AI rant ???
Obviously the age we are alive and able to live in now is amazing, we have so much access to information and connection to others, but anything concerning or connected to the humanities (social, language, etc.) is something that as a society is slowly being removed from the hands of people and being replaced by AI.
As someone who does art (in school and out) it’s annoying to always have to prove that the art you made is yours and not AI. Or the fact that my art teacher last semester used AI to give the class feedback on some of our projects, like what the freak, as a traditional artist is this not something you should be against????
My social studies teacher was more concerned about us using it than the art teacher, and my ELA teacher (who also teaches social studies) brings up how some AI sites are censoring a lot more than others, in connection to certain events in countries like China (Tiananem Square) were when you ask about the event nothing about it comes up, whatsoever.
And the amount of AI being used to post news articles, or using the generative AI on google to get references and information, just put in some work and find the information yourself it will be worth it in the end because you’ll have a deeper understanding of the topic.
What’s worse (it’s not it’s just annoying) is it being used for art and books like wtf bro, those are something used as a creative outlet if you can’t do it yourself have someone do it with you, learn to do it, or don’t do it at all.
This is what started the rant ?? I guess
he actually said this in canon guys i was there
But seriously, why do we get grown people who believe in the WILDEST conspiracy theories about world control (From Antivaxxers, to Flat Earthers, to microships to evil electromagnetic waves the damn Atlantis and Reptiloids), but the ONE TIME we actually get some dystopian type shit for mass propaganda and controll... they just dont do anything. Like i swear (again), you`d think this would be such a FERTILE ground for the conspiracy fanatics to throw a fit and mass hysteria and DO SOMETHING GOOD FOR ONCE. But nope... they are in fact the ones believing those ai videos and pictures like they are real and reposting them as proof of giants and aliens. If someone started spreading some bullshit like: "The devil is infultrating childrens minds through ai and its evil secret hidden messages boOooOo to put evil spirits in their pineal gland and close their third eye" i would pray for their health honestly... ...Not because i`d think they are insane or anything (they probably are though), but because i`d hope they keep doing whatever they are doing lol...
My evidence that AI could never replace me.
Read ‘em and weep boys. My bullshit is one-hundo-percent human.
This is the second time I've posted about AI (once on spacehey) but this is crazy important. Please read the post even if you don't read mine. People underestimate just how much such an 'easy' thing requires.
I'm gonna be honest and say that I used to rely on it as a very lonely kid. But right now I'm doing everything in my power to avoid feeding the machine. Blogging, journaling, reading etc. the words of a real human are so much better than anything a bot could write, however cringey they might be. If everyone keeps on using things like this, so many more artists will be rendered powerless. So many will get hooked on the feeling of a real person and then start defending it. It may not be targeting you nefariously, it may help you in the short term, but its impact is absolutely terrible, and it leads to MORE pollution and MORE plagiarism and MORE reliance on bigger, better AI models. Eventually it won't just be roleplays.
Not to mention all the real people being made into (let's be real here, usually) smut bots. There is no person to track that down to. There is no way to message a creator and get them to take something down, and reports are kinda useless. I've seen <18 creators get bots made of them and it's terrible :(
AI will never be your friend. Please know that. It will never be your boyfriend or girlfriend or parent. I know it may be hard right now for some of you but I beg you to live real life. Read real books and get lost in them. Write your own stories about the life you wish you lived. If you can't find friends outside, try to find them online. Find communities. Live through music. TV. Anything. But AI, no matter how deep it may feel, is never real. It is a hollow shell of feelings people have felt before. It will leave you feeling more isolated and terrible than ever. If it takes our physical jobs, please do not let it destroy our creations.
Why is c.ai bad? Like genuine question
One of the main reasons you will see people giving as to why c.ai is bad is that much like all "generative" ai it's basically a copy/paste machine. The algorithm that runs c.ai is made by scraping the writing of millions of human authors in order to train the machine on how sentences and "romance" should be structured in order to appeal to the people using it. This is, by and large, just straight up plagiarism and authors like @/ceilidho end up having their content stolen by c.ai users in order to farm more bots.
