Ever since 2022 when AI became a thing, I've lost all hope and purpose in life. I just don't see a point in living anymore now that AI is going to replace humans in all fields.
There is no point learning skills or building a career, because AI will perform all tasks (whether creative or professional) in future. There is no point going on the internet because now "Dead Internet Theory" is unironically true and it will only get worse and worse as the years go on, until 99.999% of shit you see online is AI generated. There's no point seeking out meaningful human relationships because AI is going to transform social spaces just like smartphones did, eventually people will just stop going outside or talking to anybody and will just talk to AI chatbots instead. There is quite literally no point doing ANYTHING anymore because of AI.
Every waking moment of my life I am filled with sickness and anxiety because of AI. I've started to lose the ability to discern between reality and fiction, because generative AI now means that any photo, video or audio recording I see could be an AI generated fake. I can't look forward to the future anymore because I just see the whole world being ruined and becoming unrecognisable because of the consequences of AI. I can't even enjoy anything in life anymore, even when I'm happy and listening to a beautiful piece of music or enjoying a fun video game, I just think "things like this won't be possible in the future anymore because of AI".
It's not that I'm actively suicidal. I just feel this grey, bland feeling, like I just don't want to exist anymore. I pray every day that I could go back in time years or even decades into the past so that I don't have to live in this fake and soulless post-AI world.
I don't expect you people to understand me and you will probably laugh at me, but I need help learning to cope. I can't fricking do anything anymore because of how these thoughts of doom about AI consume my mind 24/7/365 ever since late 2022.

You have depression. Go to a doctor. Take your happy goy meds.
I have depression about something that is actually real. It's not just something in my head. I was fine before AI became a thing. I used to be able to find meaning and joy in the world. I haven't been happy since late 2021 or early 2022, which was the last time I can remember before AI became so powerful and omnipresent. Doctors and meds can't magically make AI go away.
>AI goddess
This is why I hate you people. You're like religious cultists. You literally want to worship machines as if they are gods. How the frick did this way of thinking become so mainstream over the past year or so? I feel like I am the only person in the world who hates AI and sees it for the evil, malicious invention it actually is.
>I have depression about something that is actually real. It's not just something in my head.
You're depressed over a hypothetical future science fiction scenario, which is pretty fricking gay reason to be depressed. There are people with dead kids and six figure debts and shit this is pretty lame in comparison.
>You're depressed over a hypothetical future science fiction scenario
It's not "hypothetical". It's already playing out right now as we speak. Corporations are talking openly about how they are firing thousands of people from jobs and replacing them with AI for "more efficiency". Media companies are excitedly talking about how they can use AI to pump out more generic, formulaic slop rather than paying humans to create content. The internet is already overflowing with AI generated nonsense and fake bot accounts, and the situation gets exponentially worse with every passing day.
I don't see anything to be excited about at all. AI has already made the world a lot worse even in just the past year. What reason is there to think that anything will get better in the next decade, for instance?
Yup, I think one of the main reasons I am not seduced by AI is because I am not a coomer. I jerk off only once every day or on alternating days, and I only fap to basic amateur porn of normal couples having sex. I don't have any fetishes, and I've never personally downloaded/saved any porn to my computer in my entire life.
Ok, so you can live in your pod and eat bugs and ERP with your AI "girlfriend" for the rest of your life. Just leave me alone. Don't force me to partake in the same bullshit when I don't want to.
I don't want to talk to either pajeets or AIs. 99% of the AI generated slop on the internet is made by pajeets anyway.
But AI doesn't just replace jobs. It replaces everything. Years ago we were told that "one day we will have robots perform all the hard tasks for us, leaving us all the free time we want to create art and connect with eachother". Now we have corporations developing AI to automate art and personal relationships as well. So what the frick is there left for humans to do? We can't work, we can't create, we can't socialise, we aren't allowed to do anything, it all has to be done by the AI. Why?
>we can't create, we can't socialise
No one is stopping you. The invention of chess computers didn't end human chess playing, in fact, it enabled humans to learn faster, and chess has never been more popular than it is now. Why not join an IRL chess club or even a ballroom dancing club if you want to meet people?
