I noticed almost everybody here agrees that all AI is bad, and anything produced by AI is slop. and refuse to use any software made in part or in whole with AI or help of AI? Please mention your background and usage of AI with your answer.

I also posted it here.

    They claim to automate the work so we have more time to focus on imporant things. Has this ever happened? We got computers, productivity went up, and we still work 40 hours and are poorer than previous generations. In a time of climate crises, they take our dwindling resources so people can create stupid images and videos. I want to see creativity being shared.

    Besides, everything AI learned is stolen from people who put the work in. I want people to visit my website, that I worked hard on. I don’t want some LLM telling you what it “learned” from my work. I know search engines purposely make their results crap so the only way to get information is to use an LLM nowadays and I admit I use LLMs for that reason. I can’t just google what I need anymore most of the time.

      Has this ever happened?

      Doing laundry used to be among the most time-consuming household tasks. Washing machine at the time probably offered women more liberty than the pill did.

      Most workplaces pay for your time anyway - not output.

          I have no idea what you’re trying to say. You pro washboard and bucket? Because no person who has actually ever used one is.

            They’re saying the productivity gains didn’t go to the workers. Every benefit you got at home was yet another excuse for C-suits to not pass profit gains onto the workers, because, “you’re life is getting easier anyways, you greedy slob!”.

              Man, it’s like my boomer parents.

              “We have all this technology now, maybe we can improve our lives a bit”

              “Oh, you’re saying we should go back to the dark ages!?”

              Can’t argue with these people.

        My feeling is im not sure much has increased quality of life since the 70’s. The only thing I can point to is maybe the microwave.

              Yea, just pointing out how tech hasn’t really advanced much for normies except for computers and better but not new tech … at least until capitalists all decided enshittification was the way to a golden future…

              And now these greedy fucks are trying to take away massive advancements from the past so they can put it into a subscription model…

              People do not hate MBAs nearly enough.

                yeah and I love computers but more and more I question if they have had much of a actual improvement on quality of life for the average person. Im not even sure if nock on effects matter that much. I mean it did allow us to map the human genome and do a lot on protein folding and drugs but im not sure we would not have been about the same level along even without them.
