wtf is that???????

i literally don't talk about this but i REALLY don't like NFTs.

i literally hate it as equal as AI

both are scams or easy way to scam people and lot of nonsense to it.

Mainstream sci-fi loves to insist on having drab looking machines as tools of war and oppression almost as a self fulfilling prophecy. But what if, hear me out, we started considering a future with more humane AI and healthier relations to different modes of intelligence (ie. the entire non-human being population of Earth)? 🤔

I'm really glad Tumblr as a whole has turned against AI art. I remember speaking out against it in a post that blew up a little less than a year ago and getting a lot of angry leftists arguing that AI is actually very socialist and good for the worker, which was incredibly disheartening.

Oh boy, I'm gonna lose it. This is the third ad like this I'm seeing today. I don't know if that's actually indicative of just how widespread these are becoming or if the marketing is just very aggressive, but going off of the things I've seen people say both on here and other forums, I think it's fair to say that they're definitely a trend at this point. Pardon the incoming rant, but I am just deeply unsettled by it.

Guys. For the love of god. Talk to real people. Talk to friends. Talk to family members. I get that it's hard if those are currently not an option, but there's always acquaintances, neighbors, colleagues, classmates, people at sports events or hobby clubs or community getogethers, people in your congregation, servers, cashiers, doormen, cabbies, people you see every day walking their dog in your neighborhood, people at a party, people at the local coffee shop/bar/bookstore, the guys cleaning your street, anybody, literally anybody who is a living breathing human. You need to force yourself to maintain regular human interactions. This might seem like an overreaction in regards to the topic at hand, but I am so dead fucking serious right now.

Loneliness is a scary scourge, especially if you suffer from mental health issues. Yes, meeting new people and making new friends or maintaining human connection can be extremely hard. Yes, trying to be funny annd lovable and be understood can fucking suck, I know, trust me, but I promise it's not that scary, it's really not. The more you do it it becomes less so, and the effort of breaking through that discomfort and coming to terms and making peace with the fact that conversation with folks will not and should not be perfect and predictable and safe a lot of the time but is STILL good and fulfilling and essential is part of the reward. And the fact of the matter is you don't even need to be besties with everyone. You just need regular human interaction in different forms, even if it's sometimes stilted or superficial or uncomfortable or just plain bad.

And, because this seems to be a lot of the why people flock to these chatbot things—if you're just looking for someone to sling ideas at or talk to about media or special interests or fanfiction or whatever else while staying anonymous, the whole wide internet is right there! Millions upon millions of users! And many, many of them decent people and likely to be open to you reaching out or interested in talking about the same thing you want to talk about, or roleplaying, or whatever else, no matter how weird or niche you think it is. Because here's the thing, and I mean this in the nicest way possible: you are not unique. It has been done before. There is nothing new under the sun, and that should feel like a comfort, not a curse. Generations of anxious, awkward people have found ways to make connections with each other over the (subjectively, and sometimes objectively) stupidest and/or weirdest shit. Sometimes you might even make an actual friend, or find someone who shares your experiences or your views, and you might feel that tiny bit better. Sometimes you'll just write kinky self-insert romance with a stranger on the internet for a couple of hours or whatever, and that's great too.

And if you're just looking for a way to live out fantasies, or get out of your own head, and you are just THAT embarrassed about sharing that with someone else (which, by the way: shame is a normal feeling but one that is once again ultimately necessary and healthy to get over or figure out how to deal with in the long run)—your imagination is enough, and it's fucking good for you. I can't believe I have to say this, but just sitting in your room thinking for yourself and imagining things is good for you, even if it is a form of escapism. Putting that to words or images or whatever else, by yourself for yourself, is good for you. Or at the very least, it's better than asking a preprogrammed intellectual property theft machine to regurgitate a reductive version of your wants and needs back to you at the cost of pouring the equivalent of a ten million gallon canister of gasoline on the environment and also on your own social skills and needs.

This shit, and I cannot stress this enough, is not sustainable. I don't even mean in the grand scheme of things. I am not trying to guilt anyone or prophesize about the "doom days" of AI, I really am not. I literally just mean it is not sustainable for people, individually, to get addicted to and reliant on faux-communication with a program. The dopamine hit it gives you WILL wear off, and it WILL start to not be enough, and the creators WILL start charging you more money or asking for personal information or whatever, and your social and/or creative needs still won't be fulfilled and you'll just be left in the same place you started in, if not sadder, if not worse.

Just. Talk to people. I am BEGGING at this point. I promise the relative discomfort of that versus the long-term consequences relying on whatever the hell these chatbots are supposed to be could have on your actual emotional and mental health is much less scary, and much more worth it and rewarding in the long run.
