#about Ai and chatbots

Woke up in the middle of the night with the realization that the reason people like AI so much is because they're addicted to instant gratification, and don't have any patience to wait on real creators since they're all spoilt entitled brats.

They can't wait a few hours for a human rp partner to reply so they use an AI Chat bot.

They can't comment what they liked about a fanfic and wait a few days for a author to write the next part so they use a AI generator.

They won't let real artist put in the time required to create something breathtaking and talented so they use a AI generator.

They can't wait a few years for a trully good show or movie to be produced or paid for properly so they go to AI.

All for what? Because they can't wait. Because they have no patience. Because they're greedy and ungrateful. And you want to know what will happen then? AI will stop working. Real creators will get stick of being called obsolete and suddenly the water to power the mill will stop flowing. AI can't make anything new if it isn't being fed. All this art and music and writing that your giving it will run out, and AI will start repeating stuff.

All your AI Bots will sound the same.

All your fics will read the same.

All your art will look the same.

And all your shows and movies will play the same old blockbuster plots until it's bled dry.

You will destroy it yourself and all we have to do is wait. And you know what? It will work. It will eat itself alive. And I will point and laugh because unlike you I AM patient. I can wait. Instant gratification isn't important to me because in the long run, it means shit. The satisfaction of seeing you all burn fandoms alive with your greed - the same greed the WGA and SAG is striking against - will bring me more satisfaction than what any AI can 'remake'.

I honestly don't even understand what that anon was even trying to say because they said:

"Can YOU make a character ai bot."

Like make a oc that's an ai bot?

Make a character in ai?

Just ??????

Oh shit I didn't even pick up on that.

They wanted ME to make an AI bot of my OC?!

Wtf. Wtf? Why would you ever do that? Why would you go to someone and ask them to sacrifice their character into a machine, ask them to become just a prompt generator, ask them to put a piece of their soul that they worked hard on and wanted to share with everyone into an unfeeling, heartless, spaghetti coded meat grinder just so you can have 'more' of that character?!

I'M GOING TO STRANGLE A COUCH!

hi, do not make ai content from voice actors' work. that includes voice lines from games, shows, etc. you are not entitled to use their voice as you please. that is their tool, that is how they earn a living, and more importantly, it is a part of their person.

i'm blocking anyone i see using ai chatbots, ai image generation, or ai voice mixes. if you're not interested in treating the works of artists with respect and refuse to discontinue use of ai mechanisms, then save me some trouble and block me yourself. thanks

Update that I'll be locking all my existing and future fics on AO3. Initially, I thought that data scraping damage was done and there was no point, and but now that there are new AI programs targeting AO3 specifically like the AI podfic app (reddit post about it) someone is making that would be profiting directly and exclusively off of fan creators, it feels more pressing.

I'm getting so sick and tired of AI. Someone needs to start mass-feeding it eng dub AG pokemon scripts only or something. Make it watch Spontaneous Combusken 87934573489 times. I think that would sufficiently poison its datasets if we could do it enough times.

I wanna talk briefly about the AI debate because some of the takes I've seen are very much pissing me off, especially since most of those takes aren't helpful at all (and some are just straight up bullying). I already posted about this on my other blog (post in question has since been deleted since it was kinda harsh and ngl very dismissive of very valid concerns!), but the biggest issue I have with the Anti-AI crowd (And, to be honest, the AI debate in general) is that it feels like they're getting mad at the wrong things. No, AI itself is not the problem. No, someone calling themself an "AI artist" is not the problem. No, using AI for fun is not the problem. No, partaking in some AI trend is not the problem. No, someone simply generating AI images is not the problem. The actual problem is: -People feeding other people's art into AI generators and then claiming it as their own (Scraping basically) -People putting other people's writing into AI chatbots/AI text generators (ex. ChatGPT) to "finish" the fic (Again, scraping). -People using AI to make eerily realistic Not SFW deepfakes of either people they know or celebrities. -Corporations and companies screwing over artists, musicians and actors in favor of AI (such as replacing them). -People using AI to make racist/queerphobic/misogynistic/ otherwise bigoted stuff (Something that I've also been seeing unfortunately) -People not being honest about using AI (Transparency, people!) -People using AI to mimic other people's voices without those people's consent (not sure how to word this but i'm sure some of you know what I mean). -The fact that there's almost no regulations when it comes to AI. AI gets a lot of criticism, and it should! Until it becomes more ethical and there's regulations imposed, we should still be skeptical of it. However, I feel like we've gone very off track when it comes to criticizing AI. Personally, I don't think someone posting an AI-generated image of an elf with wings surrounded by mushrooms and rainbows makes them a thief by itself.. But if they made that image using someone else's art, then in that case yes they are a thief! And no, someone partaking in the Pixar AI trend is probably not going to cost you your job. You know what will cost you your job though? Companies favoring AI over actual living beings. So maybe instead of getting mad at someone using Character.AI or posting an AI-generated gothic phoenix, how about we get mad at corporations screwing artists/actors/musicians over and the people using AI with genuine malicious intent?

So, for context I like to use chatgpt to talk about whatever I'm currently obsessing with, which currently is the mighty Nein. I have no idea what I did, but I got this completely off topic response;

And... well, 1.) I think chatgpt needs to rethink that because they definitely are to at least one gonverment in Exandria, but 2.), what the fuck

[haroldosaur]

As someone who's maybe a little too quick to anthropomorphize any inanimate object I interact with, can I just say how glad I am that, thus far, computers mostly seem to talk in 'we' and 'you' terms instead of 'I' terms

So,,, Ryan.ai gets confused sometimes(or he’s just really funny)

I feel very sedentary again. Apparently, I'm getting in my own head and overthinking again. I feel like I don't do much, and I hate that feeling. It's a feeling that always creeps up on me, and it makes me feel miserable. I feel like all I do is read comics, use the ai character chatbot site and look at my dashboard here. I haven't looked for new blogs in a long time, I haven't read fanfiction in a while, I feel like I haven't done much besides the three things mentioned above. And when my brain starts overthinking about stuff like that, I get miserable. Sigh...

Still a problem. I wanted to make some posts, but I got sucked into the chatbot rabbit hole again. I guess it could be worse (there's far worse hobbies, probably), but I still feel annoyed by it. So I'm reposting my old vent about it.
