Look, I’m not really one to care either way about the fucking thing. It’s a tool. That’s all I’ll say.
But normies (or at least a certain subset), now, are fucking obsessed with the thing. Like, it’s absolutely cult-like, with the usual slavish devotion, the complete unwillingness to accept any criticism, and, perhaps most importantly, a massive overestimation of just what the thing is capable of, and what it can do…
Stupid fuckers genuinely believe that they can have some version of “fully automated luxury gay space communism”, just because of the last couple of years of AI hype, and the fact that it can write better essays than their utterly pathetic selves can even come up with…
Like, fuck, I’ve even had teachers going on and on about how this brilliant device will “save us all, and allow us to be our full transcendent selves”…
The ignorance is astounding. The utter hype-following and clout-chasing is even worse…
Like, yes, the “creatives” worrying for their jobs can be annoying, but they’re nothing on the hype-cultists who have jumped on this bandwagon to the point of basing their entire futures on what they think this fucking system is going to do “for them”…
It’s like the first smartphones all over again, but somehow so much worse…

The locked down text stuff can just barely reach the level of Buzzfeed listicle writer if you don't ask it to be too funny and trigger Scold Mode. Meanwhile, the image stuff took a mere couple months to go from "huh this is neat" to generating Biblically accurate anime girls who are so hot it makes me wonder if I was ever attracted to real women as soon as the public got ahold of it.
