AI
No.
Just no.
I have two statements about AI, and I find both equally important.
I consider AI theft. AI companies steal work of artists, writers and other creatives, but also that of programmers etc to create something at best mediocre. (and don’t get me started on the fact that they CUT UP RARE BOOKS to feed them to the machine. WTF!)
I also consider AI to be a scourge for the planet. If you read how much datacentres consume in resources… Some areas on the planet are starting to get unliveable because datacentres put their used water back into the system and it’s polluted. And the noise is another pollution factor.
I don’t use AI, I will never use it.
I do recognise that it could possibly do good in medical research for instance, but the bad so far outweighs the good, especially because all AI companies seem to be for profit, and there’s no profit in curing disease, I guess?
I will defend human creativity until my last breath, and I will probably haunt the people running datacentres after. Seems to be a good existence for a ghost.
