Goddamn. Imagine being so creatively bankrupt that you can’t even write a simple birthday message for a child without Robot Daddy’s help. I’m so glad the AI bubble is coming crashing down, it couldn’t have come sooner.
I call it brave to call out despicable behavior and this is despicable. Some things should be sacred ffs.
AI sucks but I think it’s unfair to assume everyone feels comfortable, capable or self assured enough to write something of their own.
That is such a stupid argument to make. It is not really so much what you write but the thought behind it. And the thought behind using AI is always signalling something negative. Not writing anything but your name would be more personal and heartfelt than that.
What I find even more revolting is this “any form of accountability is an attack, and I am, therefore, always a victim!” mentality people constantly use to excuse their shitty shitty actions and to avoid even a single iota of self reflection and or self improvement paired with an almost distain for the act of consideration for anything or anyone else outside of their own selfish wants and needs
The victim mentality has been a thing forever but lately people seem to be supporting it. I think this is the result of an overextension of the otherwise helpful trending attitude around being conscious of others’ mental health. I predict soon we’ll see a backlash against both the helpful and maladaptive versions of this attitude, championed by the “self-sufficient man” archetype-- think of the "Oh my god you people can’t do anything" tweet that this post’s title is referencing.
I think that this is the backlash— the maladaptive use of the victim complex to further the agenda of the fascist as the “forever victim“ for anyone (let alone everyone) having dared had their revolting beliefs be challenged by reason.
If you think there is a forthcoming backlash against this usage… perhaps. if so, it had better be fierce and unforgiving. maybe this could be the start of it, and it’s a long fucking time coming.
Personally, I think it’s kind of an online toxicity thing. Everyone is always shitting on everyone else in the most aggressive way possible, so people get defensive out of habit. You also cannot shit on other people if you think there is even a possibility of being wrong, it requires utmost confidence; so it promotes a close-minded ideology. You can’t reflect while shitting on people, only in the toilet
Trying to dunk on someone and getting Uno-reverse counter-dunked is like the epitome of online shame and embarrassment. So just never be wrong and determinedly double-down-dog dunk dubious drama
Our leadership puts it forth as normal behavior. There’s a lack of role models right now.
Not all leadership. Republicans, specifically. their entire platform is grievance politics.
But we have some excellent role models running for office. Make sure to get out and vote!
What role models? Apart from Zohran, I haven’t seen any Dems recently who stand out.
why have self reflection when you can have self esteem?
Oh, the irony of that statement, lol
Yes, it was somewhat sarcastic.
It’s about fake/insecure self-evaluation. You know, we’re on the internet and in the attention economy: a world of external validation by humans and by software.
Can you imagine how Goodhart’s law would apply to “self-esteem 📈”?
Then I would be my parents! D:
It really doesn’t help this kind of attitude when you always have an AI sycophant in your pocket.
I don’t see how bitching about a dumb interaction with a customer is accountability but keyboard warriors gotta feel self righteous too ig
Did you even read my whole comment, or just stop at the part that made you feel bad about yourself?
Because, if you had continued reading, there was a bit in there about self-reflection…
Maybe people use their energy and creativity on something else
Like what? If personal messages on birthday cards aren’t it, where is that last little bit of energy going, huh? I doubt they’re going home to paint or sing or dance. If you don’t have the energy to write about a newborn child, you’re not being creative anywhere else, I guarantee it.
I love how creativity is a zero sum thing.
For real. I’m a believer of the old adage “use it or lose it.” If you’re not working out your creative muscle, it’ll atrophy just like the rest of them.
And they think it’s a “snapshot moment” when someone can’t even bother to think about what to write. I hope i’m that naive.
Wait, nvm, no thanks.
I have a theory that WAY less people are truly conscious and aware of the world then we think.
Just going throoigh the motions. Feeling everything like a human not really a NPC, but just no understanding anything.Just millions quietly miming others in a great charade.
i’ve had this same thought recently. i found it by reviewing my personal motives over the past couple decades and I noticed my goals were Basic Bitch™ which is how i ended up in such a mediocre life
It has been quite an eye-opener to realise that all the „haha all the coding I do is copying and pasting from Stack Overflow“ wasn’t just memes. Glazers are always like „it’s no different from copy and pasting like everyone does“ and I’m just like… people were doing that? That explains so much about the crap I reviewed.
For real!! These people where sloping before LLMs ever even existed.
It’s the Pareto principle in full effect, or the 1% rule. Only a fraction (sometimes a very small fraction) of any given population actually creates or iterates in a meaningful way. Most people are just copying their work, following along without understanding.
If you don’t work to form your own opinions then the world will happily provide them for you.
a lot of people really seem to lack theory of mind.
Horrifying isn’t it?
Lol, “berate” or “shame someone publicly” by recounting an interaction they had with an unnamed woman during their day… These people are so pathetic and thin-skinned that they have to imagine (unlikely) scenarios about why a person couldn’t just write from the heart. Laziness, apathy, insecurity, whatever… But the end result is they chose to rely on a chatbot to pretend to be human and write words they don’t understand to a human they will never meet to convey emotions they don’t possess…
It’s because they feel like they are the one being berated or attacked.
They think, “I would do that. It’s normal. Therefore OP is wrong! I should not be ashamed! I am normal!”
Yep, massive irony. But it’s what I’d expect from the AI cognitively-decayed. They are literally berating someone publically, while complaining that they did the same (as you point out they did not).
Remember, more than 50% of social media posts are AI.
The reason why yall are so insufferable is because you act like hallmark hadnt already been doing this,
When you go to pick a card out in the store those are not your words, either.
Maybe yall don’t buy cards, but holy fuck go tell your parents those birthday cards you got all of your life werent really their words and don’t count. Because those weren’t their words. It was one of 5-10 versions of words they had to choose from, and it was as generic as every child in the country.
Oh yea comparing card art design and words written by a human to AI is totally an argument you want to have.
Hallmark cards can be kinda lame but guess what there friend, the vast, vast majority of people write something additional in the card as a heartfelt message - that’s the part we’re talking about here…
If you didn’t know that, might say more about how much the people around value you lol.
My family always wrote in the cards. Sure the graphic on the front was printed on there, but inside was always hand written messages. I’m sorry your family is so impersonal and shitty. Maybe you can attempt to not be shitty at least. Maybe too late for that though.
*Also those words were still written by a human, so, dumbass take on both counts. It’s almost as if you’re coping with cognitive dissonance… 🤔
We need to reclaim our right to be silly and inefficient.
I feels the same, at this point i’m like that, can’t be angry at them, but feel sad about how fake the world has become.
That comment becomes funny being read under the assumption that Zoodle_123 is an AI bot.
fucking clanker apologists
I usually try to speak to two sides to every story but this is ridiculous
I don’t need to imagine, but I also don’t use AI
it couldn’t have come sooner.
I mean, it could have. And very probably should have.
My dad sent a very obviously ai generated message to my mom for her birthday. She loved it but then again she’s always posting ai generated images and stories on facebook. It’s depressing
