I’ve noticed an uptick in the number of pro-AI posts on this platform.

Various posts with titles similar to “When will people stop being afraid of AI” or “Can we please acknowledge AI was very needed for X

Can’t tell if its the propaganda machine invading, or annoying teenage tech-bros who are detached from reality.

    You’ll only make me dislike “your side” even more.

    The fact that you know this, state this, and will do this is exactly why we’re doomed as a species.

    If you know what your lizard brain is doing and that it’s activated, at least have the good sense to not still pretend it’s someone else’s fault.

      No.

      Being a persuasive communicator and recruiting people to one’s political agenda has never been a matter of pure logic and reason: going around insulting “the other side” will not work.

      Not that anything would: I judge the value of X by X. X could have been made by a sandstorm: if it’s beautiful it’s beautiful.

      A piece of music, for example, is either enjoyable or it isn’t. Admittedly AI music has a way to go yet - but it’s clearly already superior to a percentage of human made music.

        A piece of music, for example, is either enjoyable or it isn’t.

        Or it grows on you over time and expands your range as a listener.

        But 🤷 you’re just looking for mediocre simulacrums of art anyway, so of course you’re into GenAI “art”.
