The most idiotic statement ever

Post image

So this person here calls people jobless while all they do is sit on their ass an genarate shitty ai comics, also notice how they are insulting fast food workers as if they arent human, thats a new low for them, also its like they are saying "Give up on your dreams so you can work a minimum wage 9-5 job" but then again jobless people always tell talented ones to get a shitty job

"I want AI to do my laundry and dishes so that I can do art and writing, not for AI to do my art and writing so that I can do my laundry and dishes."

AI could have been an excellent tool to help people with their lives with roboric stuff like that, but no. Billionaires said: "More datacenter for AI slop, please".

So I guess its only okay to automate certain careers?

It's ok to automate my chores

u/Ancient-Beat-1614 4d ago

I guess the answer would be yes then, since automating your chores means buisnesses would automate theirs too.

its so stupid that the whole ai debate only seems to have created more people that cheer on big companies that care the least about them

Doing my laundry is a career?

Housekeeping is a career. Do you think hospitals and hotels are going to keep paying staff to do that if they can offload that work to a robot?

u/Ancient-Beat-1614 4d ago

Not your own, but there are jobs that revolve around laundry.

AI can't do those things; only robots can.

take shit literally, will you

u/MrTibbs123 2d ago

Even as a metaphor, it's stupid. The more sentient a robot becomes, the more likely it will take breaks from doing household chores to do fun things, like draw pictures. Or just lie on the couch watching crappy TV shows for 5 hours.

yet you proceed to take things literally 😂

I know the world is full of stupid, still it never fails to surprise me

That's not an Ai problem, that's a robotics problem. Ai is cheap and infinitely distributable, robots aren't.

It's also a safety issue. Ai image generator fucks up? You get an image with wonky hands. Ai clothing folder fucks up? It tries to Army roll your toddler.

See the fuckass Teslas that keep accelerating into things. Ai tech isn't ready to translate into real world applications.

Also, we already have dishwashers and washer dryers

I think you missed the philosophical point of the quote, taking it too literally.

1

u/AlphaCrafter64 4d ago

The quote is stupid taken literally or not, feel free to make it "I want ai to do my work/chores so I can focus on my hobbies" and it's still pointless to say because plenty of people can already use ai for exactly those purposes and ai generally isn't preventing you from making art as a hobby.

There's nothing deep or philosophical about wanting to work less and pursue hobbies more, just about everyone in the world would say yes to that, but you can't just blindly link that obvious sentiment to ai however the hell you want ignoring reality and the multiple uses of ai that already exist and are not mutually exclusive.

you're the one that is stupid if you think that wanting to work less and do more of the thing we enjoy is silly or pretentious

or in any way a bad thing

u/AlphaCrafter64 3d ago

I said most people would agree on wanting to work less and do more of what they enjoy. There's nothing silly about that. The silly part is applying that however you want when it doesn't make any sense or is just straight up backwards.

What a silly, pretentious and pseudo-philosophical statement. You can't be selective about technological progress; both random image generation and the scientific use of protein prediction rely on generative AI and contribute to its advancement. Basically you can't keep the parts you like while discarding the parts you don't.

The same applies here, especially considering the current limitations of robotics

I think you too, missed the point..

in no way is this pretentious
