I don’t hate AI itself, but the amount of AI slop ruining the internet gives me a negative feeling about it whenever I see it. I used to enjoy fucking around with the early pre-2021 GANs, diffusion models and GPT3 playground before ChatGPT was around and actually liked the crazy dreamlike nonsense they made, but now it all feels like dead soulless crap getting used to replace humans. Probably going to get super downvoted for admitting to ever liking AI image gens lmao
I like non-generative AI. Early artificial life sims (e.g cellular automata) are super interesting, and machine learning and xAI are great for science.
Just not that big a fan of the infinite slop machine helping the rich get richer at the cost of degrading our knowledge base and arts
AI reviewing medical imaging/labs and flagging abnormal findings for review by a doctor is awesome.
AI spamming social media to push fascist propaganda is not.
Your second paragraph is spot on. Exactly what is happening.
