As an artist, I hate AI art.

Expand full comment

Thanks Janet! I thought about this and I think AI art may actually make a case for real artists. There are people who genuinely love art and would support authenticated and true art. This is the market that is on the rise, albeit it would be a specialty market -- it would be separate from AI art.

Those are my high-level ideas though. Curious to hear yours.

As a creative writer, I hate the idea of AI using plagiarism to "create" new content.

Great article, Franklin!

Thanks Butternut! I was just thinking about another article on AI as well. When you say "hate AI using plagiarism to create new content," is that because it access all the old information out there, and then based on the prompt, formulates something new?

That's my understanding of it, but maybe I'm wrong,,,,,

right? hahaha ... i tried so hard to have a dialogue and then folks, loved ones would just go for the jugular or are indifferent. Heartbreaking, soul destroying... yet once every ten or 20 years there is someone in an emotionally intelligent mood for ten minutes and it is heaven on earth.. Jesus cannot return quick enough for me so I can go home because this life is hell much of the time.

Andrejka! Thank you for your service! By sowing them seeds, someone, somehow, eventually wakes up. Definitely takes a while, but they wake up eventually 😊 —- but totally understand the frustration

Yup, having NPC's in my own family is scary. How is it that all my family members, whom I grew up and went to church with, are so ignorant? Is ignorance not an utmost terrible way of evil? The Bible suggests many times that it in fact is, and it sounds like a severe issue that comes from the ways of the devil ("haters of truth", etc.)

The Bible predicted these times would come and that fake Christians would exist and participate in the evil world. Even those not lining up for sex changes for themselves, their children and grandchildren still are not actual christians because they lack fear of the Lord which is the beginning of wisdom thinking that God is some type of genie to make their dreams and wishes come true... This is why we have to keep bringing salvation up to our family, friends and congregation because most if not all, including the pastor are likely still lost.

"the gospel By which also ye are saved, [believe that] Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: 1 Corinthians 15:1-4; Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins ..., through the forbearance of God; Romans Chapter 3:25

If only Franklin could come over and try this on my family, and the people I unfortunately have to deal with, lol.

In all seriousness, this article is spot-on, just impractical when the people with whom you disagree are completely ignorant.

"Why do they see things this way? When you steel man, you’re treating their argument with respect, showing that you understand their perspective. You’re becoming one with their point of view."

There are some world views that are not deserving of anything but laughter unless of course you are having a conversation with a 5-year old.

Like the people who believe the government is at all trustworthy and/or cares about us. Those people are 100% impossible to awaken, and trying to wake them up is almost a waste of energy. And the chances they'll even stick around for a Socratic discussion is slim, as they usually prefer to have more surface level conversations.

Great callouts here Lucas and Horsea! These individuals pride themselves in what I call "fake intellectualism," which is from everyone's innate desire to know about the world. The best thing that comes to mind is to show them examples, that they acknowledge, is immoral and corrupt. The key is that they must acknowledge it so there's a level of understanding.

Unfortunately, if they are not willing to admit this known aspect of reality, then yes, then it may be futile :(

I am not using a phone; I don't even have one. My computer happily "liked" all & sundry - and then one day stopped. Thanks anyway!
