Moved onto Matrix a while ago because of this. Gonna be real, Discord is better but all Matrix asked me for was hardware verification. I fucking hate this ID verification thing. Like we are going to see a sharp spark in identity theft going forward.

...and shit, I might be part of it. I had to verify with an ID to get my CompTIA tests, which I passed. I am still arguing with Pearson to delete my personal data, but I might be in the shitter with all the others getting their identity stolen.

What's your overall opinion on generative AI?

Yeah, I feel that. Again, I used to be pro AI and my homie did too. We used to get into chats and share AI slop with one another but soon I felt so empty.

Generating AI images feels like gambling in a way. Like it can be funny when it fails, really funny. But passed a point I just felt so fucking empty inside. Was talking to my buddy about it and he agreed, so we both got into drawing for ourselves and felt a lot better lol.

Like okay, we never should have from the start, but both of us now do art on out own. He draws in a notebook and I do pixel art, but I did learn through a very miserable, sloppy journey that the process is just as crucial as the outcome. As a guy who works IT, I feel like I should have know this from the start but oh well.

Did I make a point? I'm gonna be honest, I kinda feel like a just rambled. Like I agree because I was a victim of the slop, I guess.

We should have stopped at Akinator. Every AI passed him isn't needed.

Honestly, using local LLMs on my own computer made the point of how harmful they are hit way more. I got Google's Gemma and ran it on my own hardware and this thing made my poor laptop cry.

Thing is, my specs are really good. Again, my laptop is a beast and it ran like 100% CPU, 100% GPU, and 100% of my 64gb of DDR5 Ram! Seeing it and how hot it made my computer did make me think like... it's one thing to say these are bad for the environment and another to see how demanding this technology is.

And as for it making people stupid? Yeah, it does. A lot of my coworkers who got into using AI can't even write up an email without using AI. I even caught my boss asking Gemini for assistance in budgeting and like bro, you have been doing this for years! You cant budget without AI? What are you, a smooth sloperator?
