I was recently accused on Lemmy of using AI to write up a post (laced with links to appropriate Wikipedia articles).
I'm still not sure how I feel about it.
That's because machines don't have feelings. /s
Did you use an emdash
Oh you used a big word, AI phony!
Nah dude, I just . . . know how to write?
It really doesn't help that in the US there's a major literacy crisis.
real human intelligence seems utterly alien in this world
This is the shit state of the world now. Everything gets accused of being AI by someone. The AI tech bros have well and truly won. They've poisoned everything.
Well back in the day I when playing competitive fps in european ladder my own clanmates accused me of cheating
Its kinda of flattering, isnt it?
This is exactly why I hold anti-AI folk in low regard, because they have yet to demonstrate their "detection" abilities to discern between human and generated creations. They are basically psychics and ghost whisperers.
It's worse than that. They're not just pretending about their abilities for clout. They're actively following their emotions and attacking people they don't like with AI accusations or just plain old harassment. I've been sexually harassed by these assholes.
You might have a point in utilitarian matters where functionality is all that matters, but how can you possibly say that when it comes to art? If I write some software for my boss using an LLM and it works just as well as hand-written software that's one thing, but if I commissioned some art and got back some prompt-bro's artefact I'd have a right to be miffed about it.
The intent behind the work matters so much in any work of art, I don't want to hear AI music in particular because I'm a musician myself and I want to know what a fellow musician thinks, I specifically want to know a small part of the inside of their mind by listening to their works. Even if AI music is indistinguishable from actual music, I don't care for it because the expressive bandwidth of prompting is tiny compared to an instrument, it tells me nothing of the person who created it. In my opinion nobody can make art of any sort without exposing themselves in some sense, but what is exposed about a person by prompting an AI music bot? People saying 'well if you can't tell the difference between real art and AI art you have no business commenting' are missing the whole point of why people undertake an artistic project in my opinion.
As AI gets better this is increasingly true too. Back when it was irregular fingers it was a lot easier. And tbh, there is plenty of AI content I don't really mind.
Its often ok. It doesn't have to be great if there is little to no high quality human made content to compare it to in the same niche. I don't think any human artists have made an album about the Isstvan massacre.
How on Earth are there warhammer fans who haven't heard of Bolt Thrower?
