Oct 2025

reducing creativity? How? Who would have done this other than me thinking about it first?
Reducing brain activity? How? I actually had to consider this deeply.
Plagiarising? How? I'm not using the music or the words. only as inspiration. like many other artists in many other sectors (sampling perhaps?)

Also, if today we eliminated AI completely, would that cool the aquifers, reduce the shit in the air?

Sorry mate, that ship (shit) has already sailed.

de rec (for posting nothing but AI slop) Celerity Oct 2025 #1

actually, its not slop. I played a core part in framing and editing of this. Layzeebeaver Oct 2025 #2

Non sequitur. I never it was an attempt at passing it off as human made. Celerity Oct 2025 #6

That sounds human supremacist! Polybius Oct 2025 #57

Your use of ChatGPT is unethical, if you're aware of the many news stories and the many posts here highplainsdem Oct 2025 #7

and if I did this on my own? Layzeebeaver Oct 2025 #9

Yes. Of course. It would be your own work. The difference is obvious. Just as there's an obvious highplainsdem Oct 2025 #11

So... a PHD dude in 1970 has 12 understudies... Layzeebeaver Oct 2025 #18

Please look up the meaning of "understudy" because you obviously don't know it. highplainsdem Oct 2025 #49

Yes. WhiskeyGrinder Oct 2025 #14

That is much too extreme a view. yardwork Oct 2025 #25

No, it isn't. If you're using AI without being forced to do so by your job or school, and you're aware highplainsdem Oct 2025 #43

Take a breath.............. Jack Valentino Oct 2025 #53

Jeez. I actually DON'T use AI to write or create anything. yardwork Oct 2025 #55

If you'd talked to the near-suicidal artists, writers and teachers (who see their students being dumbed down) highplainsdem Oct 2025 #56

How was Celerity disingenuous? obamanut2012 Oct 2025 #32

That was interesting. 2naSalit Oct 2025 #3

Write it yourself. Don't use an unethical tool trained on stolen intellectual property. highplainsdem Oct 2025 #8

And write it in longhand with a quill pen and homemade ink. yardwork Oct 2025 #27

Stop being so silly. No one suggested that. I love tech that actually helps, and I had an HP laser printer highplainsdem Oct 2025 #44

One of my concerns... 2naSalit Oct 2025 #35

You don't want it stealing YOUR stuff, but you're fine with it being trained on all the writing by other people highplainsdem Oct 2025 #45

Whoa there... 2naSalit Oct 2025 #50

I don't use AI, but I've been doing this for years (just for fun). Latest example: DFW Oct 2025 #4

pretty cool... Layzeebeaver Oct 2025 #5

That's GREAT! Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed reading and humming-along. QueerDuck Oct 2025 #10

AI is the machine gun in WW1 part 3 Layzeebeaver Oct 2025 #12

There's nothing creative about shooting a gun. Tommy Carcetti Oct 2025 #33

Exactly. And there's nothing creative about having genAI do something for you. highplainsdem Oct 2025 #47

The people who'll be hurt by AI tools that dumb them down are not the ones refusing to participate highplainsdem Oct 2025 #46

Boring and vague. Not a fan of the original, but at least the wordplay and references in it mean something. WhiskeyGrinder Oct 2025 #13

A fair opinion Layzeebeaver Oct 2025 #15

"wrecks the environment"????? Layzeebeaver Oct 2025 #16

Damage to the envirinment is just one of a number of harms from genAI and the data centers being highplainsdem Oct 2025 #17

This is a deep subject Layzeebeaver Oct 2025 #20

There's no way to use genAI built on theft ethically. That's like saying you'll use slave labor ethically. highplainsdem Oct 2025 #22

did you actually read what I wrote? Layzeebeaver Oct 2025 #23

Yes. Which is why you got that response. You wrote: highplainsdem Oct 2025 #41

Ethics is not a separate topic. It's inherent when this tech exists only because of stolen IP. The fact highplainsdem Oct 2025 #59

What exactly is "American Pie" anyhow? nt Disaffected Oct 2025 #38

No replies - maybe it doesn't mean anything? Disaffected Oct 2025 #62

"American Pie" was a silly jingle GenThePerservering Oct 2025 #40
