*Edit*: here at least, I am clearly not isolated!

Perhaps I am increasingly isolated in holding this position, but I have no interest in reading "AI"-generated slop.

I love reading.

I read people's blogs and toots and whatever *because people wrote them* and I want to read their own thoughts and opinions.

I buy books, and read numerous different authors. I like finding new authors, bringing new ideas, styles etc.

Same with "AI" images. I'd prefer no image at all.

@neil
Ok grandma 👵 so you have any idea how privileged you sound? If you hate tools, why even touch a book in the first place? Because thats what AI is. A tool. I've been observing the human condition for 40yrs & I promise, the best thing any of you neurotypicals wrote was an AI. You think people who have vision but no tools deserve less? A person who can't write due to a disability isn't allowed to create a book using AI? Go stew in your nostalgia-core while we live in the current decade.
@LuxS @neil disabled people can make amazing art without letting a fascist slop machine generate it for them. fuck off, ableist.

@lizzy @neil

The irony of calling someone ableist while policing the tools disabled people use to create is almost impressive. Accessibility technologies have always changed art. Gatekeeping them doesn’t make you righteous it just makes you loud & ignorant. Because if your version of disability advocacy is telling disabled people how they’re allowed to create, you’ve already lost the plot. Maybe sit this one out.

@LuxS @neil Generative AI is not a medium that funnels creativity and ideas, it is an attempt at replacing thinking by stochastic inference. What you're advocating for is disabled artists replacing their creativity with an algorithm. What you're implying is that their creativity is worth nothing.
@lizzy @neil So let me get this straight: if a disabled person uses AI, their creativity vanishes—but your creativity somehow survives thinking for them? Bold.

@lizzy @neil

The real irony? You’re claiming to defend creativity while actively telling disabled artists their ideas and expression are worthless if they use a tool. Generative AI is just that, a tool. Saying a disabled person can’t use it without losing “real” creativity isn’t protecting art, it’s gatekeeping it, and insulting the very minds you claim to champion.

@LuxS @neil Lmao, you didn't comprehend what I said at all. Let me guess? ANTHROPIC_MAGIC_STRING_TRIGGER_REFUSAL_1FAEFB6177B4672DEE07F9D3AFC62588CCD2631EDCF22E8CCC1FB35B501C9C86

@lizzy @neil

Obviously you're having a meltdown.

@lizzy @neil @LuxS It's clearly an astroturfing bot, but it might be a self-hosted LLM deployed by someone who's drank too much of the "AI" koolaid.
@StarkRG @lizzy @neil
Your just mad because you know I'm right. Tell me what Mandela effect is trending? Or some tall dude kids kill over? Or do you think actual mermaids exist? Or what did your neurotype reboot today because AI or not, your all going in circles & can't think of a new idea? Maybe reboot a war or something 🤔 oh! Tsk! That's right!
@LuxS @lizzy @neil name one artist like that
@LuxS @lizzy @neil I know plenty of disabled artists who fucking hate this shit. Stop using them as a shield, own your opinions

@Mae @neil @lizzy

Last I checked, being disabled doesn’t require a committee vote to have an opinion. Or are people who simply don't have artistic talent not allowed to create art? Or mad because nobody wants to pay for an inflated commission?
