What I find even more revolting is this “any form of accountability is an attack, and I am, therefore, always a victim!” mentality people constantly use to excuse their shitty shitty actions and to avoid even a single iota of self reflection and or self improvement paired with an almost distain for the act of consideration for anything or anyone else outside of their own selfish wants and needs

Lol, "berate" or "shame someone publicly" by recounting an interaction they had with an unnamed woman during their day... These people are so pathetic and thin-skinned that they have to imagine (unlikely) scenarios about why a person couldn't just write from the heart. Laziness, apathy, insecurity, whatever... But the end result is they chose to rely on a chatbot to pretend to be human and write words they don't understand to a human they will never meet to convey emotions they don't possess...

shaming someone for a loving gesture

That wasn't loving. That was literally off-loading their own thinking to an unfeeling machine. It did not come from the heart. It didn't even come from their brain.

My dad sent a very obviously ai generated message to my mom for her birthday. She loved it but then again she's always posting ai generated images and stories on facebook. It's depressing

We need to reclaim our right to be silly and inefficient.

I have a theory that WAY less people are truly conscious and aware of the world then we think.

Just going throoigh the motions. Feeling everything like a human not really a NPC, but just no understanding anything.Just millions quietly miming others in a great charade.

it couldn't have come sooner.

I mean, it could have. And very probably should have.

"I hope your baby turns into their own beautiful butterfly in time."

There. Its not even that good but at least it came from my head.

But this seems like just another wedge that will be used to drive people further apart. Men vs Women. Right vs Left. Rural vs Urban. And now, AI vs no AI.

Maybe people use their energy and creativity on something else

Like what? If personal messages on birthday cards aren’t it, where is that last little bit of energy going, huh? I doubt they’re going home to paint or sing or dance. If you don’t have the energy to write about a newborn child, you’re not being creative anywhere else, I guarantee it.

Remember, more than 50% of social media posts are AI.

AI sucks but I think it's unfair to assume everyone feels comfortable, capable or self assured enough to write something of their own.

That is such a stupid argument to make. It is not really so much what you write but the thought behind it. And the thought behind using AI is always signalling something negative. Not writing anything but your name would be more personal and heartfelt than that.

Newish dad here. (When's that stop being "new" anyway?)

This made me tear up. I dunno it's been a shitty day as it is and of course I knew people like this were already a thing but...sheesh, man.

The "I hope they will be braver than you" thing...shit. Right?

I can't imagine being so hollow. This is already everywhere now, isn't it? People clanker-cranking posters, birthday cards, speeches, eulogies, love letters... We took for granted when somebody's words, however imperfect, were their own.

These zombies did exactly what all those shitty commercials told them to do: Pay 3 grand for a stupid phone and outsource human relation, sincerity, expressions of love, to a (in this case Google's) friggin planet-cooking Markov Chain.

I hope this entire era becomes a cautionary bedtime story. I hope our kids tell us in disbelief "No WAY people were THAT dumb! You're making it up."

This post was heartbreaking.

fucking clanker apologists

I don't need to imagine, but I also don't use AI

Meanwhile the shop owner is thinking they can charge a few bucks to generate slop and print it for you...

I feels the same, at this point i'm like that, can't be angry at them, but feel sad about how fake the world has become.

I call it brave to call out despicable behavior and this is despicable. Some things should be sacred ffs.

That comment becomes funny being read under the assumption that Zoodle_123 is an AI bot.

What do you even say to those commenters? Like where do you even start?

That's why I call them no talent ass clowns.

Isn't she supposed to be a song writer? I'm just going to go ahead and assume that her future songs were written by AI and her previous songs were purchased.

Edit: I misread this post. I thought Phoebe Bridgers posted the AI poem. Oops! I'm glad I was wrong, as I kind of like Phoebe Bridgers.
