Printers are sending me AI generated artwork and having me fix it or redo it so they can print it. It seems I can still make a living fixing the slop.

AI technology has an array of tools that are now affecting almost everyone's life in some way whether they are aware of it or not.

They don't want to make your lives easier. They want you to go work harder.

So, they remove anything that is not work-related from our society and replace it with bland AI creations that don't make waves against the system or its overlords, but do praise and support it.

It is a damned shame that more people don't realize this.

It's bad that AI has taken over creative tasks but it's just as bad that it takes over even the more humble ones. Curiously, it's the latter that are the hardest to train AI on because these tasks require an interaction with the physical world, which is harder to learn. Chatbots are directed to seem as human as possible, which is a fraud because they are not human. So with chatbots, AI is nothing more than a costly and elaborate fraud. AI can be useful in medicine, science, etc. but instead it's promoters strive to make it seem more human, increasing the costs and dangers.
