Fuck, i’m a robot?
I’m 14 and this is deep
DAE phones bad?
I mean, they are. It’s been shown pretty conclusively that smartphones have made people more stupid by decreasing attention spans, putting misinformation on the same level as verifiable fact, manipulating your buying habits, ruining your sleep with blue light, creating more anxiety in youth, and generally being a waste of time. Productivity apps peaked on PC and the scant amount of actual work you can do on a smartphone takes much longer than it would on other platforms.
Still, the post is pretty r/im14andthisisdeep
Ahhh yes, the old “reading on paper is big brain individual, reading on phone is mindless.”
Same with “communicating over the internet isn’t real communication.”
I’m not saying that there aren’t problems with how much we’re communicating over the internet and how little we’re communicating in real life, but the vast majority of humans in history would have considered the ability to send text messages to someone on the other side of the world in less than a second to be reserved for the gods above.
For real! This is like saying “telegrams are destroying our youth” back in the day.
Sure, real human interaction has value, but the ability to text someone on the other side of the planet instantly and have it translated is a huge leap forward not brain rot.

AI has the free time to study and be artistic. Not us. We must pay to exist.
What rent does the AI pay? Nothing.
No internet bill, no transportation bill, no phone bill, no food bill, no Healthcare/insurance bill.
AI also isn’t studying or being artistic. It has no real awareness of the concepts it’s seemingly learning, at least not yet. AI as of right now is basically just statistical analysis of human-made information and art and predictive modelling of how a human might respond to a given prompt.
AI as of right now
AI for the forseeable future
No need to mince words. Far too much of this terrible hype surrounding it is built on pure speculation of a future that we have no hard evidence is approaching. Just bold claims by people financially invested in selling the hype.
Someday, if it can sustain itself, it would need to pay for a living.
Right now, someone wants to have an AI. The person pays for it like a pet. But its too expensive, so it needs to give something in return.
We will see if it really benefited the energy costs and internet costs for those Companies who use intense amount of resources for AI.
internet and housing do cost money for those running the model, as does the “food” (electricity). healthcare is achieved by taking it behind the barn, transportation is unnecessary, as are phones.

I literally cannot believe how much this says about society
This one really makes ya think
We live in a society!
Every time I see something like this I’m reminded of Plato recording Socrates’ whinging that books are destroying society and no one can remember anything anymore.
Damn smartphones, ruining society!
Damn internet, ruining society!
Damn computers, ruining society!
Damn VIDYA GAMES, ruining society!
Damn TV, ruining society!
Damn radio, ruining society!
Damn Newspapers, ruining society!
Damn 2 piece swimsuits, ruining society!
Damn books, ruining society!
Damn clay tablets, ruining society!
Damn language, ruining society!
Damn alphabet, ruining society!
Damn humans, ruining society!
Damn society, ruining society!
Looks at the world’s mental health issues post smartphone…
Smartphone or social media?
I’d say that’s more to do with dropping stigma leading to better/more reporting rather than smartphones being some major cause of mental health issues. I’m sure they do cause some issues, but probably not much more than any other vice
And there’s a lot of things that were just straight up not recognized.
People bitch about how there’s “more” ADHD, but when I was a kid, the prevailing knowledge was that girls don’t have ADHD. Cue the meteoric “rise” in cases.
(There’s a million other things I could’ve used as an example but I used ADHD because I wasn’t diagnosed until I was 36.)
Look at the world’s mental health pre smartphone.
This ain’t nothing new.
Can’t stop the developing, but i miss old time sometimes

We are training AI so they can “draw” Wow!!!
everyone keep focussing on the using phone part and missed the part where the humans are still doing menial labor while the robots are doing what people would do to enjoy themselves.
while the robots are doing what people would do to enjoy themselves.
and for the specific purpose of increasing profit margins of media companies who no longer have to pay artists and writers
If generative AI was merely a computer science endeavour, the 1% wouldn’t be investing this heavily in it.
It’s not like the machines understand what they are reading.
Not yet
Phone bad!!!
But you can read on your phone
You could. But instead you’re doomscrolling on the fediverse.
In my, and I’d say most of our defense, I do learn a lot on here. And I’m not on here anywhere near as much as I was on Reddit.
sounds to me like they’re actually hopeposting, which is the opposite of doomscrolling
This doesn’t need to be picked part to be appreciated
