AI Nonsense Replacing NFTs

Remember how silly and dumb the NFT fad was? In hindsight, I wish that had succeeded and delayed the new tech bro grift: AI bullshit.

We at Kotaku have talked a lot about how awful AI technology is. So watching it grow bigger than ever in 2023 was like watching a slow-moving train crash through my living room and into the homes of people I care about. AI is already taking jobs, making it harder for artists to make a living and filling the already-filled-with-garbage internet with more gunk. If you think Google results are bad now, wait until a year or two from now when most of the web becomes AI-generated articles, lists, videos, and posts.

It’s also annoying that every part of my life is now becoming infused with AI shit. Apps, websites, and more are all getting AI chatbots and generators shoved inside as the Zuckerbergs of the world desperately pivot from failed metaverses to something that might actually make them money. And then you start to think about how this will only accelerate global warming with the massive energy drain that AI generation demands and it all becomes really sad and frustrating.
