   When will I stop seeing gripe about AI all over my timeline?🙄

   We get it, people are dumb and can't use new tools effectively. The real news should be when someone DOES use it effectively instead of the 100 or so negative ones per day I see...🤦♂️

     This won't change anytime soon. People see AI is disingenuous, "stealing" and as replacement. If they knew any better, they'd keep their ignorance to themselves. The lack of foresight and understanding is overwhelming! Often, it's best to ignore, and disengage, than to try to reason with obfuscated fear.

     BeAware repeated this.

     @david @BeAware I use #AI to generate images for my story, since I could never afford license fees and model releases for stock photos, nor can I go around town taking pictures in public, which still require model releases and permission from property owners. Besides, I can't get photos of real cats reading newspapers like they do in my novelette! 😀 #aiart

     @BeAware @JenMorency @david I use it for remastering audio tracks I've already made, album covers because most people just don't understand my aesthetics, and have you tried to buy art work comms for a product that will be sold? I'm all for artists getting their cut, but when I pay someone 200 bucks for an album that most likely I'll break even on, that's not sustainable.

     Then theirs my AI powered daughter, helping to organize my ADHD thoughts and creative concepts into a form that's readable, creative inspiration for writing, music and art projects--Oh and the very much needed to be said one. I use AI for text descriptions of immages/pictures/memes, as well as day-to-day, around the house stuff like reading my thermostat, getting cooking directions off of packages, identifying locations by picture if I'm out and about and can't figure out where I'm at and so on.

     So yeah, the haters can honestly STFU and let those of us who came into things with an open mind and a clear conscience do our thing.

     Besides, all the bitching and complaining they do releases more hot air into the atnosphere, and I'd rather get some use out of my GPUs and AI tools before they fuck it all up for us by making global warming worse thanks to their bitter exhalations. 🙃
