Have managed to stay stuck as Low Tech throughout the lifetime adjustments. Low Tech is a force of nature.
But to the topic: What little I've (can't use "grok" b/c MUSKrat and Dear Leader have ruined the language), picked up that the Creative contingent resent their originality being usurped by mindless automation. Yet, everywhere I turn in my Low Tech world (Google, Microsoft), am besieged to use their AI features. I've resisted as much as I can, don't do those, but have felled prey to YouTube videos using it a couple of times - AND have been throroughly lambasted by (I call: ) "AI Sleuths". Only posted a couple of those - AND it was from inadvertancy, and *not* from nefarious desire to mislead, AND with the content being *factual*. Yet the AI Sleuths lashed me to pieces.
*** Clue: I am a surface, Generalist, skimming type - *not* a Deep, pretentious, pedantic type who scours the university Stacks before posting. However, I possess and exercise Critical Thinking skills, have 2 useless degrees in Liberal Arts and, while posting *opinions* (like everybody) I don't post with an intention to deceive - yes, often without deep facts but not intent to deceive. Yet the Credentialed Specialists (are they? ) are immediate to seize on any detail to attempt to wreck an entire thread, the spirit of the content, the poster - to what end, to prove their supposed expertise?
So the current battlefield is to discredit on the basis of "AI"! --------------- "OMZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's AI!!!!!!"
*** I'll just say, an AI that has true content, with artistic illustration like a cartoon illustrating is not attempting to deceive. I grew up with negative connotations about Disney, but it was a *cartoon* - was it supposed to be taken as "real"? Was Bugs Bunny in Fantasia supposed to be mistaken for STOKOWSKI?
Since I don't do research before posting, the couple of times I've been gigged for AI, I've self-Deleted or tried to explain my inadvertance. But the AI craze reactions have gotten out of hand - one time that I posted something from (I forget) AP, NPR, Reuters, somebody posted, "Is this AI?"
Is this wrong? :
