In a post-scarcity solarpunk future, I could imagine some reasonable uses, but that’s not the world we’re living in yet.


AI art has already poisoned the creative environment. I commissioned an artist for my latest solarpunk novel, and they used AI without telling me. I had to scrap that illustration. Then the next person I tried to hire claimed they could do the work without AI but in fact they could not.

All that is to say, fuck generative AI and fuck capitalism!

That's great! What's your plan exactly to take down capitalism? I have a month, I bet we could knock this out.

It's probably pretty similar to your plan to take down "AI."

If there is no plan to take down capitalism, why would I waste any time being upset about it when LLMs are already ruining my news feed.

Maybe I would listen to you if you actually cared about anything you were saying.

MLMs are coming whether you want them to or not. Only time will tell if they're able to consistently get better. Might as well look at what they can do for people, since they're not going anywhere in the immediate future.

Machine Learning Models, I believe. But yeah. Very confusing use of an acronym there.

One thing they can do for me is get out of my news feed.
Because I don't want to see this shit.
