Please please please read this piece on ‘AI’!

‘I am here to be rude, because this is a rude technology, and it deserves a rude response. […] the makers of AI […] want to create a new kind of mind, so they can force it into mindless servitude. […] The machine is disgusting and we should break it.’

‘I just see what’s happening to young people and the kind of content AI is creating. It’s taking out the humanity and we’re getting further from the truth. You wonder why people are anxious and depressed, and it’s because not everything that they’re seeing is meant to be digested. It’s junk food for the brain. It’s not real. It’s not attainable. It creates a great sense of isolation.’

Jenna Ortega in a Wednesday interview together with Tim Burton for The Hollywood Reporter. Read it all, it’s great:

I’m still not sure what’s worse.

That ‘AI’¹ needs unfathomable amounts of energy, single-handedly bringing back nuclear power, and perverse amounts of cooling liquid, draining the fresh water reserves of small towns²?

That ‘AI’ keeps being trained by data sources the creators of which never agreed on being used this way³?

That ‘AI’ needs to be stripped of terrible, toxic content by human beings living in the Global South who have to endure perversion, aggression, and any *ism you might imagine, and who are paid for this torture obscenely low wages⁴?

Or that ‘AI’ tends to make people stupider⁵ and learners lazier⁶?

In any case, avoid any form of ‘AI’ like the plague it is.

Dear artist friends and colleagues of all professions, wouldn’t you agree:

“The unlicensed use of creative works for training generative AI is a major, unjust threat to the livelihoods of the people behind those works, and must not be permitted.”

You can sign this statement now, as did The Cure’s Robert Smith, ABBA’s Björn Ulvaeus, Julianne Moore, Thom Yorke, Rosario Dawson, Billy Bragg, AURORA, and 13,500 others before you:

Those of you who follow me for a while will know that I am quite (quite!) critical of Artificial so-called Intelligence. Today, I stumbled upon a brief, but great article on what and how AI should actually be, by Janet Vertesi (@cyberlyra) called “A Better Way to A.I.”

I uttered random words,
and pushed a button
The image formed,
as if by the rolling of a die

Artificial
Algorithmic
Effortless
Soulless
Synthetic

Made by the machine,
like cheap plastic.

IA no es arte, programar no es arte, pero mira qué buen resultado
