I think that the thing that bums me out about LLM shit the most isn't the rampant theft required to build them; or the ludicrous amounts of energy required to run them; or even the money-boner it gives the capital class at the idea of being able to replace all human labor.

I think the thing that bums me out the most is that, with the massive amounts of bullshit being produced by it, it brings us closer to a world where everything sucks and no one gives a shit.

Like, I give a lot of shit. I take pride in the work I do for others. I try REALLY REALLY hard to give my full best effort at everything I do. But these LLMs seem to encourage a very "shit-it-and-ship-it" mentality around content generation and retch vibe coding

@rgegriffChrisshy Keygen this is strictly a "yes, and" from me, but: i would even go so far as to separate "effort" from "care and intention"; i actually like a lot of low-effort art and humor specifically because it captures creators' deeply human feelings of spontaneity and the raw desire to create. and a lot of LLM art is about "the aesthetics of high effort", eg meticulous detail that impresses people who don't actually know anything or give a shit about art.
