re: generative AI

I have finally fully and accurately explained my problem with how it’s marketed and used.

And now, you can use it, too.

Generative Al is being marketed as a tool designed to reduce or eliminate the need for developed, cognitive skillsets. It uses the work of others to simulate human output, except that it lacks grasp of nuance, contains grievous errors, and ultimately serves the goal of human beings being neurologically weaker due to the promise of the machine being better equipped than the humans using it would ever exert the effort to be.

The people that use generative Al for art have no interest in being an artist; they simply want product to consume and forget about when the next piece of product goes by their eyes. The people that use generative Al to make music have no interest in being a musician; they simply want a machine to make them something to listen to until they get bored and want the machine to make some other disposable slop for them to pass the time with.

The people that use generative Al to write things for them have no interest in writing. The people that use generative Al to find factoids have no interest in actual facts. The people that use generative Al to socialize have no interest in actual socialization.

In every case, they've handed over the cognitive load of developing a necessary, creative human skillset to a machine that promises to ease the sweat equity cost of struggle. Using generative Al is like asking a machine to lift weights on your behalf and then calling yourself a bodybuilder when it's done with the reps. You build nothing in terms of muscle, you are not stronger, you are not faster, you are not in better shape.

You're just deluding yourself while experiencing a slow decline due to self-inflicted atrophy.

A comic about how negative 'messages' from an abusive parent can become ingrained in our being. Having a healthy support network can help combat the messages by providing a different point of view...

#comic #manga #cartoon #rabbits #illustration #mentalhealth #cptsd

A comic featuring a cartoon rabbit receiving a letter from their dad. The letter says "You are pathetic, hopeless and you'll NEVER amount to anything!". The rabbit throws the letter in the bin but then accidently trips over a leaf. The rabbit says to themself "He's right, I am pathetic...".

The rabbit's friend hands them a letter. "Hey! This letter also came for you today". The rabbit opens it and it says "To my best pal, YOU ARE ENOUGH!". The rabbit's friend smiles and they hug. The rabbit says "Thanks Buddy".
