The AI Bubble is About to Pop, But the Delusions Continue

I’ve already written on here, quite extensively about “AI”, and how harmful it is. But, sometimes you come across something so egregious, so disgusting, so malignant that you just have to record it. Record it so, a year from now, we can all look back on how hilariously bad this all was, and how people who refuse to learn how to do anything, are now forced to wallow in sadness as their theft-tools are decommissioned.

People like this. I can’t help but feel … seething hatred for this kind of flippant, sociopathic attitude toward artists, and creators, just because you feel entitled to the work they’ve done via algorithmic machines that rip them off.

Companies are quickly beginning to realize that “AI” is not profitable, and a large portion of people either don’t care about it, or don’t want to use it. And this is bad, considering the extreme power consumption and costs these things generate (Microsoft has dabbled in the idea of building nuclear reactors to power their theft algorithms). It turns out, if you just shove AI into everything, it won’t make people any more predisposed to using it. But it will make you and your company look like a bunch of frauds. See: Bluesky partners with Buffer.

It’s always been evident that there are groups of people out there who hate artists. A hate that’s bred out of envy. It’s also been extremely evident that a lot of people don’t, and have never wanted to pay for the entertainment that they enjoy. Be it books, movies, and especially music. Because, obviously, the people who make the things that fill out all of your free time don’t deserve to make a living, am I right? (/sarcasm)

And now you have these AI-tech-guys, who’ve never experienced an iota of creative inspiration in their entire lives, and a lot of which have probably never done any amount of serious work, either, loading up these machines filled with stolen media, and posting aggressively disgusting things on social sites, like, “Haha the artists are mad we stole from them! This is how it’s going to be, get used to it!”

It makes me wish “The Purge” was real, but instead of targeting people who can’t afford to protect themselves, it just targets people like the aforementioned, untalented losers, and then we remove them from civilized society. Permanently.

But, listen: I’m glad these people will never feel what it’s actually like to create something. I’m glad they’ll never experience the joy of practicing, spending years learning, and making something that people actually enjoy. If there’s any silver-lining to take away from this past year or so of horrendous techno-theft and crime, it’s that, at the end of the day, they will always be hollow, meaningless, scum, who never amount to anything notable, or genuine.
