Easy Way shares my view of AI

[chuft]

Except most people do have to work for food so they are using AI to make their work easier/cheat, which makes them stupider. Of course the end result is it will replace them and they will starve.

Many people everywhere are feeling pressure from their higher ups to "use AI" in their work so the bosses can say their organization is leveraging the latest tech to be more efficient, even when using AI makes them much less efficient.

It's sort of like a Hallmark holiday where Hallmark invents Mother's Day and does a sales campaign to pressure you to buy a fancy card every year, so you do in order to not offend your mother, and Hallmark makes money. The AI companies have done such a hype sell job that all executives feel pressured to have their organizations use AI, regardless of whether it helps, so they can publicly claim to be using it, and the AI companies make money.

That first link reminds me of how GPS reliance negatively impacts spatial memory. It seems any cognitive skill you offload to technology will decline.

I think this is what's happening to most people when it comes to AI

Composing is one thing and you can make use of AI if that is convenient. Saves time.

Making the music, the way you want, is a different thing. Especially if artists/bands want to play live. That is where they make most money from.
Playing real instruments, programming etc. to make your own style of music. That's up to creativity and that is so complex, it will take while (or never) before AI can figure that out.

This explanation is half true nowadays.

Yup and then ya have the bots. AI bots nowadays.

Rick Beato noted in that video that over 40% of the top Spotify channels now are AI generated music.

One of the few characters from Jurassic Park with any sense.

I don't understand how that's possible. I've never encountered an AI song on there that I know of. Normally I'll hear a song I like (on the radio, in a movie, out in public) and search it up later to add to my Spotify. I don't listen to their playlists. I also feel like people love to build their own playlists of relevant music when they host a party or something. Who are these people throwing on generic playlists full of AI music?

[chuft]

I suspect a lot of it is people streaming at work. That is why laid back stuff like all the "40s cool jazz" youtube channels exist. It's stuff you can put on low on your computer at work/in your headphones and it's not distracting from working. Similarly some people (not naming any names BJ) use youtube channel content to fall asleep to.

[BRBFBI]

Makes sense.

I don't think the website managers care about text created by bots and AI music. Bots/AI do the same as humans would do, create stuff. People still come to their websites full of bots text and AI music, and creating revenue for the companies due ads. Only the last part is they care about. It's all about making money.

The Era of A.I. Propaganda Has Arrived, and America Must Act

What sets GoLaxy apart is its integration of generative A.I. with enormous troves of personal data. Its systems continually mine social media platforms to build dynamic psychological profiles. Its content is customized to a person’s values, beliefs, emotional tendencies and vulnerabilities. According to the documents, A.I. personas can then engage users in what appears to be a conversation — content that feels authentic, adapts in real-time and avoids detection. The result is a highly efficient propaganda engine that’s designed to be nearly indistinguishable from legitimate online interaction, delivered instantaneously at a scale never before achieved.

While the documents offered no specific examples of these conversations, they describe how the technology develops personalized content. By extracting user data and studying broader patterns, A.I. can build synthetic messaging designed to appeal to a wide spectrum of the public. It can adapt to a user’s tone, values, habits and interests, according to the documents. Then it can mimic real users by liking posts, leaving comments and pushing targeted content.
