What is your opinion of AI? Personally, I think that like any technology, it depends on the user and their intentions, but that is just me.

What about you?

1. Theft

The most central issues with AI as it is now is that the programs were trained/are trained with STOLEN art. Stolen visual art, music, writing, etc.

The vast majority of what it has been fed is stolen. As in, the artists behind the work were not ever given the chance to consent nor be compensated for their works being used to feed the machine.

This reason alone is straight up copyright infringement and the optimist in me does believe the long arm of the law is gonna shut these programs down for that. But the long arm of the law is looooooong, and the technology is disrupting people’s livelihoods now. Unlike robots or machinery that was invented and built to expedite assembly line/factory work, this technology is only functional by using other people’s labor. If we didn’t live in a society where you have to “earn” your right to live in it, then this would still be wrong, but it probably wouldn’t be such an existential problem.

There are active class action lawsuits for infringement of copyright. And the private sector has begun filing suits and I’m quite certain they’ll win because again—it’s simply theft. These companies did not make licensing contracts, they’re not paying royalties to the artists they stole from.

So if you consider using ai that generates “art” (whether it is visual, music, writing, etc.) please consider stopping immediately, as you would actively be benefiting from theft (which is wrong imo!!!!)

2. AI in its present form dishonors the human spirit

In my personal relationship with AI technology, I do not use it to generate ideas or ‘art’. I detest the notion to use technology in that way tbh. AI is a form of technology, so it’s difficult to break it down into every specific use it actually has. But here’s an attempt; no to generative AI, okay to certain AI.

There are kinds of AI programming in the programs I use (such as features that help you color in a shape quickly or make a perfect circle). This is useful tech (that requires zero IP theft) and I like it because it helps me by taking care of tedious tasks so that I have more time to spend in the creative and drawing processes. But I still choose the colors, I still draw the images, I still write the stories.

I think the way AI is used right now with a focus on “creative thinking” (where it’s not actually creating anything it’s just churning out other people’s *stolen* ideas and practice) is a total waste. AI being used as an assistant to help humans find information easily can be/has been swell. And requires no theft :D

But for whatever reason (greed, capitalism are my guesses), tech companies are leaning into a direction to replace creativity with AI?? I imagine the people behind this view the practice of art as tedious work because it is challenging??

But the beauty of art and the practice of it is that it allows humans to experience and overcome challenges with little to no stakes.

When society determines that is not a valuable use of human time, then I think we’ll all be significantly more miserable. If we allow a machine to be “creative” and leave us to only experience challenges with stakes—like survival (rent, putting food on the table).

So here are some examples of how I feel about AI uses;

AI to translate languages, find resources, discern malicious malware/spam from harmless messages > 👍🏽

AI to generate ideas/art for you > 🤢 Why??????? Why would you want that…that’s the most exceptional part of the human experience and you relinquish it to a bot trained on stolen ideas? 😭

subspace w/ child reader hcs (platonic)

- he’s fascinated by you, he won’t want to experiment on you, but he’s curious about you. he wants understand how your mind works and he wants to understand your behavior.

- he spends time away from his usual work just to see you play with the toys he bought you, and he even takes some notes on your mannerisms.

- your very existence is so confusing for him, he’s never really been around children, especially as an adult, and you being around him distracts him from his work.

- though, that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have a soft spot for children so long as they don’t mess up his work. he’s fond of you and thinks of you like his child, and he takes care of you, and he never lets out his anger on you no matter how upset he is. he doesn’t want to lose one of the few people he holds closest to him.

- he sometimes even lets you help out with his experiments, though, if he finds them to be too dangerous for you, no amount of convincing is going to make him change his mind on making sure you stay as far away as possible.

- he finds your little drawings on some of his papers sometimes, and they never fail to leave a small smile on his lips.

- overall, he basically sort of adopted you the moment you stepped into his lab, and he’ll make sure you can cause chaos amongst the world alongside the rest of blackrock.

