Ai does not make me feel joy or excitement about the future. Especially regarding the things I love (education, literature, art, music, silly nerdy computer hobby stuff, etc). Does anyone have any thoughts that may somewhat help me feel less dread? Do you think that the desire for human driven creativity, the desire to hold a physical book in your hand, or a physical paint brush, or to hang with your friends outside without cellphones will persist despite all the rubbish?
Or more generally, what gives you hope?
A lot of things make me dread the future, but I can only change the here and now.
Doing everything I can with as little AI as possible or none at all, being creative and holding on to my humanity despite the outside pressure to become dependent on this bullshit, it keeps me sane that at least I’m not letting myself be ruined by offloading my skills and thinking to a machine that can only fake them.
