Watch Wall-e to remind society how lazy and dependent on AI can end up.
Amazing documentary. Really enlightened me about current reality. \s
Illustration purposes. Or I just want them. If I want something better than my dogshit doodles then yeah the robot can make them
Love it.
Steve Jobs once called the personal computer a bicycle for the mind; ChatGPT is a wheelchair for the mind. There is no shame in using a wheelchair if you need one, but if you don’t need one and use one anyway, you will come to need it.
I’d say chatgpt is more like a self-driving tesla stuck in huge traffic. you don’t have any control, it can break down easily, you’re moving slower than a bike, all the while thinking that people who chose the bike to avoid the traffic are losers.
Damn, that’s a good metaphor. Gonna steal that for myself.
this metaphor is ableist because nobody is pushing wheelchair use on abled people, unlike ChatGPT. and no, abled people won’t become “dependent” on wheelchairs because they’ll realize how miserable life is when you’re barred from most public establishments.
most of the people perceived as “faking it” are just disabled people who can’t afford a diagnosis or won’t be diagnosed by medics due to racism, fatphobia, etc.
You make a good point.
I don’t agree that no one pushes wheelchairs on people who don’t need them (based on my personal experience). I live in a country with socialized medicine so i am not used to cost being a barrier to care, and i didn’t consider the american context.
you are definitely right that i am looking at wheelchairs the wrong way. i agree that they are liberating for many people. lately i have been pushing a stroller and it opened my eyes the tiniest bit to how many places are hostile to anything on wheels. i can barely imagine the access challenges that a person in a chair faces. the metaphor i used was totally off the mark in that respect.
i will let my comment stand, but i will think about what you said and try to be better.
This metaphor is a … metaphor and does not say or imply anyone is pushing wheelchairs on able bodies people or that a significant amount of wheelchair users does not need them.
But if you start consistently using a wheelchair when there is no physical reason for you to use one, will your muscles not atrophy, thereby making you need it?
I don’t think this metaphor is inherently ableist. That wheelchairs aren’t being pushed onto anyone isn’t really relevant, nor is the fact that very few people fake needing a wheelchair. I don’t think the person you replied to was shaming anyone for “faking it.” Just saying that if you don’t need a wheelchair, it’s probably a bad idea to use one.
Just saying that if you don’t need a wheelchair, it’s probably a bad idea to use one.
it is ableist though, because we get told we don’t need to use one every single day. this stems from ableds vilifying wheelchair use as a “downgrade on the human experience” as opposed to a liberation tool, which is what it actually is.
their metaphor wouldn’t even exist if this mentality wasn’t normalized.
But… the person you’re replying to didn’t say you don’t need to use a wheelchair. They said that if someone genuinely doesn’t need to use a wheelchair, using one will likely have negative effects. Which is just, like, true? In my head, it’s roughly akin to saying, “If you consistently take a medication you don’t need, you’re probably going to wind up needing a different medication to counteract the negative effects of the medication you unwisely took.”
You’re completely right that wheelchairs are liberation tools and shouldn’t be vilified. And as someone who needs medical intervention to survive, I understand your frustration with ableist rhetoric. I just think your reading of this one is a bit off the mark.
what negative effects are there for ableds using a wheelchair? gonna need a few sources besides conjecture.
the only way they’d get hurt is from other ableds assaulting them or getting a badly fitted chair, which also happens with bikes. the double standard is that bikes would never get called a downgrade outside of carbrain spaces.
Muscle atrophy? From not using your muscles? Can you not read??? Maybe you’re using chat GPT to reply.
OK then, show me an able-bodied person who got diagnosed with muscle atrophy from using a wheelchair. you’re living in fairy land
You are such a moron
Really more like the Wal-Mart electric hoverround.
