All of us are waiting for the bubble to burst but will it actually affect anything? I think AI has already done so much irreversible damage to Interest & Society(Kinda). I have seen YouTube channels with 100K subs who create AI Slops(Music, Short stupid essay), Xhitter account which have more than 100K followers which pump out good enough art. Even if bubbles burst these tools will go nowhere. Every day I wake up I feel much shittier. I need to puke. I am seeing everything I love getting ruined by soulless bot or greedy humans who don't love art/music/story etc. I am sounding like a boomer but I am in my early 20s actually. I go to reddit there are Pro AI people laughing at us calling us Luddite or "Decel". I have no hope most of you guys are old folk. I want to leave this fast paced world & go do farming at my hometown. Reading Books made by humans and watching some movies made by humans in a week without caring about this whole hellhole. I was so passionate about computer engineering I really loved technology. I was one of the early adopters of Gen AI who loved Midjounery because it was new & looked kinda magical to me now it looks like the most dystopian shit human yet created. I now resent my degree. I am a replaceable human who has no value. Human evolutioned much just to be replaced by some bots so I can do more slavery for corpo lords who believe that capital is ever growing like a cancer cell.
Well I hate to tell you I kinda feel like now your mom. I really want everything to crash but deep down I know it will bring more pain & suffering. So, I will not hope for that.
Oh no, I get it 100%. We've sailed right on past the point of no return. You give treatment to someone that's dying, not a bloated corpse found after a year in a storm drain. No use in CPR anymore.
But, we do need to remember that transition times like this are normal throughout human history. The World Order we all grew up with is 3-4 generations old. Fuck, can you imagine living between 1916 and 1945? What tendentiously shitty time to be alive. WWI and II. Flu Pandemic. The Great Depression. Invention of the black light. JFC. I also want to just get it all over with. But that's not how this works. We all have to live through this. And we can find our little places out of the way to hunker down.
