dude, i hate it here. wardogs content on yt is 99% ai thumbnail. random science content is half claude code animations(which is like, fine if you want to show something that's easier to do with coding like moving 100 items on screen following a logic) and saying it took "a lot of effort"...

and it's just a single page website that was oneshotted by claude and it could have been 100% done by hand. but i digress, what they're doing is content, and content doesnt require quality. it's just a shame the wardogs autistic fobbies using ai for thumbnails that are literally a screenshot + text

and it's mostly small channels doing this. larger channels, even if they use ai for the content, they at least have the decency to not make it look it came out of claude's ass.

it feels like nature taking its course with how everything related to promo/ad uses genai now, on yt, modding, small/local businesses etc long lost are the silly little paint pictures for something that was made by hand, now its all genai from top down, to the pit of 0 creativity and smarts

we're starting to see single user software and small business that refuse to engage with work adjacent to their business(like a restaurant that uses ai for their menus/website/etc). why bother to hire people if ai is there, why bother exploring a new hobby if ai is there...

i'm stating to feel like, using ai for your content/program is not the problem, but the absolute disonesty with other's people time and trust. like, i have nothing against the ai clones of photoshop poping up cause, 1: fuck adobe, but 2: are also clear that it was made with ai.

like I've been saying: dispassionate and scummy content creators and conmen have always been around and there's a lot of hate on AI just because that's what the discourse settled on and not because of what it actually is.

at the end of the day, ai is an amalgamation of stolen work. but, if ai were to be distributed for free, and it's output couldn't be copyrightable nor sold, people wouldn't be so against it, even with the stolen data. but since it doesnt work that way, we need to be against it as much as we can.
