Oh hey, it’s Eliza Casan from the critically acclaimed dystopian prophecy Deus Ex: Human Revolution.

True I suppose, my bad. Fuck Musk and Zuckerberg though, fr.

Rude, no shit DARPA made the internet (ARPAnet). Calm down and take a joke man.

Really? Show me the government sponsored social media platform lmao.

I mean, this is definitely kind of the problem of our times. Billionaires and corporations have taken into charging forward into the “technological determinism” paradigm, where technological “progress” takes precedence and society should adapt to it, as opposed to innovating tech and progress BASED on society’s evolving demands, ala a sort of “technological voluntarism”. They’ve pushed this so much over the past few decades that I think most of society just accepts that it’s the status quo. Meanwhile, it’s this rampant, uncontrolled, unmonitored growth that’s leading to the planet’s rampant exploitation/ destruction, and humanity failing to keep up with the rate of technology. It’s not a sustainable model anymore.

Oh god… robot ironer burns a hole in the ironing board, and then the floor

Agreed, insofar as AI exist only as tools, then don’t deserve anymore “robot rights” than my garbage can. We can have that discussion when/ if we reach the singularity and/ or AGI.

It’s the cool new toy, give it a few months, people will get over it. Or at least, it’ll fade into the background.

This actually reassures me, I don’t want it to outright replace human creativity.

I also don’t want “infinite quest generation” for the most part. I like being able to actually finish a refined, tailor-made experience by one developer, and move onto another.

Well see, this is the thing: if it become even somewhat clear to the public at large that these things were going to inevitably happen, people wouldn’t just sit and take it. You lay off 20% of the work force, and people will riot. Disrupt the current order too quickly and there will be civil unrest, potentially hindering future progress.

Art is a unique topic when it comes to AI, for if you ask the AI what inspired it to create a specific pieces, it will not answer, for it cannot feel. There are myriad reasons and sources from which a person draws upon to create a work of art. While an AI can replicate their style, and create something unique in the vein of their original work, it can never replicate the passion and emotion that leads to a work’s creation. This, in my opinion, will always give human artwork more meaning.

Right, I don’t understand how people consider these outcomes good. Humanity will be rendered obsolete. Existence will be meaningless.

Bro, I’ve struggled with this mindset for years, I always say “I have time”, or “whoops, I’ll do it tomorrow”. How do I break out of this??