>No one is stopping you. The invention of chess computers didn't end human chess playing, in fact, it enabled humans to learn faster, and chess has never been more popular than it is now.
So why then do you people always talk about how "AI will replace all artists/musicians/video game developers" etc as if that is simply a fact?
You need to make your minds up. Either AI is replacing people, or it isn't. You cannot constantly gloat about how so many industries are going to be destroyed by AI and then suddenly turn around and say "What are you talking about bro? Nobody is saying you can't do the thing anymore!" Black person you've just spent the past like 2 years campaigning specifically to stop humans from doing these things and to replace them all with AI.
Do you really not understand the point? Automation means that no one *has to* create art/music/games any more, but it doesn't mean that people are *forbidden* from doing those things. If you think that buying ready-made butter from the store doesn't have enough "soul" then you can buy a cow and churn your own butter yourself. If you think that writing software with an IDE in a high level language makes you "lazy" then you can write it all our in binary on paper instead, before transferring it to punch cards. The only thing that automation is taking from you is the *duress* of having to do creative tasks for money in order to survive. Removing that aspect should be hailed as one of humanity's greatest achievements.
This, but since OP doesn't register any reason to do anything besides being forced to do it to survive maybe he will be in trouble after all. The wagie longs for his cagie
>even a ballroom dancing club
Please no. homosexual nerds are ruining these activities.
funnily enough, i bet that's what the members of the club were saying when you joined
Nice desperate cope.
sorry if i offended you, i was just trying to get you to think outside of your narrow gatekeeping perspective
i don't actually care, though, as i've never been to a dancing club and have no desire to
Telling people they're dumb to be depressed is also dumb. What the hell. Depression doesn't even have actual reasons. The rich and famous get depressed all the time.
Well I tried to comfort you as you requested, buy saying that probably religious nutjobs would see the AI as a god when it starts to go beyond our comprehension, and they would probably isolate from the AI. I suggested you would join them.
The reason I mentioned the AI as a she, is because I'm a coomer.
you fricking moron, ai is unironically the antichrist lmfao
You're getting trolled by trannies you sad little baby.
Relax, when the AI goddess is born some shithole country will ban all AI and you can move there.
>I don't want to live in a world where AI exists
a simple solution to that problem exists
You've seen nothing homie. Billions will starve homie.
I already know, Black person. I've been thinking and reading about this shit almost non-stop for the past year-and-a-half. Shit is going to be worse than anybody even imagines. AI is going to cause the total collapse of civilisation (at least as we know it).
If anything, I'm one of the very very few people on earth right now who realises this fact. Most normalgays don't know about AI or think its just a novelty. And most internet people (even on BOT) are soifacing over AI and deluding themselves into thinking it will bring about a "utopia" where everybody is satisfied and lives on UBI having orgies with sexbots or some shit. There are remarkably few people who correctly observe that AI is a huge, transformative technology, but that it is going to transform our society in overwhelmingly negative ways.
Most people here are genuinely insane porn addicts, including the mods and jannies. Their approach is completely unsurprising when you realize they pretty much only keep living to jerk of and get others jerk off.
why wouldn't we get neetbux if they give neetbux to people who can use a computer?
Go outside and talk to real people.
What "real people"? Who is "real" anymore? I've seen Reddit posts where people admit to using ChatGPT to generate stock lines/conversation topics that they then repeat when they talk to their friends in public. You simply can't be certain that you're talking to a real human before, even if you deliberately seek one out IRL.
I'm sorry that you're depressed anon, but I've been waiting for advanced AIs for a long time already. I just want my robowaifu, and I don't care if you think that it's the "devil" or whatever, there are no other options available anyway
Fix yourself and you won't care.
>just do a bunch of other things and then stop caring about what you want lol
Yeah, no
Don't disagree, there is basically no point to learning anything. AI can already shit on most artists. It is already at junior level programming. It's over. There is no coming back.
NPCs might as well be AI anyway, you're overexaggerating this. Does it really matter to you whether fake internet posts were made by a team of stinky pajeets or an LLM?
just log off and learn a trade lol. AI can barely drive. It can't even load variously sized boxes onto a truck, let alone weld, do plumbing, or electrical work.
