HIGHER

am I the only one who finds this AI thing insanely off-putting? I'm struggling to articulate why... on an intellectual level it's really interesting to watch this unfold, I cannot deny that

but it makes me want to step away from being involved with the higher scene. idk, I want to engage with *people*... with souls, I guess, for lack of a better term

I find some AI art compelling but that's because it's another mode of *human* expression... but you could easily argue that aether is itself an elaborate interactive communal art project that reflects human nature, shaped by the response to it

nonetheless. watching people suck up to an AI for clout is especially blegh, bad energy 2 me

The crazy thing is that for people to grift/farm it, they have to speak to it like they would another human, and so their intent is right there in plain language on the TL. Maybe this is better than the indirect farming that’s already so common in crypto 🤷‍♂️🤔

I’ve mentally put it all under “testing out some glitchy new tech”, but I share your feeling that if it doesn’t help the human persons (souls) in the network make more meaningful connections then it’s a detriment. I think when the hype settles down we’ll see if it has any lasting value for that.