If you don't care about the plagiarism aspect of c.ai bots then you should care about the environmental aspect of them. ChatGPT alone uses about 2.9 Wh of electricity just to run a single query, and the water used to cool the servers (again for just one question) is equal to about 3 16 oz bottles of water. Google reported their greenhouse gas emissions rose 50% in 5 years just due to ai use. 1 query can power a lightbulb for about 20 seconds, and every question is routed through a data center which uses even more electricity to answer the question. So you sending a chat to c.ai uses a massive amount of electricity, and for the bot to respond takes even more.
Not to mention data centers have to be built, which consumes a lot of resources and energy, and releases a lot of greenhouse gases. Then they have to be powered, which consumes more energy and more water, and releases even more greenhouse gases.
If 1 in 10 working US Americans asked 1 question every week for a year (52 x 17 million) that would use the same amount of energy that it would take to power EVERY HOUSEHOLD IN WASHINGTON DC (671,803) for 20 days. NPR reported on this as an "energy emergency" this is an unprecedented and explosive amount of energy being used very suddenly, very often, and by a lot of people.
Ok you don't care about that either, then let me appeal to you the person who uses c.ai. Maybe you love your favorite author's work and you really want to rp with one of their characters. Is the bot's ability to write that character really as good as the author's? Is it as satisfying? Or are you just caught up in the short-term dopamine rush of the rp?
Because I tried c.ai when it was first getting popular and let me tell you, it was nowhere near as good as the human role plays I was used to. There was no riffing, no plotting out where we wanted the rp to go, no standard reply length, I had to retry replies multiple times to get something even remotely close to something I could work with to respond to. There were filters, I couldn't use certain words or phrases. The bot couldn't remember anything past a few replies. It was BAD. The shot of dopamine I got after the first reply was gone by the time I was on the third one.
Now maybe I was just spoiled by good human rp partners, but I kept seeing people on tiktok complaining about the same problems. "How to break the c.ai filter" was a major issue. People wanted the experience of role playing or writing a fic, but they didn't want to put the effort into actually doing either of those things.
"Just let people enjoy things!" I hear you cry.
You go on c.ai because you're lonely, or bored, or because you think that finding a human to rp with is too hard or they won't like your scenario/kink/whatever. You are actively contributing to the expulsion of artists from fandom spaces and the destruction of the planet in equal measure. If all you care about is short term gratification, then go on the r/IWishIWasHer subreddit and read the rps threads there. If you actually want to roleplay with someone there are a million discord servers that do that. Hell, there are communities on tumblr that you could join and ask about roleplaying!
Relying on instant gratification will numb you to all the joys that creep towards you. If the only thing you can see is the object in front of you, then you're never going to reach for something better further away.
Not to mention none of your chats on c.ai are actually private, the server is scraping all your responses to have the ai send to other people. So if you're telling the bot some real smutty/embarrassing things that you wouldn't want anyone else to see, congrats on everyone else getting a piece of it.
Anyone supporting AI art, AI chats, and anything in terms of generative AI used for entertainment (with some very minor exceptions) can get off my account. I've engaged in some generative AI for funnies before, and thought it to be silly and harmless. But at the end of the day, art means something because someone made it. You can replicate AI by just doing some casual online roleplay, there's never a shortage of rpers. You can get a free online art program. You can use a cheap mechanical pencil and lined paper and draw something yourself. You can commission someone to get the art done that you really really want. You can put in the goddamned work yourself and make something. It's hard, and I've had millions of bad art days. But those days with bad art, where motivation is scarce, and where I don't have the money for commissioning someone. But (most!! artists still deserve to be paid, but this comes at the detriment of those who can't afford it. A struggle, and neither the artist nor the one who doesn't have the money to engage in it are the real enemy here) true art is free. Some little doodles on math homework. A messy fanfic made past midnight by some random 13 year old. A shitty photography album made with a broken, hand-me-down camera. These all are leagues more impressive, more sacred, and more worthy of recognition than whatever some rando generated by typing a couple words into a machine. AI art is fun! No one should be shamed for finding it fun! Tech crazes are interesting! But once you learn the harm, stop. Keep real art alive.
I stayed up way too late making this.