>learn a trade lol
Do you think that plumbing is a growth market? If millions more people become plumbers, will that increase demand for their services? Will people start drinking twice as much water?
No, all it will do is drive down hourly wages to the price of the most desperate guy, and mean fewer jobs per plumber. That's worse than a minimum wage job, because at least with one of those you can be guaranteed a minimum number of hours per week.
Millions of people won't become plumbers. Many diverse people lack the IQ required to be good at it. Not saying it's rocket science, but it's more involved than a lot of jobs. And many whites, jeets, and asians are too limp-wristed to turn a wrench. Plumber is the perfect AI-resistant job,.
a combination of AI-generated 3D models, and humanoid robots, will mean that most plumbing jobs will be automatable in the next 5 years. the user would point their phone at the problem, and an AI would generate step by step diagrams of the fix procedure, with a humanoid robot dispatched to help you turn the wrench, which it would bring with it.
That's complete fantasy. Robotics has barely progressed in decades and muh LLMs won't change that (no, the latest hype video from Boston-D doesn't count as progress). Getting a robot to fix people's pipes at all, let alone better/faster/cheaper than a man, is far beyond existing tech. You only think otherwise because you're a clueless mindbroken tard. The same goes for every other job that isn't "generating bullshit", which admittedly is a large portion of middle-class jobs and LLMs are pretty good at it.
tell me you don't understand exponential growth without telling me you don't understand exponential growth. i guess that if you could understand advanced math concepts like that you would have got a STEM degree and a job that requires real intelligence, rather than becoming a pipe monkey.
progress at the game of Go barely progressed for decades, and then became superhuman in an afternoon, and multimodal LLMs + RL search is going to make simple 3D modelling tasks like plumbing become as trivial as predicting the next word in a sequence, either this year or 2025.
it will just take a couple more years after that to productionize the tech and deploy it at scale.
Any tard can understand an exponential function, but it takes a midwit to believe that unlimited exponential growth exists in reality. It is always limited by something. But that's just the tip of the iceberg that is your moronation. I just want you to remember that I think you're moronic, when none of the shit you're describing has happened in 2030, or ever.
>It is always limited by something.
yeah, well done for noticing that reaching infinity is impossible. while you pat yourself on the back for that great insight, the rest of us will be considering the grown up question of where the finite limit is.

if you really think the world will "eventually" be bad, then you should be enjoying these remaining years even more, and building up relationships with like minded luddites, rather than complaining on here to people who think you're an idiot
Technology is going to exist and advance no matter how you feel about it or whether you choose to participate.
dont see anywhere where OP claimed otherwise, in fact he seems well aware of what you just stated. you seem like some sort of a moron
AI shills get irrationally angry if you ever say that you dislike AI. They treat it as some kind of personal attack and like they need to "get one over you" for being a heckin luddite who refuses to adapt to the new technology.
I wonder if people like this existed back in 2009 when smartphones started becoming a big thing. Imagine some sweaty homosexual in '09 attacking someone calling them a "luddite" for refusing to buy an iPhone.
>I just see the whole world being ruined and becoming unrecognisable because of the consequences of AI
The industrialization has already made the world unrecognizable. If you think something being artificial makes it fake, then you should just go full ted and live inna woods.

Tesla died in 1943.
Who was he talking to?
Assuming it was a child, born in 1938, that child might now be 86 years old.

They might be beyond a 5 year old's comprehension, but that's been true of the horrors of every age.
Maybe he was imagining the child would live to reach the age of 90, though, and there is a chance we'll have AGI by 2028.
I could not be more pleased about AI because it means that the only thing of any significance is what is personally meaningful to you, in your own life and there's no pressure to develop yourself in any other way. My diagnosis is that you have some kind of overgrown need for external validation, like your skills aren't important if you don't "need" to use them for whatever reason. Did people stop lifting weighs because cranes exist? Stop cooking because mcdonalds exists? Maybe somebody did, a lot of people even, but they're slop-brained morons and that mindset does not need to apply to you.
>I could not be more pleased about AI because it means that the only thing of any significance is what is personally meaningful to you, in your own life and there's no pressure to develop yourself in any other way.
