  • Amazing and terrifying. Thanks for the link. I am not very technical when it comes to the web so this was eye opening.

    I used to have a small Firefox extension that would stagger my key presses to muddy the waters, but it made typing impractical, so I eventually removed it.

    I wonder what else I can do on my end. And most importantly, what browsers can do for all their users, technical and not, by default.

    People in the creative industry protest AI out of self interest, and nothing more.

    That is absolutely not true

    Self-interest is part of the equation, but every conversation I’ve had with fellow artists regarding genAI included some manner of concern over what we do with Art as a society, the intentionality and the economics of it.

    I protest genAI because what it produces picture-wise is meaningless, largely uncontrollable and ultimately an amalgamation of the training data it’s been fed.

    The consequences of unchecked genAI usage are difficult to formulate because they cross many boundaries. GPS usage hurts spatial reasoning in people that rely on it exclusively, their ability to read a map.
    We must question ourselves on what parts of the human mind are impacted by the existence of a tool that precludes the need to draw, represent, or even imagine something.
