Were there a god above, Minecraft would have adopted semantic versioning by now.

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.

thin-tv-head with a lemon-inspired face on the screen. he's hopping over a wall and wearing a yellow tie. he's wearing a blue suit and a cyan hat. he's holding up two fingers in a peace sign. his collar has two leaf-like structures.

Screenshot from TModLoader displaying 2 items in the top left. The leftmost item is a blue flower based on a lily. The other item is a 3-stringed golden harp with pink and blue string.
The bottom reveals the crafting recipe of the harp: the blue flower, a pink flower based on a lotus, a Dark Shard, and a Light Shard, at a Tinkerer's Workshop.