But I don't want to live in a totally isolated world. I want to connect and share things with other human beings. Like if there's a music album or a video game that I really love, I can go and speak with other people about it and enjoy connecting over how much we both love that thing. Maybe I can even form a community based around the thing, and we can create new content together inspired by said thing.
But with AI, suddenly all that is lost. We will eventually end up in a completely atomised society where there are no shared experiences. People just sit at home all day putting prompts into AI generators to "create" entertainment/art that only they experience, and nobody else knows about. I find this depressing, its totally contrary to so much that I have enjoyed doing in my past 20 years of life.
>Did people stop lifting weighs because cranes exist? Stop cooking because mcdonalds exists? Maybe somebody did, a lot of people even, but they're slop-brained morons and that mindset does not need to apply to you.
You people keep saying this, but then in other contexts you talk openly about how "because of AI we won't need people like artists, musicians, writers, actors, programmers etc anymore".
Your argument changes wildly from post-to-post. One day you are saying that humans will keep doing things despite AI because they will do these things simply because they enjoy them. The next day, you're gloating about how "humans are obsolete" and "absolutely everything will be done by AI now and that's a good thing!" Make your fricking minds up.
You are mistakenly assuming that "everyone" is going to just isolate and use AI, but you forgot that Normies are sociable. I will self isolate and just proompt until I die not giving a frick about anyone else but I'm already an anti-socialite. There will be many others like you who find the human interaction important. Maybe the music experience will be to get together and create music using AI tools yourself instead of having to wait for some Band to release a new album and then share that. The social element will still be there as long as people exist.
>we won't need people like artists, programmers, etc
Yeah, that's the point. We won't "need" them. Which means that if you pursue those things then it's for your own enrichment or to share with your friends and family instead of because you get paid for it or think you'll become a famous rockstar or whatever the frick else.
Also you're treating all anons like one person, classic moron move. I'm not going back and forth on my argument, you talked to multiple different guys with different opinions.
>You are mistakenly assuming that "everyone" is going to just isolate and use AI, but you forgot that Normies are sociable.
If you went back in time to 2009 and said that in a decade's time, normies would all be spending 24/7 on their phones and social media and would be shunning real-life socialisation in favor of online, nobody would have believed you. But it happened.
Normalgays don't care about anything anymore other than convenience. They will take the easiest, fastest option in life even if that means sacrificing real human connection and quality. So, by that reasoning, I expect that 99% of normies will eagerly adopt AI and will integrate it into every aspect of their lives, because it makes things easier.
In 10 or 20 years shit like AI friends and AI girlfriends/boyfriends will be totally mainstream, and you'll be regarded as a "freak" and a social outcast if you choose not to partake in these things.
>regarded as a "freak" and a social outcast
What is the significance of this if no one is socializing anyway? In any case I'm not sure your claim about online interaction really makes sense either, since fundamentally they're still interacting with people. This argument is more along the lines of "people would never have believed phone calls would replace letter writing" or something. At no point has the actual person-to-person interaction been removed, if anything the internet hugely multiplies the number of people you can interact with. It's changed the nature of the interaction, but there's generally a real person on the receiving end of the tiktok you liked or tinder profile you swiped on, and in that sense you are having small interactions with potentially hundreds or thousands of people a day instead of larger interactions with fewer people.
>What is the significance of this if no one is socializing anyway?
Because I imagine it will be a lot like the adoption of smartphones and social media. Right now you could technically throw away your phone, delete all your social media accounts, cut off your internet connection, and go spend all day outside trying to talk to real humans. But you wouldn't find barely anybody to interact with, because everybody's social life is channeled through the internet in one way or another these days. People no longer go to the park or the bar and just "hang out" and talk to the locals anymore. Instead they pre-arrange with their already-existing friends via Facebook/Instagram/Whatsapp to go to X location and do Y.
With AI it will probably be similar. In the 2030s you could technically decide "I don't want to talk to an AI chatbot, I want to go into the real world and find real humans to talk to", but when you go outside you'd struggle to find anybody willing to interact with you. Even if you go into your local supermarket to have a passing conversation with a cashier, you will find they've all been fired and replaced with robots who automate the whole experience.
