I think it’s because immigrants wanted to preserve their culture when they came to the US, and that got passed down but was diluted over the generations, so you have people who have a very specific pride and identity that has deviated from the original.

I miss that. I genuinely do. Back when it felt like a community and things were fun. I know it’s never gonna happen again, it was great to see it, but I miss spontaneous community fun online.

I heard he’s a nice guy irl

You’re clearly ignoring what I’ve read. You haven’t countered anything, you just keep saying “we we well other stuff is bad too” or “we we well other stuff is worse”, and I’ve said multiple times that is a fallacy.

Just because other things are bad and some other things, theoretically, are worse (which you have failed to provide evidence for or prove), that doesn’t make AI ok to use.

Would you be ok with me torturing you? No? But murder exists and it’s worse! So torture is ok, right?

You haven’t disproved or rebutted anything, and you’re acting like you won, typical clanker thinking. Sorry you’re not used to being told no you selfish prick.

Some life sucks and there’s are bad things happening, but it sounds like you’ve been on the Internet too much and got bad world syndrome. Might be time to detox and actively try to focus on good things around you. If you gotta go online watch stuff about uplifting news, that stuff never gets covered nor talked about enough. Right now your brain is wired and primed for threats and bad things and you need to widen your scope a bit.

False equivalence fallacy. Just because two things are bad doesn’t mean they are equally bad. You want to “easily counter” any of my points? Prove them incorrect with facts.

You’ll probably have to get a robot to do the thinking for you so have fun with that.

How many times have I, and the rest of the Internet, talked about the environmental impact? The mental faculty drain? The misinformation? The use of media without permission?

Don’t pretend to be ignorant of the glasses of AI, you’re grasping at straws.

A pathetic squirming, an attempt to validate your own repulsive and pathetic actions.

Bruv I’ve given multiple reasons why ai sucks this entire conversation, it’s not my fault you got holes in your memory.

Maybe it’s because you offload your thinking? Hm.

My gate isn’t irrational and you’re trying to paint it as such. It’s not a “technological step forward”, it sucks ass. It’s not because of some deep rooted fear of change or something ai has done to me be personally.

Ai just sucks. It’s bad for the environment and bad for people, and hasn’t really contributed as much as the fanboys say it will.

Seems like you have a strong need for others to take care of you instead of you doing it yourself. Maybe you had neglectful parents or something. But there’s some of us who actually want to improve ourselves instead of have half baked inaccurate answers handed to us. Have fun failing your final when you can’t get a robot to take the test for you.

I hope they build a data center next to your house, maybe you’ll change your tune then.

Nah, ai did nothing to me personally, not the way you’re thinking. No one has fallen to ai psychosis or worshipped it like a god.

The fact you think that’s common enough, or even something that potentially could happen, shows you know at least cognitively that it has negative effects.

It’s just, you know, ai sucks and everyone knows it.

Unless you’re a gullible rube, but then you’d be the type of person who offloads their thinking or homework to a corpo lie machine anyway, so if course someone would like that would like ai.

Imagine equating something people need to do to survive in this society, like driving, to be equal to being too lazy to learn something on your own so you use the pollution theft job killer lie machine.

False equivalence fallacy, try again.

Oh so other things are bad so it’s ok to do theoretically less bad things. What stupid logic. So it’s ok to hack off someone’s arm because murder happens elsewhere? We shouldn’t bother to cut back on pollution because there’s bigger pollution elsewhere? “But Billy stole a bunch of the cookies so it’s ok for me to steal one” is some infant level logic.

Supporting a thing and using it definitely contributes, whether you like it or not. Your use does impact those other things. Your use does enable it. Your use is causing constant droning in an infants ear in a community that didn’t ask for it. You use is sucking up water.

“I’m only a drop in the bucket” is a poor excuse, and just admitting you’re doing something shitty, just on a small scale.

You’re doing the wrong thing, you know it, but you don’t care. Selfish.

You’re actively making everyone’s lives worse by using it. If it was a simple dislike of something that was harmless, that would be one thing, live and let live.

But it’s doing irreparable harm to our environment, to our communities, to our arts, to our jobs, to truth, and our minds.

You think you’re making your life better but you’re really just taking a shortcut because you don’t want to put in the work to get better.

Your attitude is disgusting and selfish.

Inspiration is not the same thing as turning pictures into static, turning static into numbers, then taking someone’s text and turning it into numbers and using those numbers to generate more static that gets translated into an image. Looking at a painting isn’t the same thing as plagiarism, and even with inspiration there is choice in its execution. With ai slop there is no choice in execution, from the computer nor the user.

Don’t anthropomorphize the pollution making job killing surveillance machine.

Funnily enough that’s not how that actually works with AI. The two are not the same.

And where do computers take the pictures they mash together for your convenience?

How soullessly capitalist it is to think the only purpose of art is what money you can make off of it. Who cares about meaning, the almighty dollar is the only thing important in life.

I’m also in the business of art abd I’m standing by what I said.

That would be a good thing? You don’t want a challenge or to grow? Develop a skill? You don’t get a sense of accomplishment if you just have a computer steal other people’s effort for you.

Bruv we’ve had industrial clothes making for decades and people still make their own clothes because they want to. People will still want to make art even with slop everywhere.
