If you want me to list the myriad ways that I want humanity to use less water, I can. This just happens to be top of the list because it has no fucking value at all and is expected to use even more than the others.
I’m not really sure what you’re trying to say here, other than you use chatgpt and want to stan for it. Ask it to compare the water use to human counterparts, whatever you mean by that. Or really, don’t because the water that would waste is certainly not worth it.
I believe the OP was referring more to consumers of ai in the statement, as opposed to people trying to sell content or whatever, which would be more in line with what you’re saying. I agree with both perspectives and I think the Op i quoted probably would as well. I just thought it was a good description of some of the why ai sucks, but certainly nit all of it.
Someone on bluesky reposted this image from user @yeetkunedo that I find describes (one aspect of) my disdain for AI.
Text reads: 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.
Also, water. We’ll take all of that please, just pipe it right over to our spot in the desert. We’ll need some more money with that, of course.
Haha, I used the comma to take out the question mark. Its like I before E except after always.
Haha, yeah I figured it out before posting, probably phrased the post a little odd so it seems like I’m still asking what it is. I appreciate it though.
Haha, yeah I figured it out before posting, just felt hella dumb.
My dumbass when I first read it- what does ODD stand for, haven’t heard of that one. I’m still making my coffee this morning.
Edit- I’m aware of what it means, just had a brainfart when I first read it and tried to convey that. I appreciate the help anyways haha.
Absolutely true, although this is still a pretty big slap in the face of it.
Simply having him as a guest on American soil has us already played for fools. He has an ICJ arrest warrant issued against him. That warrant/court appears to have less authority by the day unfortunately, but it would be like inviting the taliban to Camp David. So tired.
Oh, haha I meant from American Gods, a book that years ago I would have recommended to almost anyone to read, but Neil Gaiman is a sex pest and all that.
Goddamm that reveal of Lowkey as Loki had me wondering how I didn’t see it coming. Felt dumber than hell.
Dude is going to surrender Ukraine and claim to be a peacemaker, while sweetening the deal with a chunk of Alaska.
He wants them to be destroyed so no one can force him to turn them back on like the hurricane satellites.
For sure, I’d imagine denigrating female athletes is, at the minimum, a huge incentive for them. Also want to point out, how much I despise the while ‘it’s just a prank bro’ routine they are trying to pull off.
Same. That bs excuse of Jeffries not endorsing him, ‘I live 10 miles outside the city, y’all figure out your politics,’ was just trash. Not nearly as bad as others (gillibrand and the former gov, forget his name especially), but come on man.
I fully expected this to be some toxic male protest over the whole wnba wanting fair pay issue. Turns out its just the shittiest ad campaign I’ve seen in a while. A fucking meme coin.
Yeah, I wanted to see how it stacked up compared to others. Guess not.
Oh, haha, carry on then.
