There are so many Ai slop children’s books.. some of yall need your ass beat
“ I want my kids to be so easy for me to manage , I am gonna feed their every emotional cheat code into an AI managed by random shadowy billionaires and moderated by underpaid tech workers so I don’t have to deal with the ick”
Early social media was medieval .. but baby we are in the Victorians / Gilded Age now . I don’t agree much with anybody lot of the AI boys but they are spot on about it being a sociocultural Industrial Age they just keep obfuscating what that MEANS
And ultimately Toni Morrison is right , because the distraction works , Gender scholars aren’t guiding minds or making scholarship their in meetings about syllabi being run through AI Black PHDS are doing Amazon shifts But hey documents are signed and posts are made
I realize that AI isn’t seductive to me because I like the mechanics of pleasure too much . I’m too inherently voyeuristic about process and consent to find a magic wish granting genie erotic It’s also why I dislike wish fulfillment as a writing style or trope
I do think it’s the media literacy or the lack of empathy or the AI that makes art so insufferable and everybody doing a version of Bean Soup Theory it’s a combo of all of that and a third thing You can’t enjoy or make good media if you can’t to see other people centered and happy .
