"Artificial Intelligence" is being forced on us from every direction, but we don't have to take it.
We can side with organic intelligence, instead.Of all the things that generative AI technology could be used for, the one that makes the least sense is to attempt to replace human creativity.
And no, writing prompts isn’t a creative act.
Those who can, do.
Those who are too lazy to even try, rely on AI.
Generative AI is fundamentally based on theft. LLMs are only able to imitate the work of human artists because they have been trained on their work, almost always without permission. It’s industrialized copyright violation.
Fundamentally, generative AI steals the labor of working creators while using it to create tools that are subsequently used to put the same artists out of work, while universally lowering the standard of work being made, and lining the pockets of billionaires.
