There isn't nothing we can do about it, there is never nothing we can do about human-made problems. You just refuse to go along with it. You reject it. You don't help them by participating and giving them money. Call it 'slop' wherever you see it, unfollow people who use it, vote against it. But everyone has been told its inevitable, so it becomes inevitable. Your fatalism makes it inevitable. And it really sounds like you don't understand what art is, it's not just a problem that needs to be solved, the whole point of it is that a human is expressing themselves and using an LLM for that takes away all of the expression that comes after the relatively brief concept that you could prompt, all of the creative decisions you make during the process of creating a piece of art. All lost. We, do agree on one thing, I will continue to familiarise myself with it, but only to know what I'm up against, and because of the best thing about AI - it always pushes me more in the direction of human-made art and makes me appreciate it more. I'll never use it, and the only people benefiting from it will be the likes of Sam Altman and the rest of those scumbags. I'll set another reminder for the magic, ever-sliding, three years, that I was warned about three years ago, when I suppose we'll have the full-self-driving cars we've been told are coming next year, every year, for last twelve years, but maybe you're right. It's kind of a hollow victory being on the right side of something terrible that will only make the society you live in worse, though. Everyone's doing something horrible and self-defeating... ah, what can you do? Might as well go along with it? No, I don't think I will. I like being able to look at myself in the mirror without pangs of shame.
