AI could be such a neat, useful thing. But nope, capitalists can’t help themselves. Gotta use it to grift the internet with low quality content and steal from artists.

    even on reddit with all the techbros any posting of chat-gpt output, even when it would be funny and is relevant to the conversation just gets searing hate from everyone

    anywhere someone even gets a whiff of it, no matter how shitty and chuddy the comments, is just nonstop dunking

    excluding places where AI is actually discussed. but those places seem to be shitty and toxic now. like go to the various AI music subreddits it’s just full of shitty people. nobody is having fun

    they probably shouldn’t have gone gung-ho on the “we’re going to replace all your jobs and push you into ghettos to meticulously bomb with AI integrated drones until we genocide all but techbro billionaires and their retainers”.

      I think if techbros didn’t immediately start showering everyone with AI art (and companies didn’t begin using AI art so soon), then AI’s positive PR would have lasted longer.

      Unfortunately, they blew the gasket too soon and now everyone sees it for what it is.

        yeah. a certain reckless eagerness to basically force feed everyone this slop

        it’s because the sheer excitement at the thought of wiping out the entire workforce was just too much to bear.

          Some technro telling you to marvel at some eldritch man creature with a sagging smile and nineteen fingers probably doesn’t help the cause.

          Nor when you are some 20 or 30-something with a passing tech literacy and you keep seeing Meemaw post AI shit on Facebook saying “wow what a miracle” and it’s a picture of corn with Jesus’s face carrying a wounded marine.
