I was going to effort post, but I will just say that this shit truly makes it feel like the world is ending. It’s wild how each day is worse than the last as they continue to force it into anything and everything, and genuinely the only way I can find peace is to spend as much time offline as possible. At this juncture though, it seems almost impossible :/

It's one of those things that just feels like it's not only literally stealing from everyone, but also stealing something from everyone. There's this whole "good enough" mentality that surrounds it that takes away from the hard work required by real people to both create the training data and label it.

It's something that calcifies learning and limits our ability to interact with both technical and artistic creativity on so many levels.

My cousin today was showing me a pitch deck that was sent out by his company where the graphs all had hallucinated numbers and their company logo was re-designed on every slide because whoever made it just clicked "generate slide" 40 times.

Ironically, AI writing is actually worse than just sharing the prompt. Since all it does is fill out words that say what you prompted but in 1000 words instead of 50. Meaning now I have to parse out 950 words of fluff to see what you actually meant.
