A Boring Dystopia

I don't care that the draw-anything network was trained by throwing all available JPEGs at it. How else was it going to happen?

I don't care that the English literature engine read all the books in the library. Of course it did. How did you study English literature?

Github's "copilot" was alarming to me, not because it's code and code is my thing, but because it tried acting like a bespoke and novel output with no possible complications. Like if Bing's image thingy let you write "Shrek on a tricycle" and then pretend you owned Shrek. Or simply that DreamWorks Pictures couldn't possibly object to you slapping that on a t-shirt for twenty bucks.

Gig economy bullshit is exploitative and can be stopped.

Rental in general is a target of leftists worldwide, and even mere liberals want it licensed.

"Cash you can e-mail" was a genuinely great idea until money addicts turned it into wiggly-line gambling.

But generative AI, even in this primitive state, is going to be a tool for all sorts of cool shit that would otherwise be infeasible bordering impossible. I do not give one solitary fuck that it looked at every page on the internet. We tried all the clever alternatives and it turns out they don't work. Now there's some four-gigabyte Python script that can turn any childish scribble into a photorealistic image... and I'm supposed to get mad at how it was made?

Pass.