There’s no real rules about who can use it. It’s there for anyone. Some people do genuinely need that assistance. But most users are simply lazy fucks that don’t want their kankles dragging on the floor as they go to buy prepackaged doughnuts and soda, looking over the tactical machetes in sporting goods and talking up how well they would do in a zombie apocalypse because they watched the entire series of The Walking Dead again last week.
what you’re calling lazy fucks are most likely disabled people who you’ve preassigned an able-bodied role in your mind based on perceived ability based on their appearance.
a fuckton of disabilities are not apparent to the uneducated eye and also a lot of us are undiagnosed and/or ambulatory mobility aid users.
so no, you can’t “always tell”. mind your own business.
I understand what you’re saying and sorry if it seemed insensitive. I grew up in a town where actually disabled people often couldn’t use the Wal-Mart electric carts because they were in use by people who were very much able-bodied and just felt like being redneck pieces of garbage. It was a whole drama-rama at the Wal-Mart about who could use the carts. And this was after we dealt with the sign about leaving your guns in the car and not shopping with an iron on your leg.
But, it was a special town full of hate, so maybe that was a unique situation.
Steve Jobs also thought eating fruit could cure cancer…
This is such a weird take.
Oh poor baby, you need a wittle spell check to make sure you don’t mess up the words in your important email?
Oh little loser, you gotta have an automatic transmission to make the car go vroom vroom?
Oh Mr. has-a-life, you have to pull out Shazam instead of knowing 8 million songs by heart?
All of us use technology to make our lives easier, to supplement skills we don’t want to sink perfectionist-level time into, to enjoy “good enough” results in one area or another.
This kind of holier-than-thou hyperbolic snobbery does nothing to generate actual thoughtful reflection of where to draw the line with technology dependence and only distracts and detracts from actually good critiques of generative AI’s ethics and other negative effects. I wish this sub didn’t allow low-effort meme posts because it’s such a brain rot circle-jerk.
Damn you cry alot.
bruh, it’s literally a mockery. they are mocking the ineptitude of people who use AI.
way to overanalyze a tweet.
“You’re using your brain too much, just enjoy the ‘hUmOr’” as a defense of this is ironically the funniest thing in this thread.
I didn’t say it was humor. I said they are mocking them.
if your AI brainrot hadn’t been so severe you might have comprehended that.
Jesus dude, go touch some grass. you’re getting bent out of shape over such an insignificant piece of shit like me, it’s pathetic.
Pedantry. “Think less, shut up, accept what the algorithm feeds you from this sub without question” was still the basic gist.
🤷♂️ I’m drinking tea and having a nice day. Sorry you think I’m getting bent out of shape just because I’m critiquing your poorly thought-out comments. 🙂
you’re getting bent out of shape over such an insignificant piece of shit like me, it’s pathetic.
My guy it honestly sounds like you’re the one who needs to take a screen break more than I do. Be well.
You said something here that is pertinent, but also revealing. We all use technology everyday to make our lives easier, but does it? The automatic transmission cited above allowed anyone with a pulse the ability to get behind the wheel of a car rather than putting in any effort to acquire the skill to operate a motor vehicle. Great for the people who built our car-ciety, we have all suffered for it, including inaccessible essential services w/o one and getting stuck in traffic caused in the most part by people who should never be behind a wheel of a car. Do you want people writing books and creating art that have no business writing books or creating art? Cause we’ve got that now. Great…
I don’t think automatic transmissions are in any way responsible for car centric urban planning, Europe has plenty of it and the transition to automatics is very slow and quite recent.
I agree far too many people are allowed to drive when they shouldn’t but people dying on the road is more socially acceptable than stringent standards for being allowed to operate lethal machines at insanely high speeds (in terms of kinetic energy at least).
Yes, the automatic transmission is not solely responsible, but it was a means to an end. How can we get more people in cars? Make it easier to drive! Brilliant. Except now we have this… It’s irrational but it’s my brain and I can do what I want with it!
Too true. Cars and motorized vehicles make everything too easy. Lets go back to horses. But even that is making people less capable of walking long distance. Lets go back to the good old days of not technology at all!
Ohhh so edgy. Fucking daft loser can’t read, just like the rest of the idiots trolling the socials. If we didn’t have technology, I wouldn’t have to hear from idjits like your dumb ass, so at least there’d be that.
