it is important to be against all genai, not just whatever affects us personally. we are stronger together and need a unified front against all of it. ​​ ​​
@lumi I'll be honest, does feel like programming specifically was left out. The majority seems rather supportive of real artists, musicians, writers etc against the AI slop, but when it comes to programming they're kinda just "eh"
@reiddragon i feel like we can blame techbros for this behavior. white cishet male labor aristocrats.

privilege, is, as i've said before, one hell of a drug
@lumi ok but leaving all programmers to be thrown into the woodchipper just because of tech bros is no different from wanting to deport all immigrants because one time one immigrant did a bad thing.
@reiddragon ah i think i misunderstood what you were trying to say

i think, in case of programming, the creativity tends to be less visible. the humanity tends to be less visible. but it is still there, just as much as other fields

@lumi something something everyone thinks everything can be automated away by AI but except their own job/field because they have a deeper understanding of that and know how complex and nuanced it is

remember someone on yt in a reddit or tumblr or tweet compilation video or read short presenting some story of someone at an art school or company writing how writers or the writing teacher say that comic illustration can be done via AI because it is just images in a specific formula but a story is nuanced and needs consistency and can not be automated away by AI and then the comic artists/teacher going for the same argument but the other way around

@Eryel sounds like gell-mann amnesia x3

we should all band together in solidarity against this abusive tech
@lumi by "ai" you mean llms? GANs? Categorization algorithms? OCR? Yolo?
@nihilistic_capybara specifically the models that use a metric heckton of data that was obtained without consent and are then used to regurgitate approximations of human creativity
