We'll wait and see how that goes.

from a group called Gossip Goblin on Instagram. It has short videos depicting a dystopia of mankind progressing toward doom through economic and technological disparity. The masses are sold AI interfaces of coveted experiences and paradise. It's really well done. Most of the writing is very good.

say it's better quality AI slop than most. He works with different people at times, but he's in charge, and his "creativity" is AI-enabled.

He - Zack London - is a hypocrite who's getting attention now mostly because of his use of unethical tools trained on all the intellectual property the AI companies could steal...but he still wants to maintain ownership of what he considers his own intellectual property:

as far as that sort of endeavor is concerned. I do think it's a fad. It's a kind of Hallmark version of dystopian writing.
A.I. content creators will go the way of craft brewers with rude edgy names and can artwork on their 4-packs.

Great animation and great storytelling is still being created. A.I. is trying to be the privately controlled water supply of creativity.

I am reminded of a film/animation teacher I know, who often can't get past the production of something, and will constantly stop and rewind something HE thinks is funny or interesting. Like he made me watch Woody Allen's Zelig, while he rewound parts "I didn't get." God, that was brutal.

But yeah, I hear you. I ain't mad at GG though.

Don’t know if he’ll call it Satan, but more and more it seems like that to me.

And the capacity of AI's learning algorithms to mimic independent thought in a real world situation doesn't even reach the consistency and capacity of training a kitten.
Don't get me wrong, coding a machine to do something and using a LLM are useful for repetitive tasking and general knowledge search.

I mean, honestly - Computers or "AI", (along with Robots) in science fiction were always assistant augmentation. Cyborgs or enhanced humans/animals were the godlike creatures.
But when it comes independent intelligence, the robots or created machine typically did not evolve into human-like awareness with preferences and actual complex personalities.
On edit -
Make no mistake, what Tech Bros really want is a compliant version of the Blade Runner androids; short lived, replaceable TradWife/Stepford Wife style sexbots and Rutger Hauer looking cloned security bots to follow their every whim until they get bored.
They're still just clever monkeys trying to control their environment. They just forgot that intellectual evolution requires cooperation and more diversity within the community hierarchy.
And that without community or diversity, all species just die out. No "Singularity" can save us, until there can be a several independentcomputer model that can simulate the lifetime of an organic African Grey or Corvus brain function and the different traits and personality at the very least.
It isn't our mathematical intelligence that makes us "human".

It's our independent conceptual thought processes, our ability to say to ourselves"What If" with no trigger or reason to react to anything. There's no survival, evolutionary, or logical reason for anyone to come up with Quantum Physics, or to even conceptualize it. No reason for us to "improve" ourselves that much, and certainly not to try to destroy ourselves... Not now, or not in the past.

... sounds suspiciously like AI chatterslop. It's magician's misdirection, but on a much grander scale, intended to lull the listener into apathetic indifference even as the AI bros pick everyone's pockets and quietly deploy impenetrable legal barriers that prevent any attempts to curb their depredations. There are already lawsuits over their brazen expropriation of Intellectual Property to train the AI chatbots. I recently received a letter advising me that some of my work may have been hijacked for that purpose, which allegedly makes me eligible to join a class action suit. Even if the suit were to prove successful, the payouts to people like me would likely be pennies, while lawyers bale their share without trying to count it.
Pardon my cynicism, but I'm nearing the end of my 79th circumnavigation of Old Sol, and I've got the scars and bruises to justify that assessment.
So there. Now get off my lawn!

It’s probably already true. Take refrigerators for instance.

wipe it out and start over

... and decided it was some kind of road map to the future.

They probably think they are going to be the heroes of this story and not the roadkill.

Maybe they should work on that instead of bothering us with their dystopian wet dreams. I have a cat that is probably measurably less intelligent than a human yet he lives a life of leisure with all his needs met and the only work he does involves burying his poops in the litter box. He may be less "intelligent" while actually "smarter" than me.

I know it's Babel, but never mind.

and Icarus's wings didn't hold up, either.

A fools errand that guy is on.