We all use technology everyday to make our lives easier, but does it?
🙄 Yes. If you disagree with something this obvious, please write me a lengthy letter explaining why and send it by horse & buggy mail carrier. I promise, I’ll read and respond just as soon as I’m able.
Do you want people writing books and creating art that have no business writing books or creating art?
🤮🤮🤮 Maybe we should require an intelligence test before allowing people to post their opinions on the internet too? Or have children?
If you actually think that disallowing some people to create art because they aren’t “good enough,” then you aren’t really defending art or artists at all.
The point is we value people who are at the top of their specific game for a reason. When the barriers to access are removed, that’s great, but it dilutes the end game product over all. Sorry not sorry. Easier lives makes dumber people I guess? Boy that’s so cool! I get it, busy people can use AI to make their days less busy, but people who aren’t too busy are using it and getting dumber for it. Prove me wrong. Yes technology has a myriad of benefits, but also a myriad of pitfalls too. Weird, eh? I’m not disallowing people from making art, but no one should or would buy it in a real world environment. I would ask, what value does it add to the world? Art is an expression of the artist interpreting the world. AI art is rubbish and it gives you exactly what you ask for. Cool? Maybe, but not art.
Again, this whole idea that you need to make an argument about the tradeoffs of technology in general in order to make an argument against AI is weak and needless. Do you have a smart phone you use the calculator on sometimes, or do you write out all your long-form division? Is everyone who owns a microwave, uses tax preparation software, or switches to an electric toothbrush just a lazy dumb-dumb in your mind?
When the barriers to access are removed, that’s great
but it dilutes the end game product over all.
AI art is rubbish and it gives you exactly what you ask for.
Cool? Maybe,
This is just talking out of both sides of your mouth trying to sound fair and balanced instead of actually making a good argument. “AI art is rubbish” – yes!!! We don’t need vacuous, hypocritical hot takes on using technology to say that.
That’s not the only thing I’m talking about, but it seemed relevant to the post? Way to fixate on one thing I am saying instead of just agreeing with me? I thought an argument was supposed to be thought out? I’m not just talking about AI though. I really hate the automatic transmission if you really want to know. Like, it doesn’t rule my life or anything, I just think it has allowed stupid people to get in my way. AI art is slop and I’m not afraid of being replaced. Just so we are clear!
Well, thanks to AI, art may soon die. Well, you’ve heard of AI agents. Those who control them will brazenly take over the market and push out real artists and writers, and then there’s this AI moderation. Damn, at this rate, authors will have to sell offline so their work doesn’t get stolen or banned, lol
You are mad at automatic transmission too? Maybe you should also consider the method in which you are having this conversation before attacking types technology. Tech has always been about making things easier.
I may say you are right, but AI is not just a tool…
Damn people are stupid. See what I mean, you can’t even read that I am not against technology, only that it has consequences. People are fucking dense.
It doesn’t do that at all. People creating great art isn’t going away. Stop being a dumb gatekeeper too.
This is not a fact, capitalism is a cruel thing, so real authors who write with pain and realism will be increasingly difficult to find among the AI garbage.
Who is gatekeeping?! Just cause I don’t feel the same as you doesn’t mean you can’t do a thing? Technology is great, but it can also be stupid, and dangerous, and misused and by golly, even detrimental.
By golly you are right we should stop people from using hammers too. Think about it people can misuse them and hit their thumbs or break things. They are so detrimental to society. If people dont try and hammer in nails with their thick skulls everyone’s life’s gonna get so much easier and less busy as they stop having to go to the doctor to get stitches all the time and as a consequence they are all going to get so much more stupid.
Jarvis, explain what the hell this means.
The point is we value people who are at the top of their specific game for a reason
Which is a fallacy in our society that we should be working to rectify. Being great at something can be valuable and helpful, but it is not the be all end all. This value argument is why you get people who get promoted to the point of their largest incompetency. Which then stiffles innovation and learning as you keep listening to the same ideas instead of learning to be critical thinkers who can vet new ideas based on the argument and research provided regardless of status from the person proposing the idea. Value should be in the idea and whether the solution can be tested and verifiable, not in the person proposing it.
