I can't wait for thousands of persons to get their life and how they see love and relationships completely destroyed by AI-generated porn and adult content. We might even see more people like him on the streets.

Personally I'm appalled by the things higher education demands of us to get diplomas, and would like to see someone create a moral case against cheating in these things which doesn't also have to conclude that the tests and assessments themselves are bad. Everything that using ChatGPT is supposedly undercutting is already ruined by the nature of the tests. High level academic work might as well be AI generated already. The standard for a long time now has been to remove as much personality and human perspective from your work as possible and pretend to be a perfect robotic observer of the subject at hand because this makes quantifying quality easy and it's something stupid people can do better than real thought. Levels things out nice and clean. Requires a far lower capacity to synthesise a breadth of knowledge organically. Etc.A friend of mine who also writes showed me an article this morning. Some guy apparently got his diploma using ChatGPT and the article was all about how neural networks are our future, how it's stupid to ban them like banning calculators, and how five years from now it will be the norm and AI will be indispensable to process tons of information. I was absolutely appalled by this. It's cheating,
The question should be; "Where has it already gone?" The age of empty media is already here. We've been living in it for at least a decade now. Literature has been dead for decades. Most "artists" are just masterless craftsmen making meaningless stuff for the sake of it. We're so far gone as a culture that the term "art" just means "crafted visual work". What's the difference between a culture that only looks at AI prompts and a culture that only looks at furry-commissioned "artist" products? What's the damn difference? Keywords go in one side, "art" comes out the other. This is just giving people what they want.the issue comes when AI starts creating things, whether it's art, articles, or simply... "thoughts" and actions. AI art, for example, should always be certified as AI art somewhere in the file or on the picture itself, as to differentiate it from man-made art. AI-generated text, as well. Anything made by AI should be certified as such. Back to what my friend said about AI writing possibly better books than a human, that makes me think, where would human creativity go?
"Where would the human mind go?" Again. It's already gone.For the exams and studying, where would the human mind go? Is anything purely man-made going to be "dirty" or "low" in some way? I'm afraid it will make people lazy, unable to create or do anything on their own, and so dependent on technology (if they cannot be more dependent on it now) that in case of a blackout or another issue, they are completely unable to do anything on their own. Hell even in my future English classes I don't plan on using a lot of tech. If I can stay low or lowish tech, that's better and simpler.
All of these things, like the others, are what will naturally follow from giving power to third worlders and women. Remember when our governments placed us under house arrest for two years? Where was empathy then?One of the things that scare me the most with AI is that it will never be capable of empathy. At best, we can make it into something that speaks beautiful words, which says what you want to hear (or what whoever the fuck programmed it wants you to hear), but it will never experience empathy, for empathy is a capacity found in things that are alive. An AI is not alive. It's purely a program, an algorithm, a robot. It will always be our equiveltn of psychopathic in nature. Something that can speak well and seem like it feels, but ultimately is cold and dead. A police robot would kill protesters without a second thought. A policeman may think twice if you're a woman, elder, or a child. If you've got an AI "friend", it will never be a real friend. It will never be here for you like a friend is, it can even turn you on to the authorities if told to do so, and it can be pirated at a distance for information-gathering purposes. I'm pretty sure some people could be found dead from apparently natural causes in their smart homes, but could've been assassinated with the aid of the AI inside. Who the fuck knows. I don't fucking trust a psychopath, and I'm certainly not trusting something that is incapable of empathy and feeling.
I'm quite concerned too, just I think that everything that's going to go seriously wrong in relation to AI won't be because of it. It'll be because of the cultural trajectory that we've already been on for decades. AI is probably going to be another scapegoat soon. Soulless inhuman AI content making urban youth lack empathy.But in the face of people like that, so many people my age who are bathed in technology from the youngest age and don't seem to question it or realize how dangerous it can get, praising how good tech is, smart people like this guy who are for this, I can't help but feel like, you know, maybe something's just wrong with me? Like I'm just dumb? A retarded boomer? An uncultured swine? An old lady stuck in the past? Someone backwards or who is against any kind of change? It's a normal human thing to feel weird about one's convictions in the face of an overwhelmingly opposite majority. Besides, as I said, I'm pretty sensitive lately, so it doesn't make it really easier. I feel that something must be wrong with me for me not being able to appreciate humanity's progress. I live in supposedly the best period to be alive yet I have some serious issues with the place of tech in our lives, and something in this modern life has always felt off to me. I mean, there IS something off. The sheer amount of surveillance, the consoomerization of everything including human relationships, the overabundance of "freedom" that is just basically debauchery, the fall of proper parenting, the polarization of everything, the politicization of everything also... there IS something off in this world. I feel that even if I'm currently doubting myself, I actually have a good reason to be concerned about this supposed "progress" and humanity's seeming obsession with it, how they are always chasing something "better" or "higher", as if one's natural condition of a rather smart animal living in a natural or semi-natural world is somehow shameful or bad.
Are you really alienated by humanity's merciless, relentless, upward drive for perfection and exploration? Or are you alienated by widespread incompetence and idiocy? The human race didn't get less creative because we're all too busy building moonbases.What's wrong with being human? With having a physical body, limitations that are inherent to this, and such? With needs, with wants and hopes? With a connection to a nature we are getting further and further away from, provoking more and more disorder in the psyche and health? What's wrong with wanting to stay on Earth rather than space travel, build bases on the Moon/Mars and discover supposedly "greener" pastures, or possibly habitable planets when we've already got one to take care of? Why is it that what people have never seems to be enough? What's wrong with being against ultimately useless or dangerous "progress"? It's not going to make us anything less than we are. Because no matter how much we delude ourselves into thinking we're superior beings, at the end of the day, we're just apes with a big brain and a just as big superiority complex.
At least you have Agora Road...I don't know what else to say. I'm upset. I sometimes already feel pretty alone in the fact I'm not into mainstream social media, but for the AI thing, and my rejection of technological progress, I have these thoughts that maybe people will stop loving me, that I'm just an annoying backwards schmuck or a killjoy who has nothing nice to say. It's human and normal to want love from others, and to feel sad when feeling a disconnection from them. We are social creatures after all...
Me. I use it for tons of stuff. TTRPG tokens, customised data banks to store the information of the world I'm running, custom theme songs for the opening closing segments, suggestions for old anime that's not the surface level stuff people discuss regularly, as a search engine....Do you know anyone irl who occupies their mind with AI? Someone who cannot go a day without mentioning AI?
No, lol, I used to be but I started keto in early 2022 and lost 150lbs, I'm just average body now but I'm lifting weights every day to get rid of these residual mantits that look like sad dog ears on my chest, otherwise I'm in the healthy range of my BMI, I'd lose more but I can't stop stuffing my face with jalapeno poppers.Huh. Well, this is awkward - I was supposed to ask a few more questions about the person's interests, but since it's you directly, we can skip those. I that case, I'm not sure how to transition to the actual important question, so I'll just ask - are you overweight? (Yes, I'm serious.)
Actually, I'm referring to scams like someone using AI to change their voice and pretend to be another person such as a family member or friend of someone, convincing the victim to give them money via private messages. Grandmas on WhatsApp fall for scams like these all the time, even my mother almost fell for one of these.Call centers got really good at this, they got the background noise, stuttering, imperfections in speech and everything. Now I have to think twice before being rude to a call bot that wants to sell me house appliances because it might actually be a person. Likewise, I cannot be polite to the caller before establishing if they are human, because if I act polite to a bot, I must curl up into a ball and spin on the floor in shame. Silence and pretending to have a bad connection usually works. The bots repeat themselves.
