But seriously. I still appreciate the AI resistance, but if we put half the time and effort from anti-AI posts into rewarding human creative, mental, intellectual, and emotional labor (especially that which happens for free, monetarily) by commenting, encouraging, and engaging, we would keep more humans in the game.
Part of why AI-generated content is so dominant is that AI can produce endlessly, while it takes humans consideranble energy.
Like, I'm tired, discouraged, hopeless, and depressed. Every time I share a piece of writing the following silence and indifference makes me want to never share anything again. I keep doing it because I have no self-respect and self-worth, but next time you post angrily about individuals (ab)using AI, consider writing a heartfelt, long comment so they don't quite.
Like, with every upload, I want to give up on my worhless creativity a little more. Because who gives a fuck?
You can't really hate that much on the CEO who fires creatives or laborers in general if you, too, are not willing to reward/reimburse free creative labor at least emotionally.
