Everyone hates AI until it creates this cute little guy

what are the rules and morally superior influencers

I like to imagine an instagram post that reads “PANCREATIC CANCER CURED DUE TO RESEARCH BY AI” and the comments are still “BOO!!!! UNFOLLOWED!!!! FUCK AI!!!!”

Please don’t kill yourself while reading this!

I personally use AI to make my friends fatter than they are, simple editing tasks that would take 15 minutes in photoshop, to create websites and help me research and organize things for clients.

A lot of the distrust and skepticism comes from what happened with social media.

In pre-algo social media the trojan horse was that you could easily connect with friends and family.

“wow! that sounds awesome… I love connecting with people in my life and sharing special moments with them!”

Now, after 13 years on Instagram, it feels more like I’m a plump digital cow being brutally milked for every single second of unstructured downtime.

The trojan horse with AI seems similar.

“Oh! Don’t worry guys. Let the machines do the boring stuff so you can spend time doing what you love! More Art! More connection!"

Thank you Sam Altman! That’s so nice of you! I’m sure you have humanity’s best interests in mind you little FREAK.

I get people being against it with zero exceptions because I’m scared of whatever the crystalized AI version of being a plump digital cow being harvested is. Kind of a fool me once shame on you, fool me twice and I’m going to have zero brain function and a chip in my head for the rest of my life. Type shit.

I am anything but an AI evangelist but watching the digital peanut gallery decide the ethics is entertaining and infuriating. Many of the virtue signaling anti-AI posters are giving 2020 black square (which is following consensus for personal image sake without truly caring about bettering the world)

I can’t figure out the comment sections on posts using AI. It feels like everyone HATES AI until it makes something funny, cute and harmless like these little guys.

Is this fine because it’s not taking anyone’s jobs and is cute? Can the VFX artist who makes the Coca-Cola polar bears use AI since it’s always looked like AI? Is Kanye’s 808s and heartbreak and I Gotta Feeling by the Black Eyed Peas AI slop because it used autotune? I truly don’t know.

Here’s where I feel like the AI morality spectrum currently lies:
