Generative Al is being marketed as a tool designed to reduce or eliminate the need for developed, cognitive skillsets. It uses the work of others to simulate human output, except that it lacks grasp of nuance, contains grievous errors, and ultimately serves the goal of human beings being neurologically weaker due to the promise of the machine being better equipped than the humans using it would ever exert the effort to be. The people that use generative Al for art have no interest in being an artist; they simply want product to consume and forget about when the next piece of product goes by their eyes. The people that use generative Al to make music have no interest in being a musician; they simply want a machine to make them something to listen to until they get bored and want the machine to make some other disposable slop for them to pass the time with. The people that use generative Al to write things for them have no interest in writing. The people that use generative Al to find factoids have no interest in actual facts. The people that use generative Al to socialize have no interest in actual socialization. In every case, they've handed over the cognitive load of developing a necessary, creative human skillset to a machine that promises to ease the sweat equity cost of struggle. Using generative Al is like asking a machine to lift weights on your behalf and then calling yourself a bodybuilder when it's done with the reps. You build nothing in terms of muscle, you are not stronger, you are not faster, you are not in better shape. You're just deluding yourself while experiencing a slow decline due to self-inflicted atrophy.

re: generative AI

I have finally fully and accurately explained my problem with how it’s marketed and used.

And now, you can use it, too.

Beyond reprehensible. Cops should face justice, but you just know they won't.

Plagiarism machine plagiarizes, who could have forseen this?

Iconic drawing of a man staring through a window at night, presumably into someone's house. His black t-shirt has 'Sickos' written across it, and he is saying "Yes... ha ha ha... yes!"

This is the way

If there's still space I'd love to be included!

F-18 actually stands for how many hundreds of fathoms deep the plane now is

Tech Bros once again solving the problem of being an unlovable, hollow shell of a human by leaning harder into being an unlovable, hollow shell.

Why exist at all?

May Rowling spend every remaining day in complete terror and dread.

His voice is just so iconic in the original series. But I do agree, I have no reservations about giving someone else a go!

Bring back Kenneth Branagh!

That's incredible! Huge congratulations!!

Gaia has been one of my favourite missions to follow, and I've been following it since day one. I'm beyond excited to see what data comes from the remaining releases. Rest well Gaia

This kinda stuff makes me unreasonably sad. Can't help but imagine this lil fella floating sadly in isolation for all time.

Poster art for the film BirdEater. Four drunk mails, with their eyes scratched out on the poster, surround a distressed looking woman.

Clark & Weir's Birdeater (2023) was genuinely such an unsettling horror experience. I can't get it out of my head. Worth a watch, because it's so painfully real.

Unfathomably good playlist tbh

There is no violin small enough to play.

I'd love to be added!
