...can be fun to make, kinda like playing a video game, but it's personal fun.
Nobody wants to look at your AI art or listen to your AI music
The main reason there is so much of it being made is to defraud publishers and platforms.
Of course, it's possible for real artists to use AI tools to help, but simply prompting an AI with a few lines is not art.
...is the proper use of the technology.
Focusing strictly on "productivity' and churning out crappy software faster is not.
We need AI that helps us create better software: bug-free, efficient, secure, maintainable, well documented, with all edge cases handled.
...we are losing access to the best technology in the world while demonizing experts.
There was once a time when the best and brightest came here to invent and create, now we arrest them.
Welcome to the moronosphere.
...couldn't get any worse, they figure out the worst possible option
I guess it makes sense
Chinese engineers and scientists are smart and numerous, and really good at finding workarounds
Attempting to prevent China from acquiring tech is futile and counterproductive
We should abandon the old cold war attitudes and move toward cooperation
...is a misuse of the tech
We already have authors who do it perfectly and writing is fun.
The only reason that people want AI writing is to defraud publishing platforms.
If you use AI to write for fun, fine, but it's personal fun, like playing a video game.
Nobody wants to read or pay for your slop.
...increasingly unpredictable
But there seems to be money to be made by predicting doom
Evidently some people enjoy thinking about doom
AI cats
I see lots of ads for cat toys that feature impossibly playful cats appearing to have a great time with the toys
My cat would ignore them all

CDs are digital, WTF does digitize mean here?
...the proper replacement is fiber
Not wireless, fiber
Years ago, I did a PBX installation for a company and talked to the ATT technician
He said that the company had decided to let the copper network rot
All major repairs were cancelled and the only repairs allowed were sloppy, "bandaid" repairs
In my semi-rural area, PGE is replacing power poles. The old ATT poles remain with their tops cut off
Most of the old ATT poles are leaning and rotting. Some of the phone cables are tied to trees
Even with no change in the law, the system gets worse every day. The degradation is visible and obvious
It seems to be in our nature
People with ADHD use social media more
FTFY
We should abandon the old cold war thinking and move toward cooperation with China.
