Yeah, the problem with this comic is that it somewhat minimizes how <technology> can exacerbate the ongoing problems.

i still think it holds up tbqh, ai exacerbates and concentrates many problems but it doesn't really create new ones. content farm slop existed before ai, it's just easier to make now. people who use ai for everything already didn't give a shit about most things. people are still making awesome music and art. there are still many smart, talented people and there still will be. and we were already alienated.

as always, the problem is capitalism

Which? They all seem accurate

It made people violent, and crime rate went up like crazy.

That's why we started asking.

I fear that this is to much of a sensible take for lemmy nowadays. There have always been dumb arguments, but anecdotally I think we’ve been invaded by either bots or the general public. But should use statistics to back this up. Another project on the pile.

Welcome to life, boyo

The VR industry.

Physical scale modeling. There's already VR headsets actively used to preview 3D models of things like vehicles and architectural blueprints.

hiiii maria!! :3 🧡

i hope you’re doing well!

i have nothing against the technologies behind ai, you know, large language models and all that, the tech itself is just that, a tech

i do have a big problem with the way it’s used tho, how companies are forcing its use, how they (the companies) and their tools make people lose their jobs, fill the internet with low quality stuff, lead to sloppy work all over, and try to make us cognitively dependent on them, all the while polluting the environment with all of this… but like i said in another comment the root problem here is capitalism, none of the problems of ai are exclusive to it

it’s a tool, like a knife, you know? a knife can be used to stab people, but it can also be used to cook delicious meals. it’s just that with ai there’s been a ton of stabbing and not much cooking…

imo ai is fine when it’s very specific tasks run locally that are double-checked by a human, like isolating a voice track in a song, generating automatic subtitles (and cleaning them manually afterwards, this part is important, looking at you youtube), isolating a subject from its background in a photo… but generating entire images, vibecoding or writing essays? that’s where we enter stab territory imo, especially when you do those on a big datacenter

at the end of the day, if you don’t agree with me that’s fine. i’m not gonna pretend i’m a beacon of moral purity either. i’m not vegan, i drive a car, and i am the descendant of colonizers, living on the land they stole…

It's a great comic because it's still up to date

It needs to be updated for Music and Art to Yes.

Typewriters didn't destroy calligraphy and cameras didn't destroy painting.