I mean this in the most genuine way possible, but you do not understand the point of people saying shifting for minors as an adult is weird. I also don’t think you understand how ages work even across different realities.

(I would like to note that from here on out, when I say “you” I am not referring to you specifically. I am using the general form of the word. Just talking in the second person.)

Regardless of how old you are there your consciousness is still an adult with an adult mindset and experiences. Yes, you can script yourself to be younger but at the end of the day your adult mind is attracted to a minor. (IMO it’s different if it’s live action and the actor was an adult at the time of filming)

As for the ages thing, if you are 16 here and shift to somewhere where you are also 16, you’re still just 16. The ages don’t combine because you did not live out an extra so many years you just shifted to a reality where your 16 years you’ve already lived are different.

Obviously no one can stop you, and no ones gonna know you even did it unless you tell them. But I hope this helps you understand where people come from when they say it’s weird to shift for minors as an adult. /gen

girly omg i can’t i’m not even gonna argue with you. have ur own opinion, don’t try to change mine.

kpop stans literally have no backbone LMAOOO when skz gets hate for collaborating with more and more zionists because as we can see they are VERY well welcomed by stays, dont come crying. what a useless fandom. literally we had one job and it’s to NOT platform a zionist and an israeli settler but nooooooo ��💔💔 people are losing their jobs and students are being arrested for protesting against israel but 90% of stays cant even boycott ONE song.

it’s not a coincidence that zionists are infiltrating kpop i need u to PLEASE utilize ur critical thinking skills and realize that those zionist brands/artists/companies are looking for new audiences to gain since they’re being shunned away. this is only the beginning this isn’t a matter of supporting skz alone PLEASE

it could’ve been you born in palestine and it would’ve been your people and family and friends and loved ones that are genocied. and then you’d be the one asking people to not platform zionists and to shame them but oh well. good luck living life being this fucking spineless

im shaking

I know this is a ninjago blog, I'm sorry I tagged this as ninjago, but I need people to see this urgently

I gathered this based on info I've read, so please correct me if I'm wrong about something

palestine has been completely cut from internet and cellular communications, theres a slaughter happening, bombs are being sent down every second we speak, a fucking genocide that has been going on for years and years and is on it's tipping point

theyre wiping off gazans in the dark

they not only bombed and fucking genociding palestine, they have bombed lebanon. people in Arish in egypt, about 80 km away from gaza, see the fucking bombs from there

and in egypt, israel sent a bomb in Taba and a hospital was hit, 6 were injured. and a projectfile in Nuweiba was sent aswell and it almost hit a powerstation

im a fucking egyptian and im shaking. im scared we and other countries might be next.

my dad was literally planning to go to sinai with me and our family, but now it's literally not safe

what people dont understand is that this is not war, this is a genocide in palestine. genocides. people are being killed in the dark. every right is being removed from these innocents. israel is bombing palestine, bombing us, and bombing other middle eastern countries

fuck israel and may they be sent to the deepest depths of hell, may they face the same massacres innocent palestinies are facing, free palestine

from the land to the sea, palestine will be free 🇵🇸

تحيا فلسطين، تحيا اخواتنا الفلسطينيين ❤️🇵🇸

[a-small-writer-in-a-big-world]

I hate people who are like “AI allows me to do these things I wanted to do but can’t because I suck at it” do you think that every person before AI didn’t suck at what they were good at? Do you think it’s worth stealing other people’s passions so you can pretend you’re good at something instead of trying?

the nipple patch incident is now on HS. lol. out of all the vile yibo hot searches i endured last year, i will take this really funny one to start the new year any day. i know bobo wants to be more cool than funny but this just makes him endearing to passer by. and tbh, it’s also cool. he was too immersed in his rehearsal, and he just peeled it off like nothing.

wyb, don’t go online these days 😂😂😂

and there is an emerging trend of kids doing a cover of his song everything is lovely. i just noticed that kids really look up to him. can’t blame them tho. kids are naturally attracted to good people 😌😌😌