When the barriers to access are removed, that’s great, but it dilutes the end game product over all.
Having more opinions, perspectives, and chances for people to interact does not dilute anything. It can make governance of that field more complicated as it means you actually need to learn to be a critical thinker who can review the research and ideas proposed but it also enriches the field by making sure their are counter arguments and different perspectives available so that ideas in that space dont become route and stale from the same tried vision and approaches.
Easier lives makes dumber people I guess? I get it, busy people can use AI to make their days less busy, but people who aren’t too busy are using it and getting dumber for it.
Making someone’s life easier doesn’t make them more dumb. Does creating handicap accessible infrastructure make people in wheelchairs dumb or does it allow them the opportunity to participate in areas that once were inaccessible. In addition, being busy or not has no correlation to how someone uses a tool or not. I can use a calculator to solve a myriad of equations, or i can use it to spell boobs regardless of whether I’m busy or not. But if you constantly shame those seaking to solve complex equations for using a calculator because some people will write boobs instead of using it to solve an equation all you do is push those who would use the tool productively away. All the while leaving those who could care less and will write boobs with it anyway around. That then leads you to a confirmation bias where only people who write boobs on calculators are the ones using them, so therefore, calculators must just make people write boobs on them. See how fucking dumb that sounds? Thats literally your whole argument here.
I’m not disallowing people from making art, but no one should or would buy it in a real world environment. I would ask, what value does it add to the world?
Why does art have to add value to world? It’s literally just a form of expression as you state below with:
Art is an expression of the artist interpreting the world.
So, how does using a tool to visualize your interpretation of the world diminish the artistic intent of expressing how an artist sees the world?
AI art is rubbish and it gives you exactly what you ask for.
So by this metric, any art which yeilds what the artist intends is actually rubbish and just not art then. Not to mention, if you have spent any time working with these tools at all, you would also know this is complete bullshit anyways. Will it make something from what you ask sure, but to get something meaningful, one needs to tweak their prompt and work around the pitfalls of the system through multiple iterations. Just because it takes less time than having to scrap multiple drawings before you settle on the version that you feel represents your expression doesn’t make it any less an expression of the world by the artist.
and only distracts and detracts from actually good critiques
No, it doesn’t. You just want to be able to pick from your buffet of cake flavors without it being morally complicated. Gen AI is demon technology made by demons, and those demons deserve mockery and ridicule. It should be impolite to be this anti-social.
You want to get mad at how capitalist distort inventions into profit machines that continue to enshitify our lives so they can enrich themselves at the expense of others. Go right ahead but acting like a tool that is helpful in summarization and translation is some terrible plight on humanity is just simply put complete brain rot.
You know people who use google translate to “speak spanish” are made fun of? It can’t translate puns. I cannot imagine using this for any serious translation work.
You do realize google translate is different than an LLM right? ChatGPT is an order of magnitude above google translate yes? You also realize being able to communicate even if poorly is better than not being able to communicate?
I said serious translation work. What, are you translating the german memes on ich eil?
Gotcha didnt realize translating spanish puns is some serious translation work regardless have you tried using gpt-4.5 with deep search enabled to translate something recently or are you just talking out your ass assuming every model works like Google translate?
No, I don’t converse with demons. A machine speaking falsehoods and lies in my holy tongue? Disgusting.
Ok, keep religion out of it. Be real.
What, we can’t have a little poetry? Is fun illegal now?
No! No fun allowed!
The loss of skill requirements within trades and crafts is likely a major factor in the cascades of ineptitude we experience in our society. The barriers to entry also directly benefitted the quality of those spaces, and naturally flagged the incompetent (if you are incompetent and lack spell check, your mis-spellings served as a demonstration that you are not a skilled writer. Same for driving, musical recognition, engineering as well).
