No.

“Hesseltine says an unknown white substance got on his uniform during the vehicle search…while putting handcuffs on the men, he fell & cut his arm. A minute later, he felt like something was wrong…”What we're assuming happened is, that same powder that was on the front was possibly on my arm.””

making art, honing a craft, considering your audience, learning and improving? lazy. typing "generate hour long audio of two guys chattin bout tv show"? herculean effort.

While defending the luddite argument in Discord, I stumbled into this IMO succinct explanation for opposing generative AI:

At every step in the process, it impoverishes us.

AI impoverishes us at every step of the process:
- data centers pollute our environment
- energy use drives up costs
- content theft robs creators of income
- the actual output is used to displace workers and depress wages
- using it harms our mental health and impairs our competence
- the flood of AI slop is damaging our sociopolitical landscape

All in service of making a worse product - and world - to enrich a handful of already spectacularly wealthy people
