Lots of people still make bad music that other people still manage to enjoy (a lot of it has gone multi-platinum!) even though they're not Mozart or Bach.

- Forgeties79 5d agoThis would be valid if we didn’t live in under capitalism, which reduces the way we spend our time down to dollars and cents.
- int_19h 4d agoCorrect. So burn down capitalism, not AI?
- Forgeties79 4d agoOr be honest about what’s happening and interrogate both?
- int_19h 4d agoI did; the above is my conclusion. AI itself is a highly positive technological development in terms of how much human suffering it can alleviate.
- Forgeties79 4d agoAnd yet it has primarily been a negative so far with terrible stewards, so forgive me for not being so optimistic.
- int_19h 3d agoOf course it is, because our society is pretty much structured to place sociopaths on top. Why is it at all surprising that any technological advancement is going to be used by them in a way that doesn't benefit the rest of us? But it's equally obvious that this has nothing to do with the tech itself.
- Forgeties79 3d agoIf the tech enables certain behaviors then it can’t be casually divorced from a discussion of how people use it. “Tech” isn’t inherently neutral. It’s made by people with intent for a purpose and how else it can be used must also be considered. This is like separating “the use case” of killing people from guns and still trying to have a coherent discussion about them. You simply can’t handwave it away with “well that’s not the tool’s fault.” It’s unproductive and sidesteps the conversation.
