The “Slow A.I.” psyop is infuriating. As an artist, I’ve been directly impacted by the push to demonize A.I. in the eyes of the masses. I used to host “Way of the Waifu” on Comic Fury, but, while I was dormant they decided to put a “No A.I.” policy in place. I was thinking of hiring some voice actors on Newgrounds, but, they had a “No A.I.” policy. Then there’s the broad demonization of A.I. that has people thinking Skynet will be able to launch the nukes because I created a song or an image. I wish the marketing people hadn’t adopted the term “Artificial Intelligence” for something that is not the least bit intelligent. It is just a dumb productivity tool that can do incredible things in the hands of a patient and determined human being. Which is why the “powers that be” are so scared of it. People like me can take away everything they used to hold on to power. I don’t know how long its been since I’ve “consumed their intellectual property.” I may be watching more A.I. generated mashups of their I.P. now, or original material. Maybe being a culture vandal wasn’t such a good idea after all? Perhaps they shouldn’t have intentionally destroyed Star Wars/Star Trek/Dr. Who/etc etc.? I’m still small but I grow a little more every month, despite the demonization of A.I. and all the time I have to put everywhere but the comic.
Now I’ve got to go fix my car again, but “I’ll be back!”
