hiiii maria!! :3 i have nothing against the technologies behind ai, you know, large language models and all that, the tech itself is just that, a tech i do have a big problem with the way it’s used tho, how companies are forcing its use, how they (the companies) and their tools make people lose their jobs, fill the internet with low quality stuff, lead to sloppy work all over, and try to make us cognitively dependent on them, all the while polluting the environment with all of this… but like i said in another comment the root problem here is capitalism, none of the problems of ai are exclusive to it it’s a tool, like a knife, you know? a knife can be used to stab people, but it can also be used to cook delicious meals. it’s just that with ai there’s been a ton of stabbing and not much cooking… imo ai is fine when it’s very specific tasks run locally that are double-checked by a human, like isolating a voice track in a song, generating automatic subtitles (and cleaning them manually afterwards, this part is important, looking at you youtube), isolating a subject from its background in a photo… but generating entire images, vibecoding or writing essays? that’s where we enter stab territory imo, especially when you do those on a big datacenter at the end of the day, if you don’t agree with me that’s fine. i’m not gonna pretend i’m a beacon of moral purity either. i’m not vegan, i drive a car, and i am the descendant of colonizers, living on the land they stole…