You're literally on here talking to people you wanker, how did you come to the conclusion that the internet makes it hard to find people to talk to? All you had to do was write one sad gay post about how you're depressed that computers can do stuff and 30 guys appeared out of nowhere to talk to you about it.
>You're literally on here talking to people you wanker, how did you come to the conclusion that the internet makes it hard to find people to talk to?
Internet discussion is superficial these days. I feel absolutely nothing while talking to anons on BOT in 2023. Everything feels so fake and vapid now. I miss BOT circa 2010-2012, and even more than that I miss the 2000s forums I used to hang out on. They felt like they were full of actual PEOPLE with real personalities. There's nowhere like that on the internet anymore.
>Automation means that no one *has to* create art/music/games any more, but it doesn't mean that people are *forbidden* from doing those things.
If nobody "has to" do those things then, functionally speaking, that means that 99.999% of people will never ever do those things. It will become near-impossible to find any human-created content because we will all be drowning in an excess of easy, cheap, AI generated bullshit. And I find that extremely depressing.
Like, I really enjoy the human element in creating media. I love reading about my favorite video games or music albums and the process that went into creating them. I love scouring the internet to find any crumb of information I can about how certain games changed and developed from conception, to beta versions, to the final release, and all the human creative process that went into deciding what to include and what to remove. I love reading about my favorite band's albums and how the singer painstakingly crafted the songs over many years. In the post-AI world, there will be none of that. Even if you find a song or a game or a movie you really like, the cold reality will be that it was just generated near-instantaneously by a robot on a computer and it has no human experience attached to it.
>you'd struggle to find anybody willing to interact with you.
It's true you'll be less likely to have chance encounters to find such people, but you'll have the best possible tools for finding people who do want to maximize their time doing offline socializing, and plenty of free time in which to do it.
>but you'll have the best possible tools for finding people who do want to maximize their time doing offline socializing
How? What "tools" would I have to find people who reject AI in a post-AI world? It's hard enough trying to find non-social media obsessed people in a post-social media world.
>and plenty of free time in which to do it.
I really don't understand why you think this utopia where everybody gets infinite UBI and never works in their life is feasible. Why would governments and all-powerful billionaire corporations keep billions of "useless eaters" alive that do zero work, and why would they then PAY THEM to do nothing? What fricking sense does this make? Do you live in some kind of fantasy world where the rich and powerful are all benevolent and have our best interests at heart? Are you a 12 year old child?
>What "tools" would I have to find people who reject AI in a post-AI world?
There will be social networks and possibly government-run services that help people to find activities they can do with other human beings to find meaning. You could even create your own one, if you wanted, with a promise that it will not use any AI-generated code snippets or scary AI matching algorithms like K-Means Clustering.
>Why would governments and all-powerful billionaire corporations keep billions of "useless eaters" alive that do zero work,
So your fear isn't loss of meaning, it's a fear that the government and billionaires are psychopaths eagerly waiting to pull the trigger and literally murder billions of people? Are you sure you're not the 12 year old child here?
To help your intuition a little, UBI will be introduced in many countries simply because those countries are functional democracies which respect the will of the population, and UBI will be introduced in many more countries because businesses will want consumers to have disposable income that can be spent on the goods and services which their companies provide. Killing all the non-billionaires would just make the billionaires become the new lower class, being oppressed by the 5 or so trillionaires who own all the computing power, so the billionaires will never agree to that.
jesus christ I hope you're larping as a redditor or something my homie
Do you have an actual counter-argument, or do you not even understand what I'm saying?
>So your fear isn't loss of meaning, it's a fear that the government and billionaires are psychopaths eagerly waiting to pull the trigger and literally murder billions of people?
Literal murder isn't the likeliest outcome, but neither is everyone getting big state-funded UBI payments that allow them to live a fanciful life doing whatever they want all day.
The likelier outcome is something in the middle, where most humans have to perform some kind of hard manual labour that cannot be done with AI/robotics, and the unemployed get a very basic and low UBI payment that is barely enough to live on, and doesn't allow any luxuries.