We’ve seen a clear decline in the general quality of all products, and I can’t help but feel that the automation of skill is directly connected to that decline. This tweet seems to mirror that sentiment in its mockery. You don’t have to think anymore about pretty much any of the process, you just get an output you can ship immediately. So it goes without saying that you can be without any skill and still have a footprint within spaces you have no merit to be in.
The decline in general quality of products is because corporate wants you to buy the same thing over and over again. Quality doesn’t matter.
What kind of evidence are you seeing that there is a loss in skill requirements and lowered barriers to entry?
Take a look at a newly constructed home sometime.
That’s what decent folks call anecdotal evidence. I’m looking for something more definitive.
I didnt realize that you can have chatGPT build homes…talk about a dumb take
Well said. I don’t remember the exact headline, but I skimmed an article that said recent graduates are having trouble getting jobs because many entry-level tasks are being automated. This will be a huge problem in a few years because entry-level jobs are the training for upper level jobs. LLMs are not cut out for work that takes careful analysis and communication, and they are useless for tasks where accuracy matters. How do managers propose that we fill those jobs if they won’t train entry-level employees?
I don’t think the tweet is about technology in general. It is specifically targeting one technology, so I don’t think it impedes “thoughtful reflection of where to draw the line with technology dependence.” There are good uses of AI, certainly. Replacing the human effort necessary for art and writing, though, are definitely not good uses. A big part of what makes art important is that it is effortful - that is why people react so negatively to some postmodern and modern art that doesn’t look like it took great skill to make. As for writing - the only point of writing an essay is to achieve human-to-human connection. Using ChatGPT for stereo instructions is maybe inaccurate, but not bad in the way that using ChatGPT for an essay is bad. That is why the “do you need chat gpt to fuck your wife” zinger hits: you are replacing human interactions with some bullshit gadget.
You hit the nail on the head. The irrational hatred in this sub can’t beat logic.
Yeah, think I’m going to go ahead and block this sub.
The author is an illustrator from what I remember. It’s a totally valid point. Automatic transmission is one thing. Wasting resources on creating an image or an essay is wasteful and everyone should realize this.
What do you mean “don’t want”?
ChaosGPT, build me a time machine!
I wish this sub didn’t allow low-effort meme posts because it’s such a brain rot circle-jerk.
There are plenty of articles that are written out that you can read. AI takes immense energy to operate, for one. It uses a lot of water. Go down and read what journalists have written, and you’ll find that there are solid points against AI development that name-calling will not do justice.
I almost spit out my breakfast in laughter. Thanks for this one, OP. 😂
…LLM users displayed the weakest connectivity. Cognitive activity scaled down in relation to external tool use… LLM users also struggled to accurately quote their own work. While LLMs offer immediate convenience, our findings highlight potential cognitive costs. Over four months, LLM users consistently underperformed at neural, linguistic, and behavioral levels.
Outsourcing thinking from your brain to an AI literally makes you dumber, less confident in the output, and teaches you nothing.
Call me a Luddite or a hater, but if you’re one of the people who uses AI as a shortcut to actual thought or learning, I will judge you and disregard your output and opinions. Form your own basis of understanding and knowledge instead of a teaspoon deep summary that is frequently incorrect.
They say that, when making an Anki deck, using it is only half the battle because a lot of the learning comes from the act of making it yourself. That advice is older than these LLMs and it really showcases a big reason why they suck. Personally, I haven’t even used autocorrect since 2009.
Being a luddite I feel requires having a highly abstinence-only approach. Knowing what is worth off-loading and what is worth doing yourself is just being smart. I’m really glad that I don’t need to know every detail of modern life but I still take a lot of pride in knowing how quite a lot of it works.
Personally, I haven’t even used autocorrect since 2009
Genuinely the weirdest flex I have ever seen.
Oh for sure, I won’t argue that, but it does explain my point. Even when I use a program with the squiggly red line I correct it myself so that I can reinforce the correct spelling.
No autocorrect? Pfft, filthy casuals. I haven’t even stricken a line through a word since the Carter administration.
Same with using a calculator, no? Or not memorising log tables.
