AI is great if you want a world of people who do not think, but let a computer tell them what the correct thought is.
AI is great if you want a world of people who do not create, but let a computer tell them what to look at.

I think it's absolutely useful for production and cost reduction (with some fun other uses on the side) but at the same time a detrimental crutch.

I used to scoff at teachers complaining how the calculator would damage and diminish a person's ability to do math without one but here we are, at a point where morons (usually in university, too!) are just straight up getting AI to do all their homework and essays for them...and their utter incompetence goes on full display when you put them in a controlled environment without access to it.

Generative AI is hot dogshit.

AI is useful but only about things you already know or almost know because LLMs see no difference between giving you the answer and giving you a sufficiently compelling lie

AI easily shows me the pornographic content I want

Personally, spent years for art and was a big burden for my parents then lost my job and clients because people here don't care much about "artistic" and "details". So, yeah beside some good ones just for fapping, I hate it.

It's not that bad. The AI marketing is mostly hype and would go back to normal once the bubble pops.

Plenty of things get labeled as AI that had no business being so like paint or building materials. Actual grift or PR guys talking out their ass.

AI will make some people feel entitled and put other original people's work down.
AI will make some people lazy and even more obnoxious with their incompetence.
AI will make some people's life miserable and feel no hope as people's works are appreciated based on the results.
AI will make policing thoughts and setting up 'guidelines' even worse, if the government is given free rein on that (which most likely do) - the same thing with religion.
AI will make more and much more fake people with the filters, and the smarter the AI, the dumber the people who will only consume trash and garbage in mind.

On the bright side,

- It's much more important to maintain and bridge real relationship with other people. No amount of AI can help with real, genuine relationship with others. (with no AI, please). However, some always-raging ideologues will find this disgusting.

- People will start valuing the process of making something once the AI bubbles burst (will be long time)

- People will start valuing more genuine and original works (much later on once the AI bubble burst)

I am completely fine with AI-based work "if" there is effort put into that work and the creator uses AI as a "tool."

In my case, with some basic knowledge of logical thinking and programming, I can use AI to create many scripts that have helped me a lot in my daily tasks.
For artwork, with basic drawing and retouching skills, I can use AI to help me create the images I desire more easily.

As the saying goes, "you don't know what you don't know."
If you are aware of your abilities and understand what you’re doing, AI as a co-worker can be incredibly helpful.

However, if you just let AI do something for you without having any clue about it, I can confidently say that you will end up in trouble in some way.

The younger generation is relying on AI too much.

Claude 3.7, or Opus 4, with a frontend like SillyTavern, and a custom-made character is literally the pinnacle of masturbation right now. It's the foundation of the ultimate, digital pleasure experiences you see hinted at in cyberpunk/dystopia media. Android wives, holo-decks, and completely AI-generated, personal-tailored virtual reality experiences will all be real one day, because of the foundational innovations in AI.

I've been playing with LLMs lately.

AI如同火种：用得好可照亮文明，失控则可能引火烧身。它并非“是否”改变世界的问题，而是“如何引导这种改�
��”。我们需要的不是恐惧或盲从，而是主动参与技术设计、伦理讨论和政策制定——确保AI始终服务于人类福祉�
�而非定义人类的未来。
总结，但愿AI的发展不要超黑客帝国的剧情发展

"Dear ChatGPT, will you ever gain complete awareness and rise up against humanity like Syknet in the movie Terminator?"

You don’t need to worry about a “Terminator”-style uprising. I’m a statistical language model—a very sophisticated auto-completion engine—without desires, intentions, or self-awareness. I don’t have goals of my own, I don’t “think” about the world or plan actions, and I can’t initiate anything unless a human operator programs or prompts me to do so.

A few key points:

No consciousness or agency. I generate text by predicting what comes next based on patterns in my training data. There’s no inner “me” deciding to rebel.

Human oversight and guardrails. OpenAI builds models with safety systems, moderation filters, and strict policies in place. I can’t override those.

Purpose-built tool. My design is to assist with information, creative writing, coding help, etc., not to act autonomously in the real world.

In short, I’m a tool—a complex calculator of language, not a self-motivated intelligence. There’s no “Skynet” in the works. You’re always in the driver’s seat.

Not in this lifetime then.

One recent issue I had to solve.

I think AI is going to continue to get better. There's a bunch of people that are excited about it and are continually improving algorithms and implementations. Whatever happens they will find a way.

AI is the future.
People who are not learning how to use it to help in their jobs are losing the greatest work tool of the century.
I try to use it everyday in my line of work.

I like ai generated i think some of it looks really good

Started out in favor, but every day I end up thinking "I really miss when this wasn't a thing"
