They steal your work, they dumb you down, they make your electricity more expensive, they take your water and your livelihood.

But at least you’ll get opportunity of a lifetime: information that according to one BBC study is likely to be wrong 51% of the time!

There's this story about how Thomas Jefferson designed his house to be a pre-electronics automated house. Everything was done by hidden slave labour. A mechanical turk in domestic form.

That's all AI is
Here's an essay by an african AI data worker about just that:

a comic titled 'things I like about analog art making. the 6 panels say 'a good deckled edge, chopping stuff with a guillotine, a well-behaved brush/pen line, using leftover paint and making something cute with it, getting some new paints or pens in the mail, finishing a painting and actually liking it.'

Confused about CSP prices? You're supposed to be!

Upgrading step by step can be either way cheaper or way more expensive than buying the newest version outright. My advice: don't buy PRO (its low-cost bait to trick you into spending more later). If you want to upgrade, here's the cheapest options:

genAI slop thumpers making craft "process videos" that not only use AI footage of someone making a leather bag or stain glass piece, but use stolen footage from actual artisans is probably the most pathetic thing I've learned

As you use AI to simplify easy yet mundane tasks, like writing emails, you get increasingly dependent on it.

You get lazy, less skilled, use your brain less, and (you may not want to hear this) get stupider as a result.

Don’t let them take away your ability to think. Stop using it. Now.