Better comparison would be opening a song on radio and saying “see I can produce music.” You still don’t know about music production in the end.
Personally dont think that’s a good comparison. I would say it’s more like taking a photo and claiming you know how to paint. You’re still actually cre a ting something, but using a digital tool that does it for you. You chose the subject and fiddle with setting to get a better image closer to what you want and then can take it into software to edit it further.
Its art in its own right, but you shouldn’t directly compare it to painting.
Even that is a bad analogy, it’s like commissioning a painter to paint something for you, and then claiming you know how to paint. You told an entity that knows how to do stuff what you wanted, and it gave it to you. Sure, you can ask for tweaks here and there, but in terms of artistic knowledge, you didn’t need any and didn’t provide any, and you didn’t really directly create anything. Taking a decent photo requires more knowledge than generating something on ChatGPT. Not to mention actually being in front of the thing you want a photo of.
I think my analogy is more accurate
Care to explain? I think your analogy gives the credit of art creation to someone who didn’t create art, and thus is flawed.
I mean i think i explained myself quite well already, and not to be insulting to you, but i dont think you’re willing to accept any argument i would make that goes against what you already beleive, since your argument against it simply you asserting your own beliefs (that AI art isnt art) as an immutable fact
LLMs are less replacing the need for log tables, and more replacing the need to understand why you need a log table. Less replacing a calculator and more replacing the fundamental understanding of math. Sure, you could argue that it doesn’t matter if people know math, and in the end you might be right. But given that ChatGPT can and will spit out random numbers instead of a real answer, I’d rather have someone who actually understands math be designing buildings, people who actually understand anatomy and medicine being surgeons. Sure, a computer science guy cheating with ChatGPT through school and his entire career probably won’t be setting anyone back other than himself and the companies that hire him, but they aren’t the only ones using the “shortcut” that is ChatGPT
I was never taught what log tables actually are. Anytime logarithms were brought it, it was just “type it in to your calculator and it will tell you”
That wasn’t my experience in school, but there’s a good chance you were just in an introductory class or similar. However, that doesn’t change anything about my argument. If you need the log of something, you knew that you needed to look up the log in a table to solve the problem. ChatGPT removes the need to even understand that you can use a log to solve a problem, and instead spits out an answer. Yes, people can use ChatGPT to accelerate learning, as one would a calculator, and in those instances I think it’s somewhat valuable if you completely ignore the fact that it will lie to your face and claim to be telling you the truth. However, anecdotally I know quite a few folks that are using it as a replacement for learning/thinking, which is the danger people are talking about.
There’s a key difference between using a tool to crunch a known mathematical equation (because you cannot just say “find X” to the calculator) and having to punch in the right inputs - ergo requiring understanding - and simply asking the teacher for the answer.
Treat AI like the hermit oracle/shaman/divinator of yesteryear, and you’ll get the same results - idiots who don’t know how to think for themselves, and blindly accept what they are told.
I remembered a movie about the future where some guy couldn’t figure out how to insert the right shape into a hole and he tried to insert a cube into a round hole, I don’t remember exactly, but it’s not so funny when it becomes reality… In any case, due to excessive comfort or convenience, the human brain, so to speak, adapts in the bad sense of the word to what is easier.
and that is exactly why rich people are demonstrably dumber and more disconnected than most: their life contains far fewer challenges they actually have to overcome.
Here I probably agree with you… by the way, did you know about secret underground cities for the elite on special nuclear reactors? They hope to avoid problems there if a collapse occurs :333
I agree all rich people are stupid people

Idiocracy - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0387808/
I already watched it the other day to be honest, but thanks anyway. :3
This level of hate is sort of astonishing and also worrying. Doesn’t seem healthy.
We can assume you “love” AI then?
Obviously you already do. You’d be wrong though, I’m very worried about this tool and who gets to control it. And I’m certain this emotional approach is the wrong strategy, as is lobbying about copyright that will make AI models a monopoly in the hands of the plutocrats.
Yeah it’s completely wacky hating on people for using some dumb chatbot.
