im Big-Time Megaspel

she/her. lead writer on Big Mouth (American TV series) 🔞 probably

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?...

a lot of talk about people getting more insane but nobody willing to link it to the day in middle school when we were led into a cave to glimpse our future self and decide whether or not we believed in determinism. sometimes I think I’m still back there. what “choice” did I make?

I see a lot of you talking about "dopamine" and I wish you'd go back to talking about your astrological signs because at least then you wouldn't be confusing yourself about a real thing

It is funny that as more people get duped by AI, the response more frequently seems to be to insist that the models are developing godlike intelligence and we all need to be sooo careful when the real lesson is clearly that the human psyche can get absolutely one-shotted by personalized flattery

reminder to yall! the iOS app sucks ass and part of your money straight up just doesn’t even go to me for like 2 and a half months minimum, not counting whatever cut apple takes anyway for itself. use even a mobile browser, just not the app

Any of you using the ios version of Patreon to support me, switch to the browser version instead, cuz the apple fees have actually taken over 3000 usd from me in the course of a year

Do not under any circumstances give money to genderGP. Your healthcare is filtered through an AI chatbot, you don't get any help, you just pay Insane fees to have the opportunity to buy from their private pharmacy. They offer absolutely nothing you wouldn't get from DIY. It's a scam.
