ultimately, many writers on this platform do not understand media ethics. thatās because you fools grew up on the internet, capitalism fucking punk'd us, and older generations/our leaders never made the effort to tell us to get off or fully educate us about it.
ai is a process, not a tool. it is a process of outsourcing intellect in return for āefficiencyā, but what we donāt realize is that efficiency is simply a codeword for fascism. if we outsource our creativity, our education, our curiosity, we lose the power over our private selves and indebt ourselves to lives of poverty, sickness, and suffering if we continue to rely on these machines.
generative ai is extremely embarrassing to use, not on an intellectual level but on a humanitarian level too. youād figure, on the site where we proclaim to be such leftist, progressive individuals, youād think that people would hear of aiās harm against americans of color and the effects data centers have on the the environment and choose not to partake.
if youāre still feeling uneducated on matters of the web, here are some resources i recommend you engage with before blindly using the Internet again. dm for help on obtaining anything for free. these resources are not meant to provide you an absolute answer regarding ai, as there certainly is not, but will and can help you understand why it is important to protest generative ai and fight for policy to be implemented.
