Every comment section for my youtubers of choice now has people claiming their voice is AI generated. Don’t like someones opinion? Accuse them of using machine generation and their argument is invalid. Think their cadence isn’t right? voice model generated. Its now somewhere between an insult and a society wide insecurity complex.

Like you say, so many people are being driven crazy or trying to position ML use as a crime against humanity and a violation of the ‘sanctity of creativity’. These same people likely have middling conceptual ability, have almost no insight on advanced topics, and have actualized less generative potential than a basic neural network loaded onto a 10 year old fucking graphics card.

Its sad to say but most people i’ve met simply aren’t running on all cylinders cognitively. They spend their time doomscrolling, socializing, and trying to get by while knowing the bare minimum about anything they don’t have to. But they still want the ego that comes from thinking of themselves as higher beings smarter and more capable than computers in all aspects. We’re gonna have to get used to the idea that human intellect isn’t the super special secret sauce of productivity or creation anymore. Its something society is just gonna have to cope with and find ways to deal with as ML use becomes more ubiquitous and ML cooks even more advanced structures for running neural networks.

For now I appreciate the novelty of human generated content stuff with the “No AI was used to generate this content” warning but people can simply lie. It would be nice to be able to verify human creation somehow but that leas to the alternative of ask big daddy gubberment to ban AI or “prove human validation” and you know what that means. More restrictions and less freedoms for everyone.
