“If you don’t use AI you’re going to get left behind.”

@overholt This is the same dynamic as the rapture. Don’t threaten me with a good time

@overholt One day maybe they'll actually leave me here!

@overholt

This is a super persuasive position

@overholt There are people who call themselves "Production Prompt Engineers" trying to weasel their way into the music production pro community.

These losers don't know how to produce an artist, write a song, anything about music theory; they know ZERO about electronics or how equipment works...in fact, they basically only own consumer headphones and a laptop, pretty much, and call themselves music production professionals.

I hate all of these people.

@overholt If it's here to stay, there's no need to rush. The only things you need to rush for are temporary fads.

@overholt Good riddance! I'ma take a nap.

@overholt Please don't elaborate on the sucks bit . We truly understand .

@overholt

Unfortunately these *censored* *censored* *censored* won't leave me alone. Just want to scream "Just leave me behind already. Go with God, but go! Look, the carpenter made a hole in the wall over there, get out and take your lying chatbot with you!" every time this comes up.

@overholt I've always been prone to resisting mainstream culture and over time it's become more and more satisfying. Now it's like "yeah, you go and grow dependant on an LLM guessing what you want to hear and generating soulless pictures for you while you're inadvertently contributing to the decline of our planet's health, go be a victim of our species' hubris and idiocy while burying your own agency"

@overholt What I wonder is when they switch from that to their true message: “Resistance is futile. Your life as it has been is over. From this time forward, you will service us.”

@overholt That statement is true and what I don't like is that largely the ppl that would teach AI about democracy and equality and moral values that promote democracy and equality have taken themselves out of the AI equation and we are being left with a more fascist, totolitarian, and dystopian AI. Tech, like elections needs people willing to deal solutions and democractic values into tech instead of ppl that want to just throw the baby out with the bath water and fearmonger about the future.

@overholt I love how they keep saying that and refusing to actually leave me behind and alone.

@overholt evangelicals keep telling me this about the Rapture and my response is the same. Hurry up then, so we the left behind can start cleaning up the mess you left.

@Scrimshaw9 @overholt You can't 'teach' the AI about democracy. It's not the 'AI' that needs to learn about that. It's the guys running the systems. And the only reason they're getting money is the promise of destroying democracy. Take that away, it all collapses.

@overholt My brother offered to jailbreak my Gemini so I could join him in forcing it to give us medical advice for my mother, who is probably dying, and whose medical records we don't have access to. No thanks! I don't even have a Gemini.

@overholt

@silverwizard @overholt Oh no, I'll miss all the fun of jumping off the cliff!

@overholt Well, the Amish sure don't seem to be shying away from #permaculture.

@overholt Sad news is they then turn around, grab you by force and make you come along.

My use of AI is higher than I want. Because some companies (especially the ones I am required to use for work) won’t stop throwing it at me. „Look what we did for you“, „isn’t this useful?“, „hey we ran your data through this and can help you make it better“

@overholt@glammr.us@glammr.us Yes, I do see your destination, so do leave me behind, then forever leave me the fuck alone.
