I don’t know if this will make anything better.

Internet is now filled with ai generated text, picture or videos. Like we havent had enough already, it is becaming more and more. We make ai agents to talk to each other.

Someone will make ai to generate a form, many other will use ai to fill that form. Even worst, some people will fill millions of forms in matter of second. What is left is the empty feeling of having a form. If ai generates, and fills, and uses it, what good do we have having a form?

Feel like things get meaningless when ai starts doing it. Would you still be watching youtube, if you knew it is fully ai generated, or would you still be reading hackernews, if you know there not a single human writing here?

It’s wild to me that people see this as bad.

The point of the form is not in the filling. You shouldn't want to fill out a form.

If you could accomplish your task without the busywork, why wouldn’t you?

If you could interact with the world on your terms, rather than in the enshitified way monopoly platforms force on you, why wouldn't you?

And yeah, if you could consume content in the way you want, rather than the way it is presented, why wouldn’t you?

I understand the issue with AI gen slop, but slop content has been around since before AI - it's the incentives that are rotten.

Gen AI could be the greatest manipulator. It could also be our best defense against manipulation. That future is being shaped right now. It could go either way.

Let's push for the future where the individual has control of the way they interact.

There's taking away the busywork such as hand washing every dish and instead using a dishwasher.

Then there is this where, rather than have any dishes, a cadre of robots comes by and drops a morsel of food in your mouth for every bite you take.

Does your analogy mean that you'd like to stop someone from owning that cadre of robots? Or is this just a personal preference?

You can have your dishwasher and I'll take the robots. And we can both be happy.

And therein is the problem - if your robots take up so many resources I can't have my dishwasher, is that your right? Is your right to being happy more important than others?

The problem of resource distribution is solved by money already.

If I can't pay for the robots, I am not getting them. And if I buy my robots and you only get a dishwasher then you can afford two nice vacations on top while I don't.

You don't lose anything if I get robots.
