The more overworked people are the more willing they are to take intellectual shortcuts and not think independently. One of those shortcuts is to mistake a contrarian opinion as independent thought. Throw in a contrarian leader into an economy where people are overworked and this is the result.

Judging from the YouTube comments they are hitting their mark. Lots of people mistaking being contrarian for being independent though, like in the case of COVID vaccines and makes wearing.

Imagine being married to someone who is openly a Nazi and you are like: "it's not a deal breaker". And then your neighbors reward you with a political office.

So you are able to not be intentionally obnoxious. I honestly wasn't sure.

There's a difference between seeing and perceiving. If you see AI slop and don't see how it is different than something crafted by a human expert, that is a problem of one's perception.

  1. How Generative AI is framed by the industry is an affront to humanistic values.

  1. It's not even close to consciousness. For those of us who understand how these things work it's almost an insult to make the comparison.

  1. All the other unethical considerations mentioned elsewhere by others (stealing art, water usage, politics).
