It's crazy to watch the insane level of outrage that the existence and growth of AI produced content stirs up in some people when it seems obvious that the development of AI is unstoppable. It's like watching people get angry at the first steam engines that appeared. I genuinely worry about their mental health over the next few years as they realise that being angry on the internet isn't going to slow anything down at all.
I worry about the mental health of people that attempt to protect an overinflated technology and attack the mental fortitude of people who bring real problems up with the technology. this is especially true since those same white knights are literally being institutionalized for psychosis and are actively creating cults around specific models.
it's absurd that people lacking the mental capacity to understand "a machine is not alive" have a seat at the table to discus the dangers presented by AI.
just want to point out that no technology in recorded history is "unstoppable", though it seems like that was said more to convince yourself than us.
Neither I, nor anyone, can "protect" it or slow it down. You either find a way to work with what's happening or spiral into greater and greater impotent rage. Better accept this now than slowly go mad no?
People said the metaverse was inevitable. Bitcoin was at one time inevitable.
Frankly, I think more impotent rage is needed.
