THIS is what will cause the bubble to pop. Not the ethical or environmental concerns, much as I'm loathe to admit it 😩
The people saying "GenAI/LLMs are here to stay like Photography or Sewing Machines!" always forget that those things made EVERYBODY'S lives easier. Not SOME. Not MOST. EVERYBODY'S.

Generative AI is also causing me more work as a college professor, in teaching, research, and admin work.
So far AI is causing me more work.
One of my main responsibilities is to use a database to find certain things. This database used to have humans look at the webpage of a thing and then write a description.
Bad AI descriptions have led to an increase in false positives I need to sift through.

The reason debate is useless is you can't lose a debate unless you want to lose.
The argument doesn't matter if you decide you don't want to accept it. We're not Vulcans. We're not soulbound to Robert's Rules of Order. People can just say "Yeah, well fuck you I'm right."
And quite often, they do.

The idea that you will NOT be savaged if you post AI art is also laughable
There's such a weird series of nested conflations going on here.
Like, it seems that Alice wants to use AI to do art... so that she can post it on the internet for clout and praise, and Bob's advice is bad because beginners don't get praise and clout, but get nasty comments for being beginners?

for all the discourse about the nuance of what "AI" means or whether the tech is here to stay, there's a real simple filter for whether it's good or not:
do artists get paid to do creative, inefficient, meaningful work?
everything else is downstream from that really easy-to-solve problem

The corporations and CEOs are all "everyone's using AI!"
Meanwhile, no one ACTUALLY is, but they can't help themselves from jumping on to the latest hype train their peers have, while their audience and customers are telling them "don't do this very very very stupid thing, you idiot!"

“Love it or hate it it’s here to stay” is a crazy thing to keep saying about a technology. If people don’t like using something it doesn’t have to stay we’re not talking about bad weather here

This is the paradox: the "AI" bubble is based on hype. It's not about creating useful things. It's about hype to inflate stock.
If the public resists the hype, then line does not go up.
So they hype harder and harder, repelling most people with their hard sell tactics.
It's a downward spiral.
