it matters for peace of mind. it matters for your writing, research and memory skills. there’s just genuinely no reason for the average person to use generative AI imo. putting in effort to do your own research/make your own work is always a more effective way to learn or create, anything AI gives you is already out there for you to piece together yourself in a more well rounded and accurate way.
the problem with the “one individuals impact doesn’t matter let people be” argument is that no one is actually shaming people who don’t know better for using AI, the only time i see people get upset are when people who are actually tapped in and should know better use AI art or something. or at least that is how a large majority is.
I am so clearly not talking about AI outside of generative AI. There are absolutely valid uses of AI for research. But I’m talking about businesses using generative AI for advertising, logos, posters, etc. when they have been fully capable of hiring artists up until recently. Like sorry but I don’t think it’s ethical to literally give away a human’s job to a machine that’s poisoning people’s drinking water just to keep more money in your pocket.
Nobody else is talking about anything besides generative AI than you. I KNOW what other forms of AI are. You're the one who keeps bending over backwards for the technocratic overlords. At least TRY to resist instead of eating the slop. And you absolutely ARE trying to victimize and woke-scold me for not believing working folks are not smart enough to be against generative AI
Mf every single person who is capable of using gen AI is also capable of researching the ways it is damaging our environment and society as a whole. Literally just watch the damn news. I’m not gonna sit here and roleplay that all of these people don’t know what they’re doing. Are some of them blissfully unaware? Absolutely. But a lot know the negatives, don’t give a damn, and use it for their own profit and benefit. Stop justifying that shit.
You know that spamming fucking paragraphs in my comment section just repeating yourself over and over isn’t going to make me agree with you, right? I have ALREADY said I am not talking about AI outside of gen AI used by businesses for advertising, logos, posters, and other things typically made by a hired designer. I’m not talking about AI for research.
And I am talking specifically about one of the ways it is being used negatively, that being business owners using it instead of hiring a designer. I have never once said we need to ban all gen AI. Using it this way is PROVABLY bad because it is quite literally replacing the roles of designers and artists in the workforce, and it really isn’t doing it well. It’s stealing their work too, that’s how it trains. That’s not a generalization.
