Firstly, art and creativity are turning into a kind of Lego constructor with minimal value, and secondly, it is becoming more and more difficult to trust the news, because AI makes better and better deepfakes; Thirdly, people, for example, I have a friend on the Internet, but due to the frequent use of AI, he has become quite apathetic, I try to support him and somehow help him, as I did before, but more and more often he just ignores me and brushes me off with a simple thank you or bye, and if we communicate, then not for long, since he does not listen to me, but usually he shows me masterpieces or memes that he has generated with the help of AI, calling it real art, honestly, it is more and more unpleasant for me to communicate with him.
I hope I explained clearly, sorry, the exact explanations are not about me.
I’m ambivalent about it.
On the one hand, it’s just math. It’s the way reality works for some reason. So may as well get used to it.
On the other hand, capitalism takes what should be a gift to humanity and makes every aspect of it insufferable. From unethical training methods to inefficient, monolithic implementations to offensive marketing to equipment shortages, there’s a lot to hate.
I don’t think it inherently devalues people or art, though. It’s capitalists who are trying to use it for that.
It certainly doesn’t devalue real art by real people, but it clearly is doing serious harm to humanity as a whole. Even for those of us that refuse to use it, it’s becoming harder and harder to navigate the world. The internet is absolutely overflowing with slop to the point at which you have no idea what’s real or not anymore. Open source maintainers are being overrun with slop “contributions”, leading to tons of churn and burnout. We are, at this very moment, existing in the shattered remains of the internet. And people that do use these things are experiencing marked detrimental effects, from delusional behavior to cognitive and neurological impacts.
The intersection of this technology and human psychology is something insidious and devasting. We are like a people exposed to a brand new virus for the first time, with no natural defense against the infection.
