image description (contains clarifications on background elements)
Lots of different seemingly random images in the background, including some fries, mr. crabs, a girl in overalls hugging a stuffed tiger, a mark zuckerberg “big brother is watching” poser, two images of fluttershy (a pony from my little pony) one of them reading “u only kno my swag, not my lore”, a picture of parkzer parkzer from the streamer “dougdoug” and a slider gameplay element from the rhythm game “osu”. The background is made light so that the text can be easily read. The text reads:
i wanna know if we are on the same page about ai.
if u diagree with any of this or want to add something,
please leave a comment!
smol info:
- LM = Language Model (ChatGPT, Llama, Gemini, Mistral, ...)
- VLM = Vision Language Model (Qwen VL, GPT4o mini, Claude 3.5, ...)
- larger model = more expensivev to train and run
smol info end
- training processes on current AI systems is often
clearly unethical and very bad for the environment :(
- companies are really bad at selling AI to us and
giving them a good purpose for average-joe-usage
- medical ai (e.g. protein folding) is almost only positive
- ai for disabled people is also almost only postive
- the idea of some AI machine taking our jobs is scary
- "AI agents" are scary. large companies are training
them specifically to replace human workers
- LMs > image generation and music generation
- using small LMs for repetitive, boring tasks like
classification feels okay
- using the largest, most environmentally taxing models
for everything is bad. Using a mixture of smaller models
can often be enough
- people with bad intentions using AI systems results
in bad outcome
- ai companies train their models however they see fit.
if an LM "disagrees" with you, that's the trainings fault
- running LMs locally feels more okay, since they need
less energy and you can control their behaviour
I personally think more positively about LMs, but almost
only negatively about image and audio models.
Are we on the same page? Or am I an evil AI tech sis?

i hope this doesn’t cause too much hate. i just wanna know what u people and creatures think <3
I’ll just repeat what I’ve said before, since this seems like a good spot for this conversation.
I’m an idiot with no marketable skills. I want to write, I want to draw, I want to do a lot of things, but I’m bad at all of them. gpt like ai sounds like a good way for someone like me to get my vision out of my brain and into the real world.
My current project is a wiki of lore for a fictional setting, for a series of books that I will never actually write. My ideal workflow involves me explaining a subject as best I can to the ai (an alien technology or a kingdom’s political landscape, or drama between gods, or whatever), telling the ai to ask me questions about the subject at hand to make me write more stuff, repeat a few times, then have the ai summarize the conversation back to me. I can then refer to that summary as I write an article on the subject. Or, me being lazy, I can just copy-pasta the summary and that’s the article.
As an aside, I really like chatgpt 4o for lore exploration, but I’d prefer to run an ai on my own hardware. Sadly, I do not understand github and my brain glazes over every time I look at that damn site.
It is way too easy for me to just let the ai do the work for me. I’ve noticed that when I try to write something without ai help, it’s worse now than it was a few years ago. generative ai is a useful tool, but it should be part of a larger workflow, it should not be the entire workflow.
If I was wealthy, I could just hire or commission some artists and writers to do the things. From my point of view, it’s the same as having the ai do the things, except it’s slower and real humans benefit from it. I’m not wealthy though, hell, I struggle to pay rent.
The technology is great, the business surrounding it is horrible. I’m not sure what my point is.
