If JK Rowling herself doesn't separate her art from her transphobia, and has said she sees every Harry Potter fan as a fan of her transphobia, and uses every dollar she makes to fund transphobia, I need people to stop insisting they "separate art from artist" because it's beyond disingenuous atp

Have been banging this drum for a while. Shitty AI cat videos are not the same thing as the genuinely incredible work going on in medicine and elsewhere.
i think we should separate the terms:
AI: science fiction stuff
Machine Learning: niche useful stuff done by scientists
LLM: obsequious chatbots built on mass scraping Reddit threads

part of the reason i am genuinely irritated with the gAI/AGI cult is because there is real societal benefits in using ML techniques in medical care + weather analysis, and instead people get annoyed with anything that gets lumped in with the plagiarism machine

The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them
A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.
