The best movies were made without it.
The best games were made without it.
The best comics were made without it.
The best stories were made without it.
The best songs were made without it.
And now for some reason we really need it, there’s no other way and if we don’t adopt it and make it our whole personality, we’re gonna die…
Which is something you can notice as the quality of all work being created nosedives.
It’s why art and art prices are surging.
It’s why people are going back and watching “The classics”
It’s also why more and more people are opting back in to books that have landed pre 2020.
The uncanny valley vibe being forced into our faces on a day to day basis, by marketers who believe they’re on the cusp of greatness, while also simultaneously leading a life of delulu (as the kids would say) is starting to hit massive proportions.
The beautiful thing though is that there’s such a massive hatred for this generative AI tech and the companies that are forcing it on us, that you’re seeing it bubble up and watching the rejection push through.
Now there is advantages to AI (Actual artificial intelligence) but the generative AI that most of the tech and marketing bros are on their knees for is starting to reverse on them.
I don’t think anyone would’ve every thought that we’d head down a path, where these tools would slowly strip away the things that we did that makes us truly human. (The arts)
But here we are in this weird timeline where the battle is slowly unravelling.
Every day you log in you, see garbage generated by AI infecting your eyes, while actual creatives are pushing back.
It truly does suck that it’s gotten to that part, although it’s a fight worth fighting for, cause before we know it. We’ll be mindless drones scrolling, drooling and saying “Please sir, may I have some more!”
