part of why the AI market is pushing "everybody is using it, it's inevitable" narrative: I've seen with people in my life the more you lean on it (and a lil bit slippery slopes towards more) it will make you worse at what you're doing until your output is as mediocre as anyone only using AI to do it

Customers are rejecting gen AI art,
music, articles, games, scripts, etc
if they still can find enough human-
made alternatives. AI industry benefits
if skilled people lose their advantage and
stop providing alternatives. If you have
experience doing a skill it will dull your
ability until your work might as well
be done by an untrained 20 year old
asking AI. Like how the auto industry
fights bike lanes, public transit, sidewalks.

The specific focus in this video on the way these tools get under your skin and train you to depend on them is an aspect I personally find existentially terrifying. youtu.be/TtvICev9sBE?...

#WIPSnips - Demon King Daughter - Context: Part of Kiseki's introduction. Kiseki is a cursed. Masuyo can SEE curses, but has no ability to affect them. The 'carrier' is that little front-holder style like a reverse backpack. Masuyo has NO IDEA baby-Kyoka can do magic yet. Buy: pjccahill.carrd.co

"Thank you so much, Kiseki. It's fine. Here," Masuyo began simply, and moved closer, lightly hugging her arms around Kyoka in the carrier.
Kiseki nearly yelped, easing back a step. "N-no, please! I make babies very upset. I don't want to scare her!"
Masuyo did pause, but kept her smile. "Babies cry, Kiseki. It's okay. You wanted to see her, didn't you?"
Kiseki was caught, and Masuyo could see the darkness writhing tighter down her shoulders and spine. Her fear was feeding it, and the wretched thing was probably giving her terrible thoughts of awful outcomes.
Even so, the horror was an old friend of Kiseki's at this point in her life. A little glimmer of warmth gave her that spark of hope. Her trembling hand reached out. "C-could I just pet her hair? It looks so smooth and soft."
Masuyo nodded, and came close enough for the reach to be comfortable, angling her body so Kyoka could see Kiseki easily as well. She was deeply relieved that Kyoka, indeed, had no great fear of the darkness around Kiseki. Instead, she focused straight into Kiseki's eyes with that almost alien patience and intent.
Kiseki was paused by the gentle stare, but not out of shyness. It was the first time a baby hadn't burst into tears at the sight of her. Her eyes watered, and she tenderly brushed her fingers over Kyoka's hair.
"Oh," Kiseki gasped softly, tears dripping down her cheeks. "She's so soft and warm... Your daughter is beautiful, Masuyo."
Masuyo glowed happily. "She really is. Thank you, Kiseki."
