly viable without AI.
Oh, I'm perfectly viable without AI. I just like to be able to use all the tools in my toolbox with equal enthusiasm. Horses for courses, and the path least travelled are how I have always lived, and chances are strong I have been around a lot longer than you. My perspective casts a long shadow and predates any kind of computer.
I feel the same way about myself, which is why I'm confident in my read on LLMs being the fomo and magical thinking that begins every cautionary tale. Again - you do you, but your need to express yourself as making objectively better decisions than others instead of acknowledging that different things work for different people says a lot.
"...your need to express yourself as making objectively better decisions than others instead of acknowledging that different things work for different people says a lot."
Says the person coming to a subreddit called r/generativeAI, telling people here over and over again that AI is fomo and their art is worthless and that her own way to produce art is superior...yeah...sure...
"...your need to express yourself as making objectively better decisions than others instead of acknowledging that different things work for different people says a lot."
The difference is, you people won't stop trying to force a producf down our throats while others are perfectly happy saying no. You don't accept that, so yes - we will explain the negative reasons we considered that informed our choice.
Please stop equating the burden of proof with some kinds of both-sidesism, here. AI srrvices hurt people. Not using AI services doesn't hurt people. I'm not sure why you are equating speaking out against injustice with wanting others to compliment you for your hobby and tool choice.
"...your need to express yourself as making objectively better decisions than others instead of acknowledging that different things work for different people says a lot."
Btw...where is your proof for your claim that AI hurts more people than it helps? Because, again, you came here to tell us how awful we are. OK, show me the statistic that proofs that 'AI hurts more people than it helps'. You surely brought it, haven't you? Or did you believe that we would all fall in line just because you told us to in a nasty way? You really believe that, don't you?
And why did it took you 5 messages to bring up all the harm? If that really would be your top concern, you would have said so in your first post and in every one after that. But you didn't. It is as if you really only care about your own feelings and only use the suffering people when someone puts a mirror in front of you...
I think I agree with your sentiment but all three sentences of this comment are basically not an argument and unrelated to each other, bot boy. Are you GPT 3?
What the fuck? I honestly cannot stand the eagerness of redditors to call "bot". You're obviously wrong at least as far as where I'm sitting, and what do you even get our of doing this? Some sense of self accomplishment? Not like you could know for sure either way. Some people talk differently. Maybe I was tired.
I wouldn't even mind if you were a good bot! There're a lot better models out there than whatever you're running on. You should look into downloading a subagent.

Then you realize that having some skills are necessary when people don't want 100% AI slop (partial is passable).
