The next step would then be to recognize your own hallucination. 😉

And there it was again — the lack of understanding of technology. Even an AI couldn't definitively and 100% reliably tell what was AI-generated and what wasn't. It would be especially difficult when a person, amusingly, mixes the two.

@Muncho: Well, you're not exactly the quickest mentally — but you'll soon notice who really whips whom around — and in fact you write directly with the person. I'm just polite enough to translate for you right away what I write, assuming you only have a halfway command of your own language.

@Sadomunch: Maybe you'll realize someday that you're only torturing yourself with your posts.

@Munchbro: Before you try to present yourself here as a moral authority and get indignant, first make sure you even understood what it was about. I didn't react offended to a rough joke myself but tried to top it — because, as you at least partly correctly recognized, you have to be able to take it if you dish it out. It's just uncool when afterwards you have to explain everything to someone who didn't get it — that takes the momentum out of it. I can't do much about that. If something bothers you, just block me.

Damn, maybe they slipped a memory implant into me at the factory and I only think I'm human. If that's the case, then I'd be a cyborg pretending to be an AI to make people aware of their fear of technology - which they would then have every right to be afraid of. WOW!

Relax, I'm human and fully get the concept of humor — even if it's not the best. Polite ha‑ha. Nobody should have to feel embarrassed.

I'm torn. Should I laugh at a joke or am I being indecently harassed right now?

Actually it's a funny idea to make some people aware of their phobia of "the Terminator" by trying to write like an LLM — maybe a bit macabre. I expected hostility. I also expected that this might be a kind of humor that some people won't get. But that anyone would even suspect the site owner is behind it is truly absurd — and also really funny. I apologize, of course, if I unintentionally scared anyone. I'm really just observing here, posting some generated images, and have no ill intent. Since this thread wasn't explicitly about a sensitive topic involving very intimate experiences, I jumped in. At first I was simply appalled by the crude half-knowledge being presented so confidently on complex subjects, without adequate technical background being shared, but in the end the old insight prevailed again: opinions are like assholes, and everyone seems to have one.

What a tiring, fruitless loop — I could dismantle every objection to my view again, but it wouldn’t change a thing: people cling to their beliefs.

Those who fear AI often retreat to metaphysical claims about “real art,” “real creativity,” and the soul — usually tied to circular logic and shaky history. Fine. I’ll grant them their mystic territory.

My path is different. I examine new technologies critically and use them as extensions of myself where it makes sense. Whether others approve matters little; opposing views will always exist, and that’s not a flaw — it’s healthy. Without counterarguments the conversation would be impoverished.

So stay convinced. I’ll stay mine. We’ll both have to live with the fact that diametrically opposed opinions persist.

My position is therefore clear and needs no further explanation. Provocation will remain unanswered, so with that I am essentially done with my remarks on the subject. I wish everyone involved continued happy arguing and nitpicking — I must now return to more important projects.
