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 itโ€™s marketed and used.

And now, you can use it, too.

a stylized illustration with the text "generative AI was never ethical". The piece features a black cat pulling cables out of the back of a robot. The robot has a conveyor belt attached to it that is pulling in packages that read "stolen art, stolen writing, stolen voices, stolen videos, stolen likeness, stolen photos, stolen books, stolen code, and stolen ideas." The piece is a reminder that generative ai was built on the backs of real artists, photographers, writers, and everyone else's creative expressions as humans in order to churn out slop to feed back to us.

Photo of 4 stickers.
Top left sticker: Black pictogram on a yellow background. It depicts a trash can and a human-like figure dropping the words "AI" and "ChatGPT" in the trash can.

Top right sticker: Black pictogram on a yellow background. It depicts a trash can and a human-like figure dropping the words "AI" and "ChatGPT" in the trash can. The right arm is stretched out and on it's end is the common sparkle emoji. The text at the bottom says "Please always separate trash from recyclable materials."

Bottom left sticker: a white fluffy cat with red ears. She is wearing a giant ribbon in blue and green around her neck. The center of the ribbon is yellow with the words "I have never used ChatGPT and I never will" in it.

Bottom right sticker: a dark grey cat wearing a giant ribbon in two shades of pink around her neck. The center of the ribbon is yellow with the words "No. 1 GenAI hater" in it.

4 panel comic

P1: a right hand draws a wavy stroke on a sketchbook page. A caption box up top reads "draw"

P2: the word "CREATE" dominates a panel with a black background, forming in the negative space. Various small shapes surround it.

P3: a lone simplified humanoid figure is on the bottom right of a another panel with a black background. A thought bubble forms above their head, the words "if not for others, then at least for yourself" within.

P4: The Earth dominates the bottom of the panel, with a sliver of space above it. Clouds swirl and boil across the Earth, which is the only element on the entire page coloured a pink-red. A caption box above reads "now, more than ever"

Parodie du mรจme de la sรฉrie "Invincible".
En arriรจre-plan on voit un data center engloutir de grandes quantitรฉs de carburant et d'eau, envoyant des colonnes de fumรฉe dans l'atmosphรจre.
Au premier plan, Miyazaki prononce la phrase du mรจme original: "Look what they need to mimic just a fraction of our power", tandis que Boulet rรฉpond un peu tristement: "I still wish they'd fuck off".

A screenshot of a visual novel style cutscene. The protagonist is a pink haired girl wearing a chunky hoodie with a CMYK colour palette. She looks off to the side. Next to her, is a sentient orb of light, who says "you seem concerned."

I always try to do something cool for AutismAcceptanceMonth. This year, my autistic pals and I secretly made a videogame - and it's out NOW!

It's part of a Pay What You Want charity bundle we've organised to raise money for the Autistic Women & Nonbinary Network. Pls share!

Illustration of an amorphous black blob with yellow eyes and small arms, surrounded by arms of grey people. The text says "And so, the Men in Grey harnessed the ancient magic of Greed and Envy, and with them they created a new monster."

Illustration of the same blob grown as a snake-like creature with a mouth full of teeth, wih the text "They disguised it as Technology and let it loose amongst humans, and they watched as the monster stole old nightmares with unreadable letters, inhuman glances and unreachable hands. It named them Art, and when people found nothingness where their souls should be it roared back, naming that nothingness Progress. "

Illustration with the black snake growing larger, with a row of grey men in suits looking at it. The text says "The monster grew larger and larger, and the Men in Grey rejoiced in cold and silent glee, as it consumed everything and in return gave nothing."

Mononoke hime.
Wanted to do a little mononoke fanart to celebrate the 4k release. The mood for fighting against the madness of men destroying the world for greed was there, but what a timing.
Won't dwell on AI shit.
Enjoy some human-made fanart.

Bluesky is ยซย justย ยป a technology and decentralized server thingy allowing us to post and read/subscribe. And we use client apps to consume and post, so maybe they will add this feature to the default client (bsky.app) or other clients will do it. (Hope Iโ€™m clear without too much nerd talk ๐Ÿ˜…)
