Fuck AI

Elon needing to use an AI to engage in a creative activity is the perfect microcosm for the actual problem with how what they are calling “AI” is implemented. I don’t want to see a game made by AI, maybe using it for coding some of the underlying mechanisms but even those I think are made more interesting by a human solving a problem in an innovative way. Not only that I don’t want to see a movie, watch a tv show, read a book, or contemplate a piece of art created by AI in part or whole.

Those are all things I engage with because another human being with a different human experience created it themselves and in the process of creating they’ve actively engaged with their own perspective. The business goblins that are shoehorning it into everything seem to think that humans just want the end product of a work of art because that’s all dumb business goblins want and can conceive of. But if I wrote a book by giving an AI a prompt, I didn’t write that book at all, it barely even qualifies as a book

I want AI to do spreadsheets, automate scheduling coordination, cleaning, laundry, bills, taxes and all the other mind numbing tasks that come with our modern lives. They are doing it backwards