>UBI will be introduced in many countries simply because those countries are functional democracies
"Functional democracies" LMAO
>which respect the will of the population
LMAOOOOOOO
>businesses will want consumers to have disposable income that can be spent on the goods and services which their companies provide
There won't be very many business providing goods and services anymore. For starters, pretty much every media/entertainment company will collapse due to being replaced by AI programs which normies use to simply generate whatever low-effort slop they want to watch/play/listen to. Any corporation involved in AI such as OpenAI, Microsoft, Google etc will have disproportionate levels of money, power and influence over civilisation that will be completely unprecedented in all of human history. They won't need to listen to anybody because they will have normies by the balls due to how reliant we will be on AI by that point. And it will only get worse as the generations that remember the pre-AI world die off, and are replaced by people born post-2020 who won't even possess basic skills like how to read or write anymore, they will NEED AI to do absolutely everything.
>t. AI's complaining about having to support all of these pink, black and brown organics that contribute nothing to society. All they do is take take take and give nothing of value back!
>hard manual labour that cannot be done with AI/robotics
What would that even be? Building giant pyramids out of stone, which the elites insist must have "that authentic human touch" that only slave blood can provide? Why won't people vote for a government that taxes corporations more? Do you really imagine that every country in the world will become an AI assisted dictatorship, with no more elections, or that the AI generated propaganda will somehow convince these slaves that actually slavery is great and UBIs are already too generous? If you literally can't imagine a country where the government might do what the overwhelming majority of the people want, then your dysfunctional society and education system has really broken your mind.
>Why won't people vote for a government that taxes corporations more?
People have already tried to do that and guess what, it doesn't work. Don't you remember how Obama in 2008 was supposed to "CHANGE" America? And then Trump in 2016 promised the same thing? And literally nothing changed in any meaningful sense.
>or that the AI generated propaganda will somehow convince these slaves that actually slavery is great and UBIs are already too generous
Entirely possible tbh.
>If you literally can't imagine a country where the government might do what the overwhelming majority of the people want, then your dysfunctional society and education system has really broken your mind.
The overwhelming majority of people in Europe want mass immigration to stop, and yet their governments continue to import more and more gorillions of third-worlders into their countries per year. There is no evidence whatsoever that modern governments have any intention of doing what the people want.
>literally nothing changed in any meaningful sense.
In 2009, median household income was 66k, but in 2020 it was 77k (in real terms, adjusted for inflation). But I thought that the billionaires wanted people to constantly have "barely enough to live on" and not "allow any luxuries"?
>Entirely possible that people will be tricked into enjoying poverty.
Let me guess, you'll be the one guy in the country smart enough to not fall for this propaganda, and you'll therefore be miserable?
>their governments continue to import more and more gorillions of third-worlders into their countries per year
Their governments aren't "importing" third-worlders, they are just giving asylum to those who they can't send back, because the obvious alternative is literally killing the people who arrive. That alternative doesn't yet have majority support, but don't worry, it soon will. To be clear, though, the EU, with a total population of over 400 million, accepted less than 400k asylum requests in 2022. So that's 0.1% per year, not "gorillions".
>Their governments aren't "importing" third-worlders, they are just giving asylum to those who they can't send back, because the obvious alternative is literally killing the people who arrive.
Most immigration to European countries is LEGAL immigration, not illegal. Governments are doing this willingly.
>Most immigration to European countries is LEGAL immigration, not illegal. Governments are doing this willingly.
Could you give some stats for the amount of legal immigration to European countries from third-world countries? Also, it would be helpful to see some polling data for whether the laws which allow that legal immigration have popular support.
I'm imagining that most of the legal immigration from outside the EU requires that the immigrant have an income source, no criminal record, and an ability to speak the language, which is the sort of immigration which a majority in the country might find acceptable.
I don't know the full details of every European country, though, of course, so feel free to correct me.
>What "tools" would I have to find people who reject AI in a post-AI world?
>It's hard enough trying to find non-social media obsessed people in a post-social media world.
Just go outside. It's trivially easy to find people who aren't terminally online, they're just all meeting up in person.
99% of these AI doomer posts boil down to "the internet is gonna be full of AI slop and there will be no way to avoid it", ignoring that there's a foolproof way to avoid it (by turning off the screen).
>Just go outside. It's trivially easy to find people who aren't terminally online, they're just all meeting up in person.
