The Brutalist Laszló Tóth got some help from AI
How is it so easy for people so use these tools knowing there outsized impact on our already failing environment? How can any "creative" look at these tools, knowing they only "work" because they were fed the unattributed work of thousands, tens of thousands, and still think it's no big deal?
I honestly do not understand it.
Giant companies pushing it I understand. They care only only escalating profits.
But people, people like you and me, regular people, we should know better.
Progressives who believe in saving us from global warming should know better. The water used for cooling these GPU farms isn't magic or free. It comes from the same sources that the people, actual human families, use to drink and bathe and cook and wash. It takes that from real people.
People whose job is to create should know better. All of our masters will tally every time one of us admits using genAI and will use that as justification to replace us. "Good enough" will be way of the future. Art will be dead.
No sci fi author could imagine a dystopia as bleak as this. Perhaps 1984. We always focused on the surveillance, forgetting that control of language and history was used to make the people incapable of creative thought. LLMs and genAI can do the same while convincing us that "writing a good prompt" is the same as writing a poem or painting a portrait, convincing us that the chat bot is a "partner" and not a cudgel.
In the end, the government won't even need jackbooted stormtroopers. We'll keep ourselves down and think we are on top.
