Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

He is so close. He just needs to make the same connection he's made to every application of LLMs. All of it is low-quality, useless drivel that is actively making the world a worse place.

Who even cares about the quality. That makes it seem like a solvable problem. AI use is fundamentally alienating. No amount of quality redeems this fact, when you see an AI generated person your brain is registering a non-human as a human. When you draft an AI generated email or report you're allowing a machine to communicate with other humans using its voice. Reading content changes your brain, this used to mean changing your brain TOWARDS another human, AI generated content means your brain is changing towards a machine's language.

This might not seem so bad if it were not that these machines are owned and controlled by a person. Everytime you use or consume AI you alienate yourself from other humans and bind yourself to a rich person's machine.

Marx envisioned private ownership of the means of production as alienating a worker from his labour. Never did he imagine private ownership of the means of production alienating a human from his humanity whether he works or not.