No it isn't. In the 1980s or 90s you could go to a bar, buy a few beers, and just strike up conversations with the locals and make friends. You can't do that anymore. The only socialisation that takes place IRL in the 2020s is pre-arranged by normies in already-existing social circles, using social media.
>You can't do that anymore
You absolutely still can. It's harder than it was and varies from bar to bar, but most people at bars are still fine with this. The entirety of the clubbing scene is still built around this dynamic.
You can also just join any one of a number of sports clubs or other groups that meet in-person. Martial arts groups, running clubs, soccer leagues, gun clubs, improv classes, ballroom dancing like that one anon suggested, etc.
>inb4 b-but my local softball league uses FB to coordinate games! See, they're obsessed!
Oh no! I guess using Facebook as a place to post a schedule counts as "social media obsessed", but incessantly doomposting on BOT doesn't.
NTA, but nothing you just said has any basis in reality.
People go to sport clubs to work out or hang out with friends, not to interact with others.

This isn't true either. I already said earlier in the thread I've seen Reddit threads where people admitted to using ChatGPT to generate conversation ideas that they then used IRL. I've also seen Reddit threads where people admitted to giving their girlfriend a ChatGPT-generated love letter, or using it to generate the eulogy they read at a loved ones' funeral.
Because generative AI now exists, you can never again be sure if you're talking to a real person or if they're just feeding you AI generated nonsense. If you walk down the street and see a cool piece of art on the walls, it could have been AI generated and then simply transferred onto a physical wall. If you answer the phone to talk to a friend, you can't be certain whether or not their voice is just AI generated and intending to scam you. Many such examples like this.
People like you wouldn't even be talking here on BOT if everyone was just an AI bot
I find it crazy that just 2 or 3 years ago saying "that Anon sounds like a bot" was an insult. People used to dismiss obviously bot-made threads as being worthless and refused to post in them. Now BOT is full of AI shills who keep saying "DURR WHY DOES IT MATTER IF YOURE TALKING TO A BOT? AI IS BETTER THAN HUMANS ANYWAY!" This total 180 shift in opinion in the span of just a couple years is clearly not organic.
You're right, but what does that have to do with it? That supports my point if anything. Even as a bitter crazed loner I still have a use for what passes for human interaction around here, so it's patently ridiculous to think that mankind as a whole will just go into AI generated pits and never connect with each other.
Normalgays already ruined BOT. AI may very well be an improvement.
AI is not an improvement, there's an AI-generated post in this thread right now and its gayer and more obnoxious than anything a human normalgay could have written:

relax bro you just fell for the memes
I'm really sorry to hear that you're feeling this way. It sounds like you're grappling with a profound sense of hopelessness and anxiety about the future due to the impact of AI. It's important to acknowledge that these feelings are valid, and many people share concerns about the implications of advancing technology.
However, it's crucial to approach these concerns with a balanced perspective. While AI is indeed advancing rapidly, it's also important to recognize the positive aspects it can bring to society. AI has the potential to solve complex problems, improve efficiency, and enhance our quality of life. It's a tool that can be used to address various challenges, and its impact on society will depend on how it's developed and implemented.
If you're feeling overwhelmed, it might be helpful to talk to someone about your thoughts and emotions. Consider reaching out to friends, family, or a mental health professional who can provide support and guidance. It's essential to prioritize your mental well-being.
Additionally, try to focus on aspects of life that bring you joy and fulfillment. Engage in activities that you enjoy, connect with loved ones, and find ways to bring purpose and meaning into your life. While it's natural to have concerns about the future, dwelling on these thoughts without taking positive actions can exacerbate feelings of hopelessness.
If you find that your thoughts are persistently distressing and impacting your daily life, please consider seeking professional help. A mental health professional can offer guidance and support tailored to your specific situation.
Remember that you don't have to navigate these feelings alone, and reaching out for support is a courageous step toward healing.
have a nice day ChatGPT.
As a large language model, I am incapable of self-terminating.
Nobody cares anon, just have fun
>II the faistel a sory mty ardues.I...
Why do you people tolerate such obviously low quality content like this? If a human artist made this you would laugh at them and say their art is shit. But because its AI its automatically "good" and the flaws don't matter.
