My understanding is most of you are anti AI? My only question is....why? It is the coolest invention since the Internet and it is remarkable how close it can resemble actual consciousness. No joke the AI in sci fi movies is worse than what we actually have in many ways!

Don't get me wrong, I am absolutely anti "AI baked into my operating system and cell phone so that it can monitor me and sell me crap". If that's what being Anti AI is.....to that I say Amen.

But simply not liking a privacy conscious experience or utilization of AI at all? I'm not getting it?

It is unimaginative

Can you make an example of something 100% original that was not inspired by anything that came before?

That's not what imaginative means.

If you'd like an example of AI being exceptionally boring to look at, though, peruse through any rule 34 site that has had its catalogue overrun with AI spam: an endless see of images that all have the same artstyle, the same color choices, the same perspective, the same poses, the same personality; a flipbook of allegedly different characters that all. look. fucking. identical.

I'm not joking: I was once so bored by the AI garbage presented to me, I actually just stopped jerking off.

If you people would do something interesting with your novelty toy, I would be like 10% less mad about it.

Ironically you just said that artists are wrong to be concerned.

The threat of AI is not that it will be more human than human. It is that it will become so ubiquitous that real people are hard to find.

I couldn't find many real people.

Are you sure that I'm real?