People would rather hate their neighbor than confront the actual problem - the overwhelming oppression of capitalism, imperialism, etc. Those are the actual reasons why “AI” is terrible.
If AI would make people stupider even without capitalism, imperialism, whatever, then no those are not the only reasons AI is terrible. Making people stupider is terrible. We have brains for a reason. The things we do with those brains are what gives life value. Depending on a technology to think for us is deeply unwise, and a person doing so will become deeply unwell.
Capitalism makes so many things terrible that you just have to go and fight against one of them, even if it’s only one part. Of course it’s technically Capitalism that made AI so horrible, and altho ideally neural networks are a very cool technology, practically they must be fought against to the hilt.
Yeah that comes to mind, a tactic in fascism is to project the hate of people onto someone or something, away from the actual origins of oppression.
People are frustrated and don’t know where to put it. Of course it’s fine to vent, but this post in particular “hates the sinner, not the sin”. It even calls AI users a cuck.
If someone commits the sin of murder for completely unjustified reasons, you bet your ass I’ll hate the sinner, too.
Well this escalated quickly
Those are the actual reasons why “AI” is terrible.
My main problem with it is how confidently incorrect it constantly is, and the fact that the media ignores this completely and pushes this “AI is smart” shit to the point where the average person doesn’t understand that LLMs are just glorified autocomplete.
First you have to realize how fucking stupid half the population is. In the context of the general public unfortunately AI looks like fucking Einstein. Also if you just look at free models than sure its very confidently incorrect alot, however the paid tier models are generally pretty damn good. Of course they aren’t going to be creating anything new or groundbreaking due to the nature of being an improvement of autocomplete with context, but they are becoming pretty exceptional at translating, summarizing, and transcribing. The reality is most people can’t even do that at a basic level so compared to the average joe ai is extremely smart today. Even if that understanding is depressing as shit its not incorrect.
You just perfectly described the average redditor. And I think that’s at the heart of it. How shallow people have become that it’s even a competition.
Of course I’m joking. The average redditor is not much different from the average lemming, and people have always been morons. Like you are saying, people not realizing it’s just glorified autocomplete. And you “bag of water” not realizing that you’re making a category error.
Seems more like mockery than hate.
Don’t dom me into AI 😭
If that’s all it takes for you to give up critical thought, you have far more problems than you’d ever care to admit.
Relax I’m making a dumb joke. Actually you’re always free to insult me moreI would give up critical thought for someone degrading me any day of the week
and you’re against AI?! … fucking enigmas…
Let’s be honest though if there were sex bots AI would be even more popular than it already is
Well I have news for you, my friend.
(Shows all the weird sex AI chatbots)
Nah, man. That won’t cut it.
The day real doll bots can suck dick without me doing anything but watch and enjoy, that’s the day I’ll get one and become asocial.
if that was available, i think it would be harder for alt-right extremism to take hold
I don’t want to steer the conversation towards U.S. politics. Let’s focus on making sex robots that look like Margot Robbie happen once and for all.
Sadly the US isn’t the only place right wing morons have or are gaining traction.
not even just the US but everywhere!
i feel like if everyone could get their PP touched the world would be a better place! and it truly wouldn’t matter if what was touching ones PP was a robot/device/ combination of devices or just another human being. (with their own addictions, triggers, baggage, debt, preconceptions about what the PP holder has to do to justify feeling such a connection)
i know this sounds like Incel talk but that’s precisely the kind of person that can easily get roped into malicious ideologies because nobody wants to suck on their ridiculous unwashed genitals.
those types of people could unload their genetic material into something that will keep them from being unwilling parents forced to raise another human with potentially similar values.
i see a lot of good in a world like that
I love women, but sometimes I just don’t want to deal with the stuff they may bring into a relationship (sexual or otherwise). Not because they’re women. Let’s just say because they’re human.
So it’s not only “incel” men benefitting from this.
“MARGOT!! Time for my nightly oil rub” “Ok, thanks. Please clean and pit yourself away.”