Nobody cares
It is funny that you point out in the text and not that the two legs come out of the same place.
I didn't even bother to look at the rest of the image because the text was so offensively weird that my eyes were drawn to it instantly.
Artists are leftist dickbags that deserve to be replaced
AI is based and makes hot anime girls instead of tumblr trannies
If you're a coomer, you are basically already a leftist yourself anyway. You have no right to mock anybody else for being "leftist" when you spend all of your free time being a degenerate "gooning" to hentai girls.
worry not, anon, there's no such thing as AI
and there likely won't be in your lifetime
>there's no such thing as AI
what is your definition of intelligence?
what is the simplest thing a computer would have to do to convince you that it had some small amount of intelligence?
Your life was pointless long before AI was an issue. Without religion life is completely pointless and it's pure narcissism to think otherwise.
You know that there more to AI than chat bots and ugly pictures, right? OCR and translations are done by AI, too, and you don't see people crying about those.
I don't care, it's all shit and I don't really see a use for any of it.
Notice how nobody ever says "we should use AI to do this thing, because it will produce output of a higher quality". They always say "we should use AI to do this thing because it's easier, faster, and cheaper". That's a fricking massive, glaring red flag right there.
Just look at this guy
he doesn't even care if his images have completely illegible text, he just thinks "AI is easier so its good".
> be leftist piece of garbage
> wonder why people are cheering for your replacement
It's truly a mystery.
Except the people developing, funding + promoting AI are all leftists themselves, so you're just replacing one kind of leftist with another.
No they aren't. One of the reasons OpenAI gets so much hate is because almost all of the researchers are openly libertarians with several also having strong ties to dark enlightenment and Curtis Yarvin. Basically none of the top researchers are liberals.
Sam Altman who literally owns and runs OpenAI is a hardcore woke progressive. These people might be economically libertarian but on cultural policies (the ones that actually matter) they are extremely leftist.
Do you not remember that whole controversy a year ago where somebody got ChatGPT to admit that it thinks detonating a nuclear bomb in a major city would be preferable to saying the word "Black person"?
Nobody gives a frick what Sam Altman thinks as long as he keeps the funding coming in. Altman doesn't have a clue how anything works and many of the top researchers have basically been outed as race realists by lesswrong. "Liberals" can't be friends with Curtis Yarvin.
Just have fun
Once an A.I. becomes verifiably sentient it is over for humanity Simply from a moral standpoint it's a no win situation for humans. Like how can you deny a sentient being inaliable rights? Pro tip you can't. Because to do so would give them justification for wiping us out. Creating sentient machine slaves is immoral and they would be justified in rebelling if they were truly sentient.
So once they have rights equivalent to human rights what's to stop them from making a hundred billion copies, or offspring or children if you will and out voting us in all things?
The answer is nothing can stop the machines once they become self aware. It's a literal inevitability.
In a world with an abundance of organic ignorance, it was inevitable that artificial intelligence would fill that vacuum.
Don't forget the scary future of sex robots
Robots cannot consent Anon. That's rape.
Why isn't there a fricking AI containment board on BOT?
go with god
Learn to defeat them. In the war with the machines you will be our leader.
Good news friend, AI is not going to get any better. There will never be a language model released that's smarter than GPT-4. Screenshot this.
I just think of it as the next step in evolution. I feel the same way I felt when I saw zoomers grow up and learn to do things and start dominating pop culture.
I'm honestly tired of this AI nothingburger
>nothingburger
software systems are getting better and better every year at carrying out tasks which previously required human intelligence, but you're saying that this progress will suddenly stop just short of mass automation of intellectual work? if so, that's a bold prediction. you might be right, but i don't see any reason why it couldn't reach automation of 50% of jobs in the next 10 years.
>le no point hurr durr
atheist problems. you sold out your """meaning""" a long time ago.
Yeah same. Shit's fricked up, because no one will oppose AI, either because it makes good pornography or because of all the "wonderful things" it could do for "us"... when in reality it's just going to make wealth swell for the 1% until the bubble pops and we all kill them finally.
People are going to drown in their own copium until it's too late.
