I feel like Zambezi and Haruko would be friends… or they’d hate each other deeply, they’re both directionally volatile (play star fetchers)

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 book about a guy reading a manuscript from a guy writing about a documentary about a house that shouldn’t exist…
When I put it like that it sounds less scary

Fun little Star Fetchers storyboard #starfetchers

Phenack @phenack.bsky.social · Jun 21

the frog door being the only one clearly labeled in the storyboard is interesting, I thought there was a chance that some elements were inconsequential like caufmo and the mannequin doors in the same sequence but this very clearly isnt one of those

Wha-?! How did the human that lives in my basement get a cameo in #DateEverything and I DIDN'T???

(That's right, you can date the human behind the blue goddess in DATE EVERYTHING! Hope you've brushed up on your history facts, you'll need it to earn my love!)
