When people say they’re anti-AI, they’re clearly talking about generative AI in the arts and LLM slop that C-Suite jackoffs want to use to replace them. You know this. I know this. Everyone knows this. So the “then don’t use spellcheck if you hate AI” talking point is disingenuous horseshit.

I think we can go back, and I won’t have to be so nostalgic, but in the meantime I just wanted to say the time spent not using AI tools isn’t wasted, it’s remembered fondly by me. Ok thanks for reading! 💐

Many dogs are running or standing around, catching their tail , chasing a frisbee, carrying a flower, all tangled up together by their long winding leashes. 

Text reads: "I enjoyed all the imperfect, inefficient time we spent together."

I feel sad I can’t make other people understand what I find endearing about unpolished things and human fumbling. I feel like people gave up so much it can’t even be properly accounted for, and for what?

A yellow dog is resting their head on a table peeking over at many rough drawings. There are lots of little dogs, some doing magic, some with health bars, one with a sword. There's a big sun, clouds, and grass to denote the environment. 

Text reads: "I like every placeholder drawing even if you hate it."

When I think about AI (all the time everyday), I mostly feel extreme anger and buried under that, extreme sadness. I don’t think I have anything particularly new to say on this topic, I just wanted to try to reframe it for myself.

A white dog is curled into a donut shape sleeping. There's a yellow sticky note with donut drawn on it stuck to the dog. Below that is a yellow sticky note with an arrow pointing to the dog, just to emphasize we're talking about. Several more sticky notes are in the bg, probably past pranks.

Text reads: "I like the joke you spent 20 minutes crafting."

It's pretty simple... If you use AI to create art, then you're not an artist. If you use AI to write, then you're not a writer. If you use AI to make music, then you're not a musician. If you use AI to animate, then you're not an animator. If you use AI to make films, then you're not a filmmaker.
