#anti AI

[thatsthewrongwallcraig]

Write it shitty, write it scared, write it without a clue but don't you be so spineless and have an AI write fanfic for you.

[i-hate-ai]

yum! and who's going to be responsible if someone gets harmed for listening to ai advice? nobody! because nobody why ai said this!

For those not in the know, this is one of the Amanita mushrooms referred to as a Destroying Angel. Never, ever, ever, ever forage with an app. Especially for mushrooms.

Unpopular opinion but if you don't enjoy the process you should find a different thing to do.

And I think this is true in general but now I'm talking about it in the context of AI.

If you don't enjoy making art and only care about the end piece and how it'll look and how much traction it"lol get online then making art is not something for you, find something you enjoy from start to finish.

Same goes for writing: if you do not enjoy writing and rewriting and then some more and instead want AI to write for you, being a writer is not something you should pursue.

Sure, not every part of creative process is going to be equally enjoyable but you should get satisfaction from solving the problems along the way and you should get a sense of accomplishment on your way of "making the piece yours" and you should have a sense of ownership once you are done.

None of these things will come from typing in a prompt into chatGPT. And I am sad to see so many people are missing on the opportunity to experience the joy of making something with their own hands and brains.

Just give it a try and if you don't like it don't do it again.

But also don't let the expectations of it coming out perfect ruin the fun you are having while making the thing. Because what if I told you this: having fun while creating is the actual purpose of the creative process, not whatever comes out of it.

whenever I go through an entire tag on ao3 and I decide to go through it again with lower expectations, you will not catch me reading an AI generated fic. My standards may have lowered but my respect for hardworking, suffering authors definitely hasn’t.

DO NOT TALK TO ME ABOUT AI ILL KILL MYSELF IN FRONT OF YOU

Hey everyone, I know it's going to be a busy day for a lot of people, but Google enrolled everyone over 18 into their AI program automatically.

If you have a google account, first go to gemini.google.com/extensions and turn everything off.

Then you need to go to myactivity.google.com/product/gemini and turn off all Gemini activity tracking. You do have to do them in that order to make sure it works.

Honestly, I'm not sure how long this will last, but this should keep Gemini off your projects for a bit.

I saw this over on bluesky and figured it would be good to spread on here. It only takes a few minutes to do.

I feel the need to clarify that I have really written this fic.

It's not IA, I know I've said I didn't write it, that I was just the hands typing it BUT it's because of how easy it was for me to write it. Words just kept flowing and flowing and it changed me from my current wip. So, it was a nice feeling. No worries, I DID WRITE it.

The Be More Chill musical feels like an ancient omen.

HEAR ME OUT

Ai is introduced as a way to make your life better, but ultimately fails horribly and works to your detriment because it has no grasp of human emotions and does not give a shit.

And this was all pre 2020s

hi bmc phase ilyyyy

[aeolianblues]

Yo, someone's creating AI bot accounts on tutmblr posing as independent left-leaning US news blogs. I just saw one called @/ bluenerdmagazine. Once you sift through the posts, you'll see they're all poorly AI generated: text that is wrong and doesn't make sense, images that are just too smooth, have something incredibly Wrong with them (or check the fingers, of course). My first inkling was that the images gave me uncanny valley, they creep me out so much.

This blog was talking about Taylor Swift performing at this year's Super Bowl. Now, of course we know that didn't actually happen. Clue number 2.

Report these as blogs if you come across them, Tumblr doesn't really have a policy against AI beyond copyright protection at the moment, so it's all legal per se, but I reported this one as phishing. Unfortunately, while this is what I would call textbook 'non-genuine behaviour', that's not what that category is for. If anyone figures out a better fit than 'phishing by posing as a left-wing news blog while being a bot', I'd love to know.

As more trusted news outlets either capitulate to govt. pressure, are forced underground or you seek out more independent journalism, which when genuine is crucial in the age of Trump's attacks on the press, freedom of speech and democracy, be wary of opportunists trying to capitalise on that sentiment.

Some bots may simply be seeking to get you to click on their bogus links, but don't forget what Russian psyops were able to do the last time round with less powerful chatbots. With generative AI and the backing of the US government right now, we're all more vulnerable than ever. Be safe, double check everything you read.

every time I do a web search, right at the top I have AI info dumping on me

just give me the top result please

[machetesquirrel]

I’m just going to leave this here

Yes 1000000X to this! That's how I was successfully able to format and write my personal statement for grad school!

I think a lot of what pro-AI people are really wanting is stuff that already exists but they don't know it's out there like

can't format a work email? templates

don't know how to write a resume? templates

writing a thank you card or a condolences card or a wedding invitation? templates templates templates

not sure how to format your citations in MLA or whatever format? citationmachine.net

summary of something you're reading for school/work? cliffsnotes.com

recipe based on ingredients in your fridge? whatsintherefrigerator.com

there's a million more like, guys, we don't need AI, we never needed generative AI

[going2hell4everythingbutbeingbi]

chatgpt is the coward's way out. if you have a paper due in 40 minutes you should be chugging six energy drinks, blasting frantic circus music so loud you shatter an eardrum, and typing the most dogshit essay mankind has ever seen with your own carpel tunnel laden hands

[chastainromanova]

ai does not belong in creative spaces. period.
