I Dislike Generative AI - Here's Why

 

During my daily routine worrying about our future late stage capitalism dystopia, I was reminded about the ever encroaching black hole generative AI has on human creativity. As a musician, not only do I have to worry about the existential dread of trying to pursue a creative dream in a world where the only thing that matters is how well something can sell, but I now also have to worry about the fact that our capitalist overlords have managed to figure out a way to make money off of art without an artist.

Media Literacy - Introduction to Propaganda

  One of the key issues found in many of today's entertainment mediums is how it can be used to purport ideology, morality, philosophy, and values. This is often considered a good thing because since it allows an audience to think about and refine their own values, they can become more grounded. However, as unfortunate as it is, not all media we consume operates in a genuine fashion. Sometimes an author, publisher, etc. has ulterior motives. Consequently, the finished media takes more of a propagandistic form, with intention to force a reader/viewer's mindset in a particular direction through ingenuine framework instead of honest messaging.
