(guy who has one thing to talk about ever) i'm back at it to nobody's surprise. in person, i don't make any effort to hide my derision of ai. i guess part of it is me not wanting others to think i have to rely on it for the work that i do (but even that's sort of flawed now, since i really doubt they'd look down upon me given i know for a fact that lots of them use ai), but in general i feel like everyone i've informed in person of the costs of ai energy-wise had no clue about it. i doubt they'll stop using it, which is a whole other issue that bugs the hell out of me as well, but that's not the point. saying you hate ai to a bunch of ai users makes you look like the loser, and that's what's so frustrating. it's not that i'm intolerant or close minded or whatever else these people seem to think. it's that i've got an actual moral compass and work ethic that's either partially or fully missing in lots of these people. whenever i log on to other social media sites, i see a deluge of posts about em dashes being a chatgpt red flag. i start breaking out in hives reading this stuff. it sucks that they're not incorrect about it given chatgpt's scalping from actual writers who've used it. i'm needlessly self-conscious nowadays about using em dashes when i write. god forbid there's a day i face ai accusations. i think i'd lose my mind. back to the intolerance thing, i've probably mentioned this before in one of the other ai posts, but i see so many replies to anti-ai folks dragging in other tools as if to say that ai's simply one of those tools when it's really not. i have people i know who will listen and agree with what i say about ai while having chatgpt downloaded on their phones. i hate that sort of hypocrisy and people with the moral backbone of an invertebrate. i can't recall if this was something i mentioned as well, but college acceptances are also so annoying to me. ivy league tryhards will be out there formulating their own "ai apps" to help people study or track calories or whatever else there is out there. it's ridiculous. there won't be a place for your fancy ivy league degree when there's no food or livable conditions for anyone save the billionaires who get afforded protection through their bloodstained wealth. i keep getting kicks out of imagining the college students with majors like environmental science or conservation biology using chatgpt. i think that's a very apt scenario for the kind of morality you see in the world right now, which is to say that it's entirely performative
