Currently the comments section has one thread and you can probably guess what it’s about. (Hint: the post concludes something about the average SI pedophile)

Oh hey it’s a rehash of the pedosmile maddox post from a billion internet years ago.

It’s 2025, “My Immortal is bad” is a stale-ass take. Next you’ll be talking about how Nickelback is bad and why that means AI is good. Please at least be interesting

When you look at something made by a human, even if it doesn't seem to have any conscious intention behind it, it has multitudes of context encoded within. Think of the cerulean top scene from the devil wears prada.

Robocontent, generated from static, lacks all of that context. If I look at it and interpret it as meaningful, it is that act alone that gives it meaning, not anything done to create it in the first place.

When it comes to robocontent, I ironically react like a robot from westworld. I look at it, but it doesn't look like anything to me. It has no meaning. It's just noise, a page of static.

I suspect robocontent fetishists look at all art as static. They don't understand that there is intention behind art. They are fundamentally incompatible with human experience. They are disconnected and insensitive to the creative world, and that's just sad.

On one hand: all of this stuff entering greater public awareness is vindicating, i.e. I knew about all this shit before so many others, I’m so cool

On the other hand: I want to stop being right about everything please, please just let things not become predictably worse
