“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

got a Kindle Translate Beta survey, despite having told them to fuck off with their AI translation programme, so being a helpful soul, I filled it in.
Would I be interested in answering more of their questions on the subject? Mate, I would be *delighted*.

In fairness, Moby Dick does begin with a seemingly mismatched odd couple accidentally sharing a hotel room with Only One Bed.
So I guess this person thinks that Moby Dick and Invisible Man are both Romantasy? Interesting.
here's the whole comment. imagine thinking that romance and romantasy and YA are the only books written in first person. that's WILLLLLLLLD.

AI is DECIMATING trades you take for granted until they're ruined by reckless slop.

I made $125K in 2022, mostly due to Political work. I might not break $30K this year. And yet I was a finalist for Voice Actor of the Year from the Reed Awards for the best in Political. I'm a master of my craft, at the top of my game.
My profession is DYING. I'm looking for a side hustle.

Attacks on arts/humanities education + the cynical proliferation of A.I. come from the same awful place--the desire of a few people to earn enough superprofits to kill with impunity (and get a third yacht)

1/2 I find myself having to make this point more often.
The muddying of distinction between the bullshit engine and genuinely life-saving applications of ML / AI is intentional. It allows the people trying to sell you genAI to claim noble intent and dismiss legitimate concerns.

Having AI crammed down our throats is bullshit, but machine learning has some real uses in science. This awesome page shows experimental cyclone track forecasts from Google DeepMind and Google Research's AI weather models, along with forecasts from ECMWF. 😍

Planned investment by 2030: $5T
"Necessary" annual revenue to justify that spend: $650B
Current annual revenue: $50B

Three years into the generative-AI wave, demand for the technology seems surprisingly flimsy
Investors expect AI use to soar. That’s not happening
Recent surveys point to flatlining business adoption

My AI anecdote is that I’m writing a story script for a high profile IP project featuring a virtual assistant and received the note: “don’t use the word ‘AI’ in the script because the word is toxic now, plus people will assume it’s giving bad info or evil.”
my “AI is over” anecdote is that my wife was hired over the summer to write scripts for a big tech company explaining how to use their AI tools and after many rounds of revisions, the latest notes said “we’re finding a lot of AI fatigue among our users” and to remove all references to AI
Anecdotally on twitter seeing a big shift the last few days from every AI slop account saying every other creative field is “over” and they’re in control now to now posting about how nobody likes them and it’s not fair and they’ll persevere and real artists respect and uplift eachother

I’m not so naïve to think that AI will go away when the AI bubble bursts (after all the Internet didn’t go away when the dot com bubble burst). But it is really sad that such an unreliable, unethical, and massively polluting technology is embraced by so many.
