we have huge cultural issues with AI. AI can be useful but lets face it, its stealing content to make your prompt happen. it is wrong and im mostly talking the creative skills. Its neat what it can do, but its stealing art to make your prompt happen. I did a ai art thing to draw me something funny. I took that picture did a backwards search on the search engines and found similar art...

We have people claiming they are now artists, designers, etc...but really they just write prompts and get the output and try to sell it as theirs and boldy show up to art festivals, comic conventions, and pan it off like they created it. ridiculous.

The book space, authors....its bad and it sucks.

vibe coders...yeah its neat it can do what its doing, but there is a point when you just dont know what you are doing and trying to make a saas from it, you probably shouldn't.

i dont know im just sick of ai, ai being pushed on us, and ai users claiming they are x because of ai.

I do like ai as a helper in programming though, highlight some code and ask it is there better ways to optimize this or make it better. It also helps me do some of the redundant boiler plate code. But other then that...the abuse is wild and we have no laws in place to save our artists, creative folk.
