anyone who feels the need to specifically call out asexuals when telling people they should be against porn bans even if they're not affected will face my blade. stop equating asexuality to puritanism. stop equating sex repulsion to sex negativity.

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.

Illustration of Mira from Kpop Demon Hunters. She stands posing one hand with her glaive, and the other above her head. She looks cool. Her outfit is similar to her Golden outfit but adjusted slightly with dark and light glitter

The thing about AI and this mindset that it allows those who β€œcan’t draw” to draw is that is a lie. I taught college level courses on drawing and met multiple students who grew leaps and bounds in their drawing skill sets because they wanted to and took the time to try

Everyone can learn to draw

A fan art drawing of Kiki from Kiki's Delivery Service laying on a patch of grass with her arms behind her head, staring up at the sky as her red radio sits nearby. Her apron has been interpreted as a vintage-style patchwork quilt with the center patch design featuring a Jiji pattern.
