Okay, this time I want to ask you, do you feel the same as me, or something similar when you enjoy what was created before AI? (lemmy.world)

When I read generated novels, I don't even feel bad, or rather, as if I'm reading something meaningless and empty. When I look at AI-generated memes, I just don't find it funny. When I listen to generated music I feel like it's dead. When I watch AI generated videos I feel sick, this is clearly for some kind of consumers.

And now I don't read or watch or listen to anything new at all. No, now I watch, listen and read old things and yes, I feel good sometimes I even cry understanding how I could not appreciate something so beautiful before.

Yes, I was once a consumer myself, but it always seemed to me that something was wrong, that everything was somehow not right, and when AI learned to create this fake art, I finally understood what exactly was wrong... There was no soul, there was only sterile garbage and now there is more and more of it. And AI makes it even worse. It is the worst invention of humanity at the moment, or one of the worst. Why is it the worst? Because such inventions always fall into unworthy hands, and I think it's time for everyone to admit it.

Well, now to the main thing, are you also now watching, reading or listening to old things in which there is not a drop of AI and sometimes even tears come to your eyes? Or do you just feel alive?

Reading ai work related stuff is not too bad, it’s quite often reviewed by a human anyway.

Watching ai stuff just fucks too much with my brain. It’s how a cat responds to the sound of tape being pulled ( for reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lo1FE_i_Zhc)

I feel physically nauseous when I watch ai content too long

The less human effort is put into a creation, the deader it becomes. Well, your nausea is not surprising, you can draw an analogy here with a beautiful dead man in a coffin of flowers, but this does not change the fact that he is dead and the longer you look the more sick you feel.

I get what you are saying. Is not what I’m experiencing though.

I literally get gag reflex like symptoms. It’s uncann, but in a more organic way.

First time I experienced this was with the Minecraft genai demo. It looks like mc, it plays like mc, but it doesn’t actually work like it. Whilst I was playing I had to look away multiple times. I think that my brain is expecting something else and just straight up errors out of there when it doesn’t actually follow the core principles. Ai videos tend to have this more often as well

I think the thing is that your brain understands that this is something artificial, just like people feel sick at the sight of blood or a corpse or just something dead or wrong even if it looks normal or beautiful, but as soon as you understand that it is inanimate or artificial, the brain turns on a defense mechanism, I suppose, so to speak, the brain is trying to distinguish the living from the dead, I suppose. I think it's called the uncanny valley effect.
