  • Why are people so afraid of AI?

    Humans have patterns and that is why they can be recognised by them. Authors have a certain writing style, their book are often about very similar things, musicians sing and act in a specific manner that makes the recognisable and few are able to truly reinvent themselves or their style. Is that a “lack of creativity”? Are they just inferior beings unable to break out of their bubble?

    AI is a tool. It can be used for good, bad and everything in between. If you see it as something one should fear, loathe, or despise, that requires a meme quip as a kneejerk reaction to anybody mentioning it positively, maybe use your own reasoning to come with a thoughtful answer, or if you can’t then maybe don’t.

















  • That output is what matters, because there’s no way for us to see the input. How are you going to know what words somebody used to generate an AI image?

    Slop to me is a simple, low-quality, repetitive output. So, it’s not just one simple, low-quality medium but many. Looks at this video for examples. Or just scroll youtube shorts after searching for anything Indian or even literally “omg look at this” for the search term and you’ll see what I’m talking about.

    If you have a hard time telling whether AI did it or not, it’s not slop.




  • Consoomers aren’t to blame. Why? Because I’m a consoomer myself and I know I’m not to blame. Not even partially. I am completely absolved from any blame because I’m a consoomer. Where does it say so? I say so. I will consoom for the economy and that’s how I participate in society.

    I buy plastic bottles because I’m powerless. I buy big tech products because I’m powerless to their advertising. I buy non-fairtrade products because, you guessed it, powerless. I leave the tap on while brushing my teeth because industry uses millions of litres more than I ever could making products for me to consoom. I am powerless! I can consoom anything I like, whenever I like, however I like, because I’m a weak pawn with no independence.
