Where Every Scroll is a New Adventure
Don't take this lying down! Fuck Tumblr feeding AI our posts. Opt-out now! Leave them nothing to work with.
On mobile it's under visibility settings. On browser it's under blog settings. I opted out on browser and I had to do it for each side blog individually. I'm assuming it's the same on mobile.
starting to suspect that tech bros actually just don’t know what reading is
Dang, I was planning to get back to posting on here but tumblr has joined AI hell now too? 😀 Good thing I barely posted my art here, it seems...
Well, if that's the case, I'll most likely be gone for good. Very unfortunate turn of events. I hope this AI disaster will bring forth more apps and sites like artfol that ban it completely and remain a safe space for artists.
ai covers make me so uncomfortable dude. like i know hearing characters or creators sing songs is cool cause its like wow youve never heard them do that that sound cool but like man if that was my voice and people did that id be fucking ill. that would make me so anxious that people were using my voice to make whatever they wanted to hear even if it was nothing malicious. ‘wow that sounded so good, x has so much potential if they did this!’ well they didnt. because they didnt want to. and it wouldnt sound like that anyway cause its fucking ai. but you made them do it anyway i guess
and on a less serious note, how are you going to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to.. not get anything in return. like you're paying so much money to become an expert in what you're majoring in and you're just gonna cheat your way through? WHY PAY FOR IT WHEN YOU COULD JUST NOT DO THAT??? if you don't have the learned skills and information because you were too lazy to do the work, then how will that reflect when you're hired for a job that you actually are not qualified for? especially when you could have been qualified if you had applied yourself and absorbed the knowledge. I know I post a lot about anti ai and it's usually me half-assing an addition onto a perfectly coherent argument, but it genuinely plagues my brain every day. I can't escape it.
"Why is it a problem if students use AI to get through college"
Because if you demonstrate to me that you're willing to set aside concern for truth, evidence, and verifying things with your own eyes whenever it happens to be inconvenient for you, I have a solemn responsibility to make sure you don't get into medical school.
“[Keanu] Reeves said a recent conversation about “The Matrix” with a 15-year-old put things into a terrifying perspective. The actor explained to the teenager that his character, Neo, is fighting for what’s real. The teenager scoffed and said, “Who cares if it’s real?” “People are growing up with these tools: We’re listening to music already that’s made by AI in the style of Nirvana, there’s NFT digital art,” Reeves said. “It’s cool, like, Look what the cute machines can make! But there’s a corporatocracy behind it that’s looking to control those things. Culturally, socially, we’re gonna be confronted by the value of real, or the non-value. And then what’s going to be pushed on us? What’s going to be presented to us?” “It’s this sensorium. It’s spectacle. And it’s a system of control and manipulation,” Reeves continued. “We’re on our knees looking at cave walls and seeing the projections, and we’re not having the chance to look behind us.””
