I HATE AI. I HATE GENERATIVE LANGUAGE MODELS, I HATE GENERATIVE IMAGE MODELS--WHICH I ABSOLUTELY *REFUSE* TO CALL "ART"--I HATE GENERATIVE VIDEO MODELS, YES EVEN THE YETI VLOG VIDEOS I DON'T GIVE TWO FUCKS IF THEY'RE FUNNY. NO, PUTTING IN AN IMAGE PROMPT IS NOT COMPARABLE TO TAKING A PHOTOGRAPH. NO, PUTTING IN A VIDEO PROMPT IS NOT COMPARABLE TO DIRECTING A MOVIE OR VIDEO. NO, PROMPTING AN AI TO MAKE AN ESSAY OR NARRATIVE IS NOT COMPARABLE TO FUCKING POETRY. PROMPTING A MACHINE TO AMALGAMATE OTHER PEOPLES' WORK DOES NOT MAKE YOU AN ARTIST OF ANY KIND, YOU LAZY SACK OF SHIT.
AND NO, AI IS NOT AN ACCESSABILITY TOOL, NOR IS IT ABLEIST TO DESPISE THESE MACHINES AND ALGORITHMS FOR THE ROT AND LACK OF CREATIVITY THEY HAVE BRED IN HUMANITY. YOU DO NOT NEED AI TO MAKE ART THROUGH YOUR DISABILITY WHEN HELEN FUCKING KELLER WAS ABLE TO WRITE AND SPEAK DESPITE BEING BLIND AND DEAF, AND WHEN STEPHEN HAWKING WROTE SEVERAL BOOKS AFTER LOSING MOTOR FUNCTIONS. YOU KNOW WHAT IS A DISABILITY TOOL? KEYBOARDS. FUCKING KEYBOARDS WERE INVENTED TO HELP THE BLIND WRITE.
AND DON'T GET ME STARTED ON THE EVIL SHIT BEING DONE JUST TO KEEP THESE MACHINES, THESE FUCKING CLANKERS, RUNNING. THESE MODEL SERVERS REGULARLY STEAL CLEAN DRINKING WATER FROM DROUGHT-STRICKEN AREAS BECAUSE THEY USE EVAPORATIVE COOLING. AND YOU REALISE THEY DON'T ACTUALLY CREATE ANYTHING, RIGHT? THEY CAN'T, BECAUSE IN ORDER TO ACTUALLY CREATE SOMETHING NEW YOU HAVE TO HAVE AN IDEA FOR THAT NEW THING AND ACTUALLY PUT IN EFFORT TO BRING IT INTO REALITY, AND AI CAN'T DO THAT, BECAUSE ALL IT CAN DO IS TAKE PIECES OF ARTWORK THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE PUT IN THE EFFORT TO CREATE AND FRANKENSTEIN THEM TOGETHER TO GET AN APPROXIMATION OF WHAT YOU ASKED IT TO MAKE, WITHOUT THEIR FUCKING PERMISSION!!! AND OF COURSE THERE'S THE FACT THAT USING LANGUAGE MODELS AS SEARCH ENGINES INSTEAD OF DOING, YOU KNOW, ACTUAL FUCKING RESEARCH, HAS BEEN LINKED TO LITERAL BRAIN ATROPHY. AND I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH HOW BEAUTIFULLY POETIC I FIND THAT TO BE.
AND FOR ANYONE WHO BELIEVES IN THE INSULTING, ASININE IDEA THAT AI CAN OR SHOULD ACTUALLY REPLACE REAL, HUMAN ART FOR THE SAKE OF "EFFICIENCY," I HOPE YOU ROT IN ALL THE HELLS ALONG WITH YOUR FASCIST BOURGEOIS OLIGARCHS. THE POINT OF ART ISN'T TO MAKE PROFIT, OR TO MAKE ENTERTAINMENT, OR EVEN TO HAVE MADE ART. THE POINT OF MAKING ART IS TO *MAKE ART*. IT IS A FUNDAMENTAL PART OF THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE, AND I FIND THE IDEA OF MACHINES DOING IT INSTEAD TO BE AN AFFRONT TO HUMANITY, AND THE WORLD ITSELF. AND YOU UNDERSTAND THAT AI COULD NEVER EVEN TAKE OVER ACTUAL ART, RIGHT? BECAUSE IT NEEDS A CONSTANT STREAM OF NEW, STOLEN DATA TO BE ABLE TO KEEP MAKING MORE, AND IT WILL ACTUALLY JUST IMPLODE ON ITSELF AND START MAKING UNINTELLIGIBLE MUSH IF ALL IT HAS TO CONSUME IS ITS OWN PRODUCT.
YOU ARE NOT A "PIONEER," YOU ARE NOT AN "INNOVATOR," AND YOU ARE, LEAST OF ALL, NOT A FUCKING ARTIST. Go pick up a pencil, you lazy troglodyte.
