Author and filmmaker Justine Bateman on generative AI

"They're trying to convince people they can't do the things they've been doing easily for years - to write emails, to write a presentation. Your daughter wants you to make up a bedtime story about puppies - to write that for you." We will get to the point, she says with a grim laugh, "that you will essentially become just a skin bag of organs and bones, nothing else. You won't know anything and you will be told repeatedly that you can't do it, which is the opposite of what life has to offer. Capitulating all kinds of decisions like where to go on vacation, what to wear today, who to date, what to eat.
People are already doing this. You won't have to process grief, because you'll have uploaded photos and voice messages from your mother who just died, and then she can talk to you via AI video call every day. One of the ways it's going to destroy humans, long before there's a nuclear disaster, is going to be the emotional hollowing-out of people." - author and filmmaker Justine Bateman from a piece by Emine Saner for the Guardian

Yeah I saw people on DA doing this to my stuff and saying they were "fans".
Really gross.
Sorry.

My advice would be to watermark the shit crap out of your public uploads or run them through Glaze, if you can.

How would they even enforce this when their current systems are laughably inept as it is?
It can't even correctly detect "sexual" and "artistic" nudity.
I still have images on here that are double tagged with the same labels.

Le sigh.

email/chat isnt worth using when contacting companies. they actively WANT people using those cuz its easy to ignore.

however, sending real irl letters via mail IS a non-phone option that cannot be so easily ignored (they HAVE to open and read each letter)

here's an infographic:

Have you tried the new Shinobi?
Found that one to be quite fun and not nearly as frustrating.

Has a free demo to try.

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages
