My boss will regularly send random, unrelated, unrequested AI videos into the general slack channel, and literally everybody else in the room loves them. It's fucking weird, it feels like being the only grown-up in a nursery sometimes 😂
This isn't harmless though, and I'd argue it's still really harmful. Imagine becoming convinced a loved one is trapped inside ChatGPT. We've already got plenty of reports of chatbot induced psychosis, and a few suicides.
Honestly, may as well be. I wish there was some way to have an internet that wasn't bots, or subject to advertising and marketing creeps, but that's just not gonna happen outside of like... I don't know. I don't even know where the infrastructure would begin for humans to separate themselves online and build an actual community. It would be tough. It's a shame, really. This could have been so good.
If it's not supposed to be a replacement for a human being then what the actual fuck is it supposed to be?
My boss did this same exact shit. 'oh, no no, we won't be relying on AI to develop our websites! No no, not at all! You just have to use it to write the code for you! It's not a replacement for a developer, it's just a tool!'
AI freaks are some of the weirdest, dumbest, most maliciously anti-human people on Earth.
Maybe the situation here is different, but in the video game industry when boycotts happen due to scummy business practices and then get instantly forgiven, those companies in question usually figure out a new way to implement those scummy practices that flies under the radar. Or they just do it again, at a better time.
I can't help but feel Disney will now work out a new way to appease the fascist regime, but without openly annoying supporters like this. Maybe those private "thoughtful conversations" they had with Kimmel contained some directives. Maybe we'll get a more neutered show now. Appeasing the regime is the problem really.
Celebrity culture sucks, but replacing them with celebrity AIs is much worse, much sadder, and much weirder. Also, despite celebrity culture sucking, a lot of celebrities are artists. I don't want artists to go away. I want the suits to go away.
I've searched ddg for Lotr Path of the Fellowship but can't find anything. I see Fate of the Fellowship which is a board game - is that what you were referring to? :o
So lame.
