I Remembered How To Draw Ghost. Had To Rizz Him With The 'tism. This Man 100% Eats His Smarties In Colour

I feel like Roach and Soap just drop horrific facts/stories over comms during missions

-

Just imagine Ghost sitting in the woods with a sniper and he just hears Roach go

“there was a girl in Germany who had a dream a crown of thorns was being put on her head and it turns out a fox was trying to eat her head while she slept”

No context. No follow up.

-

Price is monitoring comms?

“Eben Byers drank so much radioactive water his jaw fell off and he developed holes in his skull”

“Thanks Soap”

-

Gaz is trying to concentrate on anything

“there was a girl in india who got her whole face ripped off and they were able to put it back on”

“…thanks Gary”

Why is c.ai bad? Like genuine question

One of the main reasons you will see people giving as to why c.ai is bad is that much like all "generative" ai it's basically a copy/paste machine. The algorithm that runs c.ai is made by scraping the writing of millions of human authors in order to train the machine on how sentences and "romance" should be structured in order to appeal to the people using it. This is, by and large, just straight up plagiarism and authors like @/ceilidho end up having their content stolen by c.ai users in order to farm more bots.

If you don't care about the plagiarism aspect of c.ai bots then you should care about the environmental aspect of them. ChatGPT alone uses about 2.9 Wh of electricity just to run a single query, and the water used to cool the servers (again for just one question) is equal to about 3 16 oz bottles of water. Google reported their greenhouse gas emissions rose 50% in 5 years just due to ai use. 1 query can power a lightbulb for about 20 seconds, and every question is routed through a data center which uses even more electricity to answer the question. So you sending a chat to c.ai uses a massive amount of electricity, and for the bot to respond takes even more.

Not to mention data centers have to be built, which consumes a lot of resources and energy, and releases a lot of greenhouse gases. Then they have to be powered, which consumes more energy and more water, and releases even more greenhouse gases.

If 1 in 10 working US Americans asked 1 question every week for a year (52 x 17 million) that would use the same amount of energy that it would take to power EVERY HOUSEHOLD IN WASHINGTON DC (671,803) for 20 days. NPR reported on this as an "energy emergency" this is an unprecedented and explosive amount of energy being used very suddenly, very often, and by a lot of people.

Ok you don't care about that either, then let me appeal to you the person who uses c.ai. Maybe you love your favorite author's work and you really want to rp with one of their characters. Is the bot's ability to write that character really as good as the author's? Is it as satisfying? Or are you just caught up in the short-term dopamine rush of the rp?

Because I tried c.ai when it was first getting popular and let me tell you, it was nowhere near as good as the human role plays I was used to. There was no riffing, no plotting out where we wanted the rp to go, no standard reply length, I had to retry replies multiple times to get something even remotely close to something I could work with to respond to. There were filters, I couldn't use certain words or phrases. The bot couldn't remember anything past a few replies. It was BAD. The shot of dopamine I got after the first reply was gone by the time I was on the third one.

Now maybe I was just spoiled by good human rp partners, but I kept seeing people on tiktok complaining about the same problems. "How to break the c.ai filter" was a major issue. People wanted the experience of role playing or writing a fic, but they didn't want to put the effort into actually doing either of those things.

"Just let people enjoy things!" I hear you cry.

You go on c.ai because you're lonely, or bored, or because you think that finding a human to rp with is too hard or they won't like your scenario/kink/whatever. You are actively contributing to the expulsion of artists from fandom spaces and the destruction of the planet in equal measure. If all you care about is short term gratification, then go on the r/IWishIWasHer subreddit and read the rps threads there. If you actually want to roleplay with someone there are a million discord servers that do that. Hell, there are communities on tumblr that you could join and ask about roleplaying!

Relying on instant gratification will numb you to all the joys that creep towards you. If the only thing you can see is the object in front of you, then you're never going to reach for something better further away.

Not to mention none of your chats on c.ai are actually private, the server is scraping all your responses to have the ai send to other people. So if you're telling the bot some real smutty/embarrassing things that you wouldn't want anyone else to see, congrats on everyone else getting a piece of it.

my earnest hope for 2025 is that everyone embraces being a little weirder and freakier and less judgmental bc we will all be better off for it like to charge reblog to cast

one thing about kink is that its play pretend for freaks and i think thats beautiful

I’ve got somewhat of a strange question, why do writers hate AI chatbots so much? (Aside from the fact that it’s AI) Obviously AI art is bad, so is using an AI to write and then posting that writing as “your own”. That takes away from writers and artists. But someone using an AI chatbot just for their own personal use? How is that bad? I’m not trying to say it’s good, I’m just genuinely trying to understand why it’s bad, since so many people don’t support chatbots.

well i'm glad you know using ai for art and writing is bad.

i'm going to assume that, since you've acknowledged ai-generated art and writing are bad, you know how ai is trained to some extent.

that, in order to function, they're fed a metric fuckton of samples including copyrighted material, tv scripts, fanfiction, etc. with or (usually) without permission. those are just a few examples.

that the only 'original' work freely given to a chatbot is what people put into it, and that everything it generates is based on stolen work.

every time i see someone push the personal use angle, it reads like a cop-out, imo. it reads more like "is using chatbots still bad if someone is keeping their use of them a secret?" to me, using the puppy kicker 9000 in private doesn't make it any less of a problem. the puppy is still getting kicked.

anyway, some other tumblr posts about ai that you might find informative

instant gratification, instant gratification 2

how c.ai works and why it's unethical

energy use stats

ai + slave labor

Soap islike a little meatball to me.

it all started cuz they wouldnt let Ghost drive

it's a trap

something something johnny very seriously asking you to put him in a cock cage two weeks after his vasectomy because he doesn't think he has the willpower to not cum in you for 12 weeks and the cock cage was closer than the near empty box of condoms in the bottom drawer of the beside cabinet something something
