When I read generated novels, I don't even feel bad, or rather, as if I'm reading something meaningless and empty. When I look at AI-generated memes, I just don't find it funny. When I listen to generated music I feel like it's dead. When I watch AI generated videos I feel sick, this is clearly for some kind of consumers.

And now I don't read or watch or listen to anything new at all. No, now I watch, listen and read old things and yes, I feel good sometimes I even cry understanding how I could not appreciate something so beautiful before.

Yes, I was once a consumer myself, but it always seemed to me that something was wrong, that everything was somehow not right, and when AI learned to create this fake art, I finally understood what exactly was wrong... There was no soul, there was only sterile garbage and now there is more and more of it. And AI makes it even worse. It is the worst invention of humanity at the moment, or one of the worst. Why is it the worst? Because such inventions always fall into unworthy hands, and I think it's time for everyone to admit it.

Well, now to the main thing, are you also now watching, reading or listening to old things in which there is not a drop of AI and sometimes even tears come to your eyes? Or do you just feel alive?

Yes, it's hard to disagree, to be honest, I didn't quite understand what you said. Are you talking about how you look at what AI created and just feel empty? If so, then I was slightly mistaken. I just gave a more or less suitable theory that I knew, since I don't have any better theories... I can describe it like this: it's like you're looking at a beautiful corpse, it doesn't stink, it's kind of alive, beautiful, he talks but he is not alive, he is somehow empty... That is all I can tell you because I don’t know what is really going on in your head.
