Speaking as a sysadmin, I am becoming increasingly distressed at how difficult it is now to excise AI shit from the computers that I manage. It is making me doubt that I am in the right career, and seeing those around me embrace this shit just makes me doubt it even more.
Speaking as an artist with original content that I give away on the Internet, and as a friend of artists who rely on selling their work to survive, I am becoming increasingly distressed at the cavalier way that AI companies are scraping fucking everything and taking credit for it.
When I see a person using AI, even ironically or for humour’s sake, what I see is someone who is OK with artists being disrespected and ignored and pushed into poverty, and I will judge that person accordingly.
Don’t do AI. Burn it to the ground.
