  • At its core, conservatism is about “conserving the way things are”, or, in another way, being “against change”. Anti ai people are against the changes they’re seeing. I don’t know how else to describe this.

    Art is art, if someone has a fun idea and uses ai as the tool to express their idea, then it’s art. It may require less effort at the time of creation than other art forms, but this was at the expense of many people spending many hours developing the tools to make that happen.

    Just like every era of change, there are people out there pissed off because it’s different. People were upset that the printing press was created, because they felt it cheapened knowledge.

    Turns out I’m wrong. I went to look for a source for what I had said and there’s a common misconception that listerine coined the word for marketing purposes. In reality, it existed before they popularized it. The etymology section of the halitosis Wikipedia article mentions that specifically.

    Don’t remember specifically where I’d heard listerine made the word itself but I guess that’s a bending of the truth.
