Raw LLM Responses

To the argument that “AI will free up time to do other things”. You hit it on the head perfectly, when you had concluded 'to do what exactly'? The process of creation is the journey. It's a shared journey with other artists and creators. Even for those that don't consider themselves artists or creators. It's a point of camaraderie. It's those experiences while individually different, share a common thread, that make us interesting. You're also right, people just become consumers. Without internalized paths to creation or defining ones existence through arts, stories, experiences, we lose both empathy and connection. We become billboards where the only creativity and experiences we show are the ones we have the tools and ability to express. If that gets reduced to parroting and combining existing pools of data, we lose the individuality, the special, the sparks that define a generation. We're literally on the precipice of a dark age, and we're going into it willingly, because we no longer have the time to live properly, but we're given the tools to fake it. To anesthetize ourselves. We become less interesting. Everyone ends up the same, where we base our interactions on pure pre-made aesthetics, and nothing more. Since anyone can create the desired outcomes, doing anything else would just... be a waste of time. I'm terrified on the other end of the spectrum. AI is now referencing itself in a feedback loop where it's learning pool is created by other AI. And AI hallucinates. A lot. We're rewriting our history with nonsense by the gigabyte, and we wont realize how bad it is until it's too late.
