A few years ago when I went to Adobe MAX, little did I realize that this would be the year in which the whole event would basically be this gargantuan circle jerk over the advancements of AI.\u00a0 I mean, fuck me for thinking that I\u2019d be able to go attend some panels and workshops and perhaps maybe learn a few things or tricks about the software I use on a regular basis, and not just listen to all these pitches about how AI is going to impact them all, feeling like one of the only clear-thinking attendees that saw that most everything was being developed with the intention to ultimately usurp all of our jobs in the near to distant future.<\/span><\/p>\n However, as big of moonshot ideas existed over the capabilities of AI, I knew what was more likely to occur first \u2013 a whole lot of fucking nonsense.\u00a0 Like, a metric containership fleet load of fucking nonsense, especially once most AI tools, apps and functions were made available to the general public.\u00a0 And it was going to be a matter of time before AI-generated content was going to permeate and eventually run rampant across the internet, mainly throughout social media, and then even more so than originally, absolutely nothing would be seen as genuine or authentic, and even more everything would be forced to be put in question on its authenticity.<\/span><\/p>\n I mean, we\u2019ve crossed that bridge quite some time ago now, but it hasn\u2019t been until more recently that it bubbled up in my mind to be worth throwing up some words onto the brog to spit my two cents out about the topic.<\/span><\/p>\n It\u2019s like, most everyone probably has a story about a person(s) they\u2019ve known in their lives that were the people who always latched onto a joke or a meme a little harder than everyone else, and well after the general heat of a joke has simmered down, they\u2019re the ones still spamming it, referencing it, and inadvertently assisting the killing of it for others.<\/span><\/p>\n Yeah, if you\u2019re reading this, you probably know what I mean.\u00a0 And it\u2019s okay to say if you\u2019ve been that person before, lord knows that I\u2019ve definitely been that person multiple times in my life.<\/span><\/p>\n What I\u2019m getting at is that AI has made it easier for people to become those people, who overuse and help kill jokes and memes faster, and frankly it\u2019s doing a disservice to the virality and general heat of a good joke or a meme, when looking back at something, and the sheer amount of bullshit surrounding them drowns out the original material from the onset.<\/span><\/p>\n For example, the Phillies Karen saga, when it first started, that shit was nuclear hot.\u00a0 A perfect example of a story gone viral, with it absolutely exploding.\u00a0 Video clips, internet witch hunting, just about every news outlet and op-ed in the world throwing their two cents into the well.\u00a0 But then about 2-3 days later, the memes began, first through just bad photoshops, but then came the AI-generated images, where the first few were clever and fist bumps for those who jumped on the horse early, but then shit rolls downhill real fast when every would-be comic on the internet that knows how to write an AI prompt wants to try and get their jokes in for whatever attention-seeking reasons.<\/span><\/p>\n Ghibli-fied images.\u00a0 Deep-fake videos.\u00a0 AI-generated scenarios of Phillies Karen in various other movies, shows or stories demanding to be given possession of X.\u00a0 Like, it\u2019s funny for the first two seconds, but as the heat cools off, the constant stream of bad AI-generated content ultimately makes people like me wish that the original source of the meme never happened, so that I wouldn\u2019t have to be subject to such bad abuse of AI tools to make up for the lack of creative talent that exists out there.<\/span><\/p>\n This is just one example of how AI is hurting the internet.\u00a0 Who cares about how easy it makes students cheat in school, and how it\u2019s acting like a miracle writer for people to lazy to do it themselves.\u00a0 Who cares about how it\u2019s able to take redundant, menial tasks and complete them in seconds, and who cares about the maybe 2-3 good things that AI has managed to accomplish.\u00a0 It\u2019s fucking with good memes and news and jokes, and this bullshit is the real lifeblood of the internet that perpetually bored scrollers and surfers need to get us through each day.<\/span><\/p>\n And because every motherfucker in the world has access to AI tools now, the amount of bad and lame bullshit content constantly overtakes anything real in a matter of time, and like I said, it gets to a point where you see so much turrible shit that you eventually wish the source of it never existed in the first place, regardless of how good it might be, in order to spare everyone from seeing lame shit.<\/span><\/p>\n As far as my opinion is concerned, the jury\u2019s still out on if AI is still going to really be worth it in the long run.\u00a0 I\u2019m inclined to lean no, since I see it more than likely impacting my career adversely before I prosper from its existence, but one thing I do know about it now is that it\u2019s polluting the internet with a lot of bullshit, which is pretty profound considering just how already full of nonsense it was before AI was made available to everyone.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A few years ago when I went to Adobe MAX, little did I realize that this would be
