I don’t hate AI itself, but the amount of AI slop ruining the internet gives me a negative feeling about it whenever I see it. I used to enjoy fucking around with the early pre-2021 GANs, diffusion models and GPT3 playground before ChatGPT was around and actually liked the crazy dreamlike nonsense they made, but now it all feels like dead soulless crap getting used to replace humans. Probably going to get super downvoted for admitting to ever liking AI image gens lmao


I liked AI in Star Trek when it could carry on conversations with crew members.
Then I didn’t like it when it washed war on humanity in Terminator 2.
I see the promise in AI. I also see it encouraging suicide, grooming young people, and stealing from artists. I cannot support any of that.
