look I've seen a lot of people reblogging my anti-AI post (NOT COMPLAINING ABOUT THAT PART!!) who seem to be under the impression that the biggest problem with genai is that...people are being lazy?
hot take but first of all why is that your concern and second of all, I don't think laziness exists - the concept of laziness is largely a capitalist, ableist, and very christian idea; in my experience, people who are "lazy" almost always have a genuinely good excuse to not be doing the thing you want them to do when you look a little deeper/ask them like
not wanting to do it because it takes time is reasonable! time is limited and valuable, especially in the capitalist hellscape we live in
not wanting to expend mental effort on it is also reasonable! as is not wanting to expend the physical effort, spoons, energy, etc, etc, etc
additionally - being "lazy" isn't a fucking crime or sin??? and it's not your job to decide whether someone is putting in enough effort! we are not meant to grind and work and put in 110% in everything we do in fact it's extremely unhealthy to do so
the biggest problem with LLMs isn't that the people don't want to do the work (although, I will admit, it can become a problem when they decide they don't want to learn and would rather use it to breeze through becoming a medical professional or the like - the problem here isn't that they're lazy tho it's that they're risking people's lives callously) the problem with LLMs is that they steal real humans' hard work and destroy the ecosystem, taking all the water while entire cities go through massive dangerous droughts
tl;dr stop calling people lazy, start calling them assholes destroying the planet for stolen content
