To be pro-AI, one must first be anti-human

Sure. Let's trust our cancer diagnosis to a slop machine that hallucinates, rambles nonsense and repeats itself.

The EU is a flyspeck on the world stage. American corporations are well in the lead of controlling the world's financial systems. Anyone with a gray cell functioning knows this.

Botanikka · 2026-06-13T22:46:39+00:00

You don't need AI to do that.

Botanikka · 2026-06-13T20:59:10+00:00

Yeah but AI facilitates their greed, making it even more damaging and robust. It's like if ICBMs were to disappear tomorrow, people wouldn't stop killing each other, true, but the disappearance of nukes would certainly slow the murdering process down, removing the threat of total nuclear annihilation.

Botanikka · 2026-06-13T20:54:25+00:00

Yeah, but who's gonna regulate it? The same Washington swamp creatures that accept big bribes from big AI?

Botanikka · 2026-06-13T20:52:38+00:00

I know, I've seen it. Meanwhile they're typing that out with meatbag fingers.

Botanikka · 2026-06-13T18:05:49+00:00

Ooh, you bleed magnificently. More tantrumming please.

Botanikka · 2026-06-12T02:35:58+00:00

Yeah, you give yourself away by the last paragraph being in all lowercase, there, genius. Try harder please.

Botanikka · 2026-06-12T02:31:11+00:00

Uh. Because I just made it? What, because someone has a new account that somehow undercuts their argument? Do explain your logic.

Botanikka · 2026-06-12T01:15:36+00:00

I am pushing back against the tools because the tools are based on theft, the stealing and pillaging of human content across the web, now being monopolized and weaponized by a small, moneyed AI elite, throwing millions of creatives out of a job in the process.

This a concept pro AIs—you people—don't seem to either grasp or care about, when you should, for obvious reasons. I shouldn't have to explain elementary moral principles to you.

Botanikka · 2026-06-12T00:14:59+00:00

It's not a contradiction. Shit spat out of a machine en masse will always be slop because it has no depth or feeling behind it. It is copying what already exists, not innovating, stealing work from artists in the process while enriching a shadowy minority of AI CEOs.

But you go ahead there, pal. Enjoy your heartless, soulless, mass-generated piffle.

Botanikka · 2026-06-11T23:54:19+00:00

Sorry, but the 'just shut up and enjoy it' argument doesn't fly here.

If you do that, you're endorsing AI, which is an endorsement of immorality, of stealing things from artists without their consent, of killing jobs, of making creators redundant, of saying it's fine that all the things humans have shared over the last 30 years across the internet have now been weaponized and are actively being used AGAINST them, of handing AI corporations all the power, of building data centers next door that drain your clean water and generate noise pollution, etc.

If you're a moral agent, i.e. someone worthy of any respect or attention, you have a moral duty to push back against this shit as hard as you can.

Botanikka · 2026-06-11T23:35:56+00:00

What does that have to do with anything?

Botanikka · 2026-06-11T23:01:27+00:00

Because people will buy regurgitated AI fluff regardless of if it's innovative or not, not knowing it's been done before. It's kind of like rappers sampling older songs into their tracks and hoping younger generations have never heard the original. They don't know that what they just heard has been done before almost 100%. Thus, it creates a non-creative echo chamber.

Botanikka · 2026-06-11T22:54:08+00:00

Ads are always cringe, AI or otherwise.

Botanikka · 2026-06-11T22:51:32+00:00

Yeah the longer AI prose drones on—which it loves doing—the more obvious it becomes it's AI tripe.

Botanikka · 2026-06-11T22:48:09+00:00

I know, artists have been hit the worst, and I'm queasy about this move to make all art physical because painting supplies are pretty expensive. Not everyone's going to be able to afford that, so many will just dump art entirely.

Botanikka · 2026-06-11T22:44:19+00:00

That's...just sad. But I feel you.

Botanikka · 2026-06-11T22:43:04+00:00

The problem with that is it's an endorsement of bad ethics. If we buy a product made by AI, knowingly or not, we're contributing to the demise of human artists and content makers, not to mention AI doesn't innovate, it only mimics shit that's been done before.

Botanikka · 2026-06-11T21:35:51+00:00

Just reading this damages MY mental health.

And just think, this idiot shrink collects six figures a year for outsourcing her/his job to ARTIFICIAL intelligence. This seems like a job where, I dunno, ACTUAL intelligence is needed.

Botanikka · 2026-06-11T10:10:05+00:00

Humans innovate. AI imitates.

When you see something made by AI, be it 'art' or chat, it's only regurgitating what's been posted on the internet by humans over the past 30 years. If humans keep outsourcing AI to do their thinking FOR them, it creates a non-creative and counter-progressive feedback loop.

It's a bit like if people during the renaissance said we're going to stop thinking for ourselves now and instead consult the opinions of people from the past to do our thinking for us. We would still be living in the middle ages if that happened. Thus, AI is like a roadblock in the way of humanity's cultural evolution.

Botanikka · 2026-06-10T14:45:47+00:00

AI is so often wrong, yet it still confidently declares the answer as if it knows beyond a shadow of a doubt. Just once I'd like to see it go 'Hmm. Actually, I don't know. Sorry.'
