How am I supposed to pleasure myself to the new GWAR video if the cum is unethically sourced!?

God, we live in a society, gamers. Gamers rise up.

Yeah, I feel that. Again, I used to be pro AI and my homie did too. We used to get into chats and share AI slop with one another but soon I felt so empty.

Generating AI images feels like gambling in a way. Like it can be funny when it fails, really funny. But passed a point I just felt so fucking empty inside. Was talking to my buddy about it and he agreed, so we both got into drawing for ourselves and felt a lot better lol.

Like okay, we never should have from the start, but both of us now do art on out own. He draws in a notebook and I do pixel art, but I did learn through a very miserable, sloppy journey that the process is just as crucial as the outcome. As a guy who works IT, I feel like I should have know this from the start but oh well.

Did I make a point? I'm gonna be honest, I kinda feel like a just rambled. Like I agree because I was a victim of the slop, I guess.

We should have stopped at Akinator. Every AI passed him isn't needed.

Honestly, using local LLMs on my own computer made the point of how harmful they are hit way more. I got Google's Gemma and ran it on my own hardware and this thing made my poor laptop cry.

Thing is, my specs are really good. Again, my laptop is a beast and it ran like 100% CPU, 100% GPU, and 100% of my 64gb of DDR5 Ram! Seeing it and how hot it made my computer did make me think like... it's one thing to say these are bad for the environment and another to see how demanding this technology is.

And as for it making people stupid? Yeah, it does. A lot of my coworkers who got into using AI can't even write up an email without using AI. I even caught my boss asking Gemini for assistance in budgeting and like bro, you have been doing this for years! You cant budget without AI? What are you, a smooth sloperator?

 

Just gonna say it, back in like 2019-2023, I was EXTREMELY pro AI. I messed around with OpenAI's playground thing, messed around with that Dall-E Mini/craiyon thing, and was one of the first to hop on ChatGPT when it came out.

I had this really dumb opinion that it's just fun stuff to mess around with! This isn't gonna do any real harm! Thinking, stupidly, that most people wouldn't use it to like replace writers or just do their work for them.

It was around 2024 I became a lot more skeptical of it. I kept seeing slop art in like local restaurants and even this one club I used to hit up that I absolutely don't anymore. And the amount of time people say "I asked ChatGPT" drives me up the wall.

Like are you third partying your thinking!? And seeing it just dominate Facebook, Reddit, Twitter, and TikTok also made me begin to lose it. It was literally the Dead Internet Theory becoming a fact. I felt like such an idiot for being pro-AI and thinking people would use it wisely.

That said, I'm not exactly anti-AI, to be fair. I have local LLM models on my computer running through LMStudio if I ever have want or need of these chatbots. It makes it way harder to use it and my poor gaming laptop screams for mercy every time I want to use Qwen, so I dunno.

I guess I'd say I'm AI-Skeptical and leaning more toward negative. But this isn't about me, it's about you. What do you feel about generative AI?

Ublock Origin Lite still works on Ungoogled Chromium for me, at least.

Nah man, we gotta get the cameras RIGHT in his house. What if someone gets in we couldn't see from the outside?

Oh no! This guy is in danger! We should set up a ton of security cameras around his house so we can all keep an eye on him and make sure he's safe!

As much as I do think this is good to push for, the fuck do they mean by the "strictly" necessary thing? I'm from the US and this is what started the shit. IT'S STRICTLY NECESSARY WE STOP KIDS FROM ACCESSING PORN SITES and then it snowballed. I even had to fucking verify just to take a CompTIA test much to my chagrin. I passed btw.

Been messaging the company to ensure they delete my shit before I'm a victim of identity theft.

I miss the old days of AI. I miss shit like CleverBot and SmarterChild. LLMs are fucking lame, man.

[–] LeftReddit2@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

Probably a good thing, honestly. We all need to be more offline anyways.

It’s why I moved onto Lemmy. I can’t stand new Reddit.

Ads in your fucking web browser. I tried searching up something and got a "Sponsored" recommendation. ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!
