The ai commercials are actually so frustrating for my family. My brother is 16 and disabled and so he really doesn’t understand the idea that some ads can be fake. I’ve explained to him many times what to look for to see if it’s fake but he just doesn’t have that discerning eye. This wouldn’t be such a big issue but he gets it in his head that these movies exist and we can spend hours sometimes going through the loop of “this movie doesn’t exist” “go online and check at closest theater” “ok see? Look, this movie isn’t here” “ok now check at THIS theater.” And even by the end of that whole rigmarole when we’ve all finally given up, he’s still convinced we’re just not looking in the right place.

Drew made such a good point in saying, "why does AI want us to lie to each other?" Every one of the Apple AI ads are about lying about reading people's messages, or lying about doing work, or lying about remembering something. If you see the AI ads targeted towards students, it's all "use this to write your essay!" or "use this to summarize the reading so that you don't have to do it!" It's really insidious to flagrantly promote a product so heavily based in dishonesty. Edit: I also remembered Drew’s video about AI images. It’s also another ploy at dishonesty when genuinely big companies are screwing over artists by promoting AI pictures as “real stock footage” or when documentaries use AI images like history revisionists.

the pervasive "school doesnt teach you anything useful" attitude pisses me off, and its at least one reason students are so willing to use generative tools to complete thier work for them. They dont see the value in developing critical analysis, problem solving and literary fluency (at least partially beacuse thats never how these assignments are presented to them) and just think "when am i going to have to analyse 'to kill a mockingbird' in real life?".

Students who need specific instructions, who need to be limited in order to produce basline *anything* (wether that be from disability or apathy) need structure. Students like you would thrive in creativity, but can Work in structure. What it does is absoloutly kill your drive in exchange for a chance at inspiring another, but thats the compramise my system chose.

[@3bugsinatrenchcoat]

​@@xyrissavage4983 i think there's a lot of nuance to it. on the one hand, education can always improve and there are a LOT of pitfalls in public education currently. but at the same time, like you said, education is necessary, and certain things can be helpful as a model even if it isn't immediately obvious how applicable they would be to "real life." because another huge reason i can think of that students use generative ai is because they have too heavy of a workload with too little time, which is a notable flaw in the education system. as someone whose disabilities made me flunk out of high school twice, no matter what documentation or IEP/504/whatever you have, public schools can't slow their curriculum for a single kid. the other major reason i can think of is not understanding the material, which is again a gault of the system, because public school teachers don't have the time to individually help everyone struggling. while i never used ai, this was a key reason that i cheated fairly often in my later years of school. i imagine if i hated ai less, i would probably generate essays, because i never in my life had a teacher accommodate me properly (i couldn't do most personal narrative based assignments because i have amnesia). so i don't think everyone doing it is doing it only because they don't see the value in the work itself.

[@queenemmers]

I took a course called 'Nature of Creativity' back in the spring of 2023, and we discussed the ethics and creativity of AI art. When the professor asked us if we thought a piece of visual AI art should be in a renowned museum, only 2 of the 20 students in the class said yes. The rest of us emphasized how art has value because of the work and story of the person/people making it. It's weird to see what AI became just months later. That course was integral in forming my belief that creating and interacting with art is one of the most important aspects of human experiences. For as long as humans have lived, we have sought to find meaning through sounds, body movements, and visual works. It's terrifying to see people justify the existence and use of AI art because what do we gain from a work that a computer created? I feel nothing when seeing an "aesthetically beautiful" piece of AI art. What value does it have? People can hate on modern art all they want, but a banana duct taped to a wall evokes more emotion within me than any AI generated slop ever could.

I think the most nefarious thing that I hate most on KZbin is the AI generated live stream spams in the KZbin shorts feature.

And while every once in a while, I come across an innocent livestream where somebody is actually doing something, most livestreams I've come across are AI generated spam content with 0 point. Now, you'd think that that wouldn't be a big deal. But here's the thing: if you scroll past one of these live streams, that livestream gets put into your KZbin history. Not the one second you watched. THE WHOLE 10+ HOURS. And so KZbin sees that 10+ hour Livestream in your history and is like "wow, you really like AI generated spam content. You want some more?" And you can't even use the "don't recommend channel" button like you can with regular shorts, because they don't give you that option on livestreams in shorts. Because of this, I've made it a habit to report any AI generated spam streams I've come across and then use the "not interested" button that they actually give the viewers. They need to go down and I encourage other people to report these AI spam streams.

I study at a university with just design, architecture and engineering and I can attest to the unimaginable amount of people WHOSE JOB IT IS to be creative that simply decide to use Ai.

[@DaisyTheSadboi]

It's honestly kind of sad that there's marketers out there that look at AI and say "How can we use this to remove as much agency from people as possible?" and then frame it like it's some time saving tool to help you. The more we divorce ourselves from our labor the less accomplished we feel, and that's what these AI apps do. I remember reading a comment that said "It doesn't matter if ChatGPT can write an essay for you, that's not what it's about. It's about writing the essay" and that really stuck with me because it reminds me that just because something *can* be automated doesn't always mean it should.

