Okay, this time I want to ask you, do you feel the same as me, or something similar when you enjoy what was created before AI? (lemmy.world)

When I read generated novels, I don't even feel bad, or rather, as if I'm reading something meaningless and empty. When I look at AI-generated memes, I just don't find it funny. When I listen to generated music I feel like it's dead. When I watch AI generated videos I feel sick, this is clearly for some kind of consumers.

And now I don't read or watch or listen to anything new at all. No, now I watch, listen and read old things and yes, I feel good sometimes I even cry understanding how I could not appreciate something so beautiful before.

Yes, I was once a consumer myself, but it always seemed to me that something was wrong, that everything was somehow not right, and when AI learned to create this fake art, I finally understood what exactly was wrong... There was no soul, there was only sterile garbage and now there is more and more of it. And AI makes it even worse. It is the worst invention of humanity at the moment, or one of the worst. Why is it the worst? Because such inventions always fall into unworthy hands, and I think it's time for everyone to admit it.

Well, now to the main thing, are you also now watching, reading or listening to old things in which there is not a drop of AI and sometimes even tears come to your eyes? Or do you just feel alive?

I don't think for me its just ai. I sorta stopped liking anything made in modern times at some point. Not exactly sure when but like the last new type of stuff that I went out of my way to see is like the original avengers arc movies and by endgame I was really just coasting on momentum, legion, first season of doom patrol, titans, american gods. Basically around the time of covid but just before. I have been excited by some things but enjoyed only a few. The boys and invincible are like the only things since 2019 I have liked that I can think of.

Well, I also think that the point is that most movies and the like are sterile and boring, and also harmful to the correct and safe content for consumers and people with fragile psyche, etc. But content like "The Boys" is controversial, but it usually has a lot of realism and dirt, which you won't find in sterile projects, I think that's why you liked it.

If anything I liked "Terrifier" especially the third part it was such a thrill especially to look at people's comments like: What are you talking about, this should be banned and the author should be put behind bars, he broke my psyche! Although there was a warning not for the faint of heart but who cares about warnings...

So you will find little good stuff because it is banned and the authors of such things usually have problems later, so few people take the risk and create something worthwhile with dirt and realism.
