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?

Growing up in the age of photoshop, I didn’t really care as long as it looked good and the message made sense.

Pretty sure a great art work can be made using AI tools which sends a great message. We just have a lot of sloppy prompts at this beginning stage. Perhaps when it starts costing a lot more they’ll be more thoughtful of how and when they utilize AI.

What a joke... Okay, for you it is exactly like that, we are too different to understand each other, and I'm afraid there is no point in arguing, I'm tired of arguing already.

You ask if he agrees in your post, he gives an honest and normal answer, and you call him a joke? That's not much better faith than what you're complaining about.