I really loved the episode from EWU that turned that on it's head. They analyzed it like they would any other episode of the criminal being analyzed, then they tell you that the person being interrogated was completely innocent the entire time and had actually been another victim of the actual criminal and his unusual reactions was because he had been shot in the head.

[@BubonicBee]

@@SeanStrifenot to mention, its all relying on people behaving “normal” or predictable act in a situation that is inherently abnormal. There is no correct or normal way to behave after someone you know is murdered, everyone reacts differently to traumatic situations. Body language is something that is borderline impossible to study, but ESPECIALLY in situations like the ones JCS talks about, and using it in place of actual investigation is basically malpractice

[@coolaidtanner]

To be fair, JCS mentions that body language analysis isn't a sure science. Only that it could potentially be seen in a certain way by the police. They more focus on interrogation tactics used by detectives. It's funny the above comment mentions EWU because they LEAN into body language as if it's fact - they're who Drew is talking about when he says "copycat channels milking the genre".

The thing is, there are massive communities of people who made videos like these long before AI. Like, mid-2000s at least. Things like that massive Smash Bros. fan fiction, or the Pooh's Adventures wiki, where they just make massive lists of characters they'd like to see in one piece of media. Granted, those are very niche subcultures, but it makes sense that it would scale with celebrities in Star Wars or America's Got Talent

It's actually so terrifying how much AI is being forced into every aspect of our lives. I never realized how little control I had over my social media accounts untill AI was added without any care for what the users of the website felt about it. There's no way to turn it off either. The thing that's so insidious about it is that it's all to reduce social connection. Like AI friends, girlfriends, therapists. It's appealing to our human needs for connection. It's viewed as a market opportunity instead of human nature. I hate that we've used AI to take the beauty and creativity out of the human experience because it is seen as the ultimate form of demand to exploit. I swear we could ALL be living so comfortablebly and freely if we used AI for construction, food production etc. WHY IS AI TAKING THE FUN PARTS AWAY FROM LIFE???

[@Chardan001]

You hit the nail on the head. People will not improve because they will not try. This has already been happening in terms of say using Google or following instructions which people seem to be finding more and more difficult, and now we will have people not even learning how to write something out.

[@lzrshark617]

Exactly. I do creative writing as a hobby and hope to become a published author someday, whether that's via traditional means or via online publishing, and I've spent literal years honing my skills and learning techniques. There was a day at work where the conversation turned to hobbies and I mentioned that I write, and one of my coworkers asked if I used AI to help me, and I had to take a second to come up with the most polite response that I could, because I was honestly a little insulted that that was his first thought. I would rather burn 18 hrs of my life writing an essay doomed to fail and fail on my own merits than succeed with an essay that wasn't even mine. This is my passion. This is what I love. Why the hell would I use something that not only steals from the hard work of others, but also removes me from the process? And it's not even you could take the argument of AI stealing stuff 'well', bc it doesn't. Every AI story I've ever seen is about as coherent as a dictionary sent through a wood chipper. It has the bricks, but no clue how to actually build anything of substance with them, and it lacks all the soul

[@captain_quake1269]

@ I am also a creative writer omg!! I feel less passion about emails obviously, but still feel strongly that I should write them. When it comes to my creative writing though??

I think the fundamental disconnect between silicon valley guys and regular people is that often when you take a look into THEIR view on their lives in interviews they'll say "I wish I didn't have to talk to people or my family, I wish I didn't have to eat just take one flavorless pill a day, I wish I didn't need to sit down or sleep. I hate vacation. wish I didn't have to interact with designers. I wish I could just work 24/7 uninterrupted and watch line go up for 70-80 years until I die in my office chair." And they have so many people like that around them they assume that's what the average person wants at all. And even when people tell them that, they have to tell themselves those people are lazy and wrong. That everyone wants to live like they do. Because the other option is to realize how empty their own lives are and and that they'll never be happy and that's simply unacceptable.

This may be a weird tangent, but it reminds me of Hatsune Miku, the (non-AI) robotic singer Vocaloid software, and that time she was used as a character for a minor role in an anime. Except that instead of using the software to generate the voice for the role, they hired the person who provided her voice for the library and had her imitate the speech pattern of something made by the software. And you can find comparisons made to how the line sounds when actually recreated in the software, and she did an extremely good job. It's difficult to tell the difference.

honestly this AI craze has felt like crypto/nfts but 10 times worse. bc at least with crypto, if you didn't like it, it was pretty easy to just not interact with it. but with ai, all 4 tech companies are hellbent on shoving it into every millimeter of our lives, and analyzing every microscopic amount of information humans have ever generated to feed the algorithm. and yet all it has ever managed to spit out in return is a slightly longer version of the autocomplete feature on your phone's keyboard. the worst part is that running these algorithms is requiring so much energy that a tech company (I forget which one) is genuinely looking into bringing a decommissioned power plant back online. all to power a change that literally no one asked for and is actively worsening the world around us. tech bros keep saying that it's "the future" but honestly, at risk of sounding like a boomer, I miss the good old days where even if something on the internet was the most mind-numbing, pointless thing you could possibly come up with, at least a real human took time out of their day to make it. and now we can't even be bothered to do that.
