Are you buying this?

 


I heard an AI rock rendition of 50 cents' "in da club" and it was amazing. Very entertaining. I would never have known it was fake if the content wasn't labeled as AI

When we watch a TV show or listen to the radio, or thumb through a magazine, these things exist to sell ads. Articles, skits, even music. Entertainment is a ploy to advertise things for sell.

What happens when everything is AI generated? The life will go out of the entertainment. We'll become featureless bots being mined for our financial resources by a landscape of empty, open, greedy hands.

In order to confront AI content we will need to see more live shows. We're going to have to be a civilization again, we're going to have to interact with each other again. The system is working against such activity by our insatiable pursuit of comfort and self indulgence. We can't sit back and let this autogenerated soulless content be piped directly into our minds through whatever our chosen media is. The junk food culture of quick entertainment offers a society-destroying satisfaction.

Liberty and Freedom

It is my belief people have died for this country for what makes it great. Freedom is great, but I think it goes deeper than that. Liberty is a freedom to be considerate, a freedom to be courteous, and a freedom to care, to look out for one another, to be kind, friendly, and understanding. Liberty is also the freedom to do the exact opposite of all those actions. Liberty gives us the opportunity to choose what type of Freedom we recognize. Were the heroes to have a preference, I can only speculate what they would choose.
