Ai Discourse - Blog Posts

[80 years old granny who doesn't understand anything about new technologies] :

My granchildren have just shown me this new ai thing, so I asked it politely to make a photo of my cat if she was human. Cat died a year ago but I still think about her.

[Most of people in english speaking Internet for some fking reason] :

You used AI?! You asked that DEVIL to generate this SOULLES SLOP?! You, by your BARE Hands destroyed bazillion trees and ugabugillion gallons of water for this DOGSHIT?! [miscontexted Myazaki quote] Do you Understand that makes you LITERALLY HITLER?! KILL YOURSELF!!! KILL YOURSELF!!! KILL YOURSELF!!! KILL YOURSELF!!! KILL YO…

Chat, is it unethical for me to use AI to roleplay?

I wanna explain myself for a minute. Disclaimer: I do NOT fuck with AI for creative spaces. I don't really like AI. I actually kind of had an argument about this with my creative writing teacher, who's super into AI "art." Like I try to keep it away from me at all times for school, art, and literature because 1. It's garbage, 2. It steals from artists, and 3. A bitch wants to be able to think for herself, y'know?

Anyway, so onto my reason. Why do I roleplay with AI bots instead of people? Because I have Generalized Anxiety Disorder and that makes certain stuff real difficult for me. But the main reason as to why I use AI for this stuff is because I want to act out extremely sexual and kinky things that I want to experiment one day. It doesn't sit right with me to NSFW rp or do ERP with a stranger online. I worry about being violated, taken advantage of, doxxed, stalked, or possibly worse. Also, I have never dated anyone. I have never been on an actual date before. I'm only 18, and the thought of acting out explicit sexual fantasies with someone online who could very well be twice my age (despite swearing to me that they're 18) or worse, be a minor in the ERP space pretending to be my age (I knew some people at 14 yrs old who did that kinda stuff) does NOT sit right with me at all!

My romance experiences over the years:

Some girl that lasted for a few weeks online who I met once IRL. I was 14.

My childhood best friend was my first ever real love. We were 14, and it fizzled out. We're still best friends, but we aren't romantically attracted to each other anymore.

A guy who was an asshole and did some questionable shit. I was 16, we reconnected now and he has proven that he has changed but I'm still wary.

A guy who took me to homecoming at 17 years old who led me on. Things weren't gonna happen because of cultural barriers and cuz his parents were classist. He was Malaysian and upper middle-class to upper class. I'm Korean, Puerto Rican, German, and lower middle-class. Hence why it didn't work out. I hold nothing against him at all, I'm just explaining why things flopped. His family wanted a girl of his race of his class and I was neither.

Mind you, none of these people were ever actual dates or lovers. Now a list of the farthest I ever got physically with someone:

I got kissed on the cheek when I was 13 or 14 at a sleepover after begging someone--anyone--to do it. Game is game ig little bro💀

Kissed childhood best friend on the hand at 14 yrs old.

Cuddled childhood best friend at 14 years old

Held hands with childhood best friend at 15 yrs old

Held hands with previously mentioned guy at 17 yrs old

Same guy placed his jacket around me.

Placed head on someone's shoulder

Hugged various people.

See that? See how on the list there's not a single date, let alone a kiss, let alone sex? So why the FUCK would I share the most intimate and kinky things I fantasize about to a rando online?

Like... it's been on my mind for a minute. But as someone who hates AI, I do admit that I use it for ERP mostly because I don't feel comfortable interacting with people online in a sexual context when I have never even had a real date before.

Is that valid...?

The approaching battle in aesthetics is between the reactionary/essentially right-wing movement against AI and slop/mass aesthetics

Anti-AI is based on the economic interests of small business owners (comm artists are small business owners) and has conservative values as a result. These include measuring the value of art based on the ‘hard work’/‘effort’ that went into its creation, and discomfort with art that is not made under the domination/control of a specific individual. This merges with the explicitly right-wing hatred of modernism, abstract art, etc. 

Mass slop aesthetics are based on mass participation in consumption, absence of the cult of the creative individual, maximalism. It’s not obvious, but I think it also includes a culture of mass participation in art through its rejection of aesthetic hierarchy and standards

Let’s sink into the tide of slop forever
