why tf is my mother, a harvard graduate, working on her SECOND MASTERS (?) telling me to use AI for everything? i told her itās inauthentic and she said āschoolwork is inauthenticā. what happened to the art of grappling with language? āthe ideas are mine,ā but language in itself is yours.
people need to start doing things they actually find passion in more. maybe then it will seem less of a chore to do basic fucking work.

A.I. used to make art cheaper and to avoid paying artists is abhorrent. Used to write speeches and summarize books reduces the practice and makes the accomplishment meaningless. It cheapens the process and provides no value. The way itās being advertised is nothing short of disgusting. Google aired an ad where a father uses A.I. to help his daughter write a letter to her favorite athlete. Why are you shortcutting time spent with your daughter, teaching her how to put emotion into words, helping her work through something challenging? Itās soulless dreck. Iām tired of hearing about it, talking about it and thinking about all the ways it can ruin society. Since corporations and industry insist on shoving it down our throat, I think itās (as always) our responsibility to demand better. The linked essay made me reconsider the use of it as a tool to expand, as you put it, as long as itās not used to enable laziness and shortcuts.

this is a pretty common one, but in my grad program there were people using AI to write papers/homework assignments/projects and then patting themselves on the back like they found some kind of life hack. they all graduated and have decent jobs but man was that a bleak omen of what education is becoming.

as if ai taking over jobs wasnāt enough, it must hijack creativity too. im approaching the last year of my college in what feels like a (losing) race against the development of ai, with the knowledge that in a year not so distant my degree will become obsolete. in times like that art is all we have left- but with the rise of (incredibly soulless and tacky) ai advertisement and design- iām not so sure about the stability of literally anything anymore.

iām so worried for the future. while i try to just live in the present, iām afraid ill never be able to really make it in any art, and it will just be relegated to hobby. iāve always been an artist, iāve been writing, and painting, singing, and acting since i was a child. thereās nothing i feel more deeply in my bones than artistry. there is nothing i feel defines me more, i am full of an insatiable providence to engage and really make something. i donāt care what it is, if itās music, or acting in films, or physical art, i an ordained to act as a vessel for things to be seen. but i understand, its not a career of value, or the industry is competitive, and it breaks my heart to think i may never be able to fully commit myself to it all.
already, i find myself making exceptions, applying as a film studies major, because it would be more versatile, but still allow me to work closely with those circles. if i canāt be within i can stay close. but i will miss it, sidelined, benched.
i guess iām in early mourning of a dream.
