No, killing Art and turning your brain into sludge is just the by-product. The intention of the techno fascists is to create a permanent underclass, forced to serve the rich and live in poverty. You know, slavery for everyone except the 1%.
Just imagine a future where police and military are just drones controlled by an AI. Jobs are few and therefore badly paid. And on top of it the rich in their luxury bunkers watching us fight for the scraps and dying from climate change and malnutrition.
AI "works of art"... are not about genuine personal expression or interpretation channeled through art and literature by hand and DIY, but rather the production of art and literature entirely using LLMs just purely for personal convenience and gain, in either clout or money or both.
That you have these supposed cheap "creatives" choosing NOT to DIY and set asides time to learn how to master a new art form, and instead grab an LLM box and type anything they want and the machines bring the finished product to their table... which so smacks of instant gratification.
Fascism is not just all of its symptoms Umberto Eco talked about, but also plundering art and literature to kill off genuine expression and skill, in favor of mass-produced capricious slop.
It's a machine that makes your selfish, ignorant visions, the ones you wish were true, feel tangible - and that's enough for a broken person to believe. "I wish mr. trump had big sweaty muscles, oh boy..."
People who love AI also cheat at solitaire.
On top of that, the elites have a problem: they hate educated people because they don't fall for the lies, but they need their "smartness". AI is their attempt to separate the knowledge and skills from the people.
i use AI, i think how it's used is very important. also, on the topic of data centers, one way or another, data centers will need to be built to scale up for any type of application. yes, i disagree with the insane water consumption, but we either halt technology as it stands now, or minimize how we use technology (i.e not relying on the cloud, web 2.0/web 3.0)
Yeah, pretty much. I'm enjoying having it do some stuff for me. The people making it are absolute lunatics.
Lefties and "anarchists" defending it is funniest shit I can observe in the wild
A lot of tech bros who were deeply into crypto currency scams before they latched onto AI. There was a fair bit of anti-government feeling to that lot. Naturally scammers and criminals fear regulation. Now they arguably control the government it is more about retaining their influence. It can be difficult to separate self interest and politics with the rich. I think amongst average people distrust of AI is fairly split across political divides but that might change with funded, targeted campaigns.
Now I remember why I left the fediverse. Good luck with your irrelevance, everyone.
