Naw, fuck AI.
Just, like, all of it. No more practicing chess against a computer. No more computer vision. No more single player Street Fighter. Fuck it all. It's inherently evil, we've decided for some reason. Clearly a nuanced and well researched position.
Ok firebrand. We all know what we mean by AI when it is spoken in conversation. It is shorthand for generative AI. If you want to be patronizing and pedantic, that's on you. We normal folks use shorthand and understand each other. Fuck AI.
That's why I initially brought up all those forms of AI that are perfectly fucking fine. But you're like, NOPE. So don't throw that in MY face. Perhaps you didn't understand what I was saying. But you were STILL like, NOPE. Which leads me to believe YOU don't even know what you mean when you say, "AI". "Generative AI" isn't a specific thing. It's any software that outputs something a human might consume as content. You just mean, "bad shit I don't understand" I suppose.
The problem is not the technology, it is that entrenched capitalists are leveraging their wealth and power to steal culture from all of us, and cynical investors engaging in the largest pump and dump in history. And if you can't make that distinction, your voice doesn't have a damn thing to contribute to this conversation other than "Naw, fuck AI."
I've been on the receiving end of a lot of moral panics and it's not okay. Naw, fuck pearl clutchers.
