a stinky ox 🐂

I don't want to outsource my thinking to a machine.

I don't want "art" averaged from some aggregation of actual artists' work.

I can write my own fucking emails.

I can write my own fucking code and design my own fucking games.

And I want art that comes from the brains of human artists. Who feel and whose soul goes into their work.

All this stuff is clever and I am sure there are uses for it but the things that are actually valuable in life can't be reduced to a fucking prompt.

FFS. 🦬

@llamasoft_ox AI can't be gay so fuck it. (Can't fuck AI so it -- fuck, I got nothin.)

@llamasoft_ox couldn’t agree with you more - I’m a full-on atheist but after seeing, reading and hearing some of the stuff created by AI, I’m starting to believe that there might be such a thing as the human soul

@tonylongworth @llamasoft_ox its not so much that I think that humans (or even animals) are uniquely granted a soul.

It's more that *waves hands vaguely at LLMs* it's not *that*

Have we (species/society/technology/whatever) really set the bar for intelligence so low?

@llamasoft_ox I want to make silly meaningless anti-art, and diffusion models are just perfect for that, especially if they make weird mistakes and strange artifacts.

@llamasoft_ox and is not even to the machine but to the glass eye tech bros than control the machine

@llamasoft_ox I think you're being very mean and not considering the needs of the poor shareholders 🥺

@llamasoft_ox "I don't want AI writing my books and drawing my pictures so I can do laundry and dishes. I want AI to do the dishes and laundry so I can write and draw."

@llamasoft_ox
Why wouldn't you want everything to be mathematically generated from the stolen works of someone else?

@llamasoft_ox i just spent an hour making specific sequences for my drum track. i'll spend a few more before i'm done, too!
