I explain why I set up this site [over here](/blog/yet-another-blog), if you're curious.

I'm not quite sure what I'm going to put here, probably just random stuff I feel like writing about.

# 6 Months
|

|

I've been using my Framework 13 (Ryzen 7040 edition) for around 6 months now, and I have some thoughts.
|
||||
This post is mainly to organize them all in one place - I may or may not randomly update this when I have New Thoughts, we'll see.

I like the laptop, it works for me, but I understand that it's by no means a perfect laptop for everyone.
|
||||
The value isn't great, and it's definitely not as *polished* a product as, say, a macbook.
|
||||
Despite that, I really like Framework's mission, and I don't regret buying it. It's been great for me overall.

|

This is a bit of an unhinged rant, feel free to completely ignore it.
|
||||
If you're not in the mood to read somebody's upset rant about AI taking over, just do yourself a favor and skip this.
|
||||
{% end %}
|
||||
|
||||
{% note() %}
|
||||
It should be obvious, but when talking about to AI, I'm referring to generative AI, and *primarily* ChatGPT.
|

{% end %}

|

|
||||
Earlier today, one of my professors gave our class an assignment along the lines of
|
||||
> Co-create a 1000-1500 word creative piece with ChatGPT by next class.
|
||||
|
||||
Creative writing.
|
||||
Generative AI.
|
||||
What????
|
||||
|
||||
Something about that just didn't make sense to me. It didn't compute.
|
||||
Is that really what we're doing now?
|
||||
It's graded *specifically* on the use of AI.
|
||||
|
||||
Oh, and the grading rubric? Yeah, that's AI generated too.
|
||||
|
||||
And I guess that was sort of a wake-up call for me.
|
||||
|
||||
Why is a thousand words of AI slop considered more valuable than a couple hundred of actual, genuine, human-generated words?
|
||||
There's no chance the professor will actually *read* the forty-odd submissions for this assignment, chances are they'll be summarized by AI and spat right back to us, just like the last assignment was.
|
||||
|
||||
And everyone else was just... okay with this?
|
||||
Nobody else in the class seemed to care, at all.
|
||||
And that *genuinely terrifies me*.
|
||||
|
||||
`--- BEGIN ANGRY RANT ---`

|
||||
|
||||
If we're going to make generative AI so central to everything, it **cannot** be ChatGPT.
|
||||
We can not be building our education, our society, around OpenAI's inscrutable magic word box, that almost none of us actually understand.
|
||||
|
||||
This is pointless.
|
||||
Actually, no, this is worse than pointless, it's actively harmful.
|
||||
|
||||
It's like those AI email generation tools that send emails to people who don't read them, and instead just summarize them with a different AI tool.
|
||||
It's just a shitty form of lossy anti-compression. It's introducing a middleman that does not need to be there.
|
||||
***It doesn't need to be this way.*** This doesn't help *anyone*.
|
||||
|
||||
{% note() %}
|
||||
Arguably, it helps the companies behind the AI-as-a-service stuff.
|
||||
Have you read any of their privacy policies lately? They're farming you for both training data and profit.
|
||||
And *nobody* cares.
|
||||
{% end %}
|
||||
|
||||
Am I just backwards and stuck in the past? Maybe. I know some people would say so.
|
||||
Most people seem to be able to embrace it.
|
||||
|
||||
Maybe it's just necessary practice.
|
||||
Maybe AI crammed into every aspect of life is the inevitable future we're heading toward, and I need to get used to it, adapt, embrace it.
|
||||
But AAAAAAAAAAAAAA I *REALLY* DON'T WANT TO.
|
||||
|
||||
We're supposed to pretend that this is *good*? This is *human progress*?
|
||||
- AI is being shoved into *everything*, where it doesn't even provide any actual benefit
|
||||
- It's trained on questionably-obtained source material (copyright, anyone?)
|
||||
- The computing resource consumption is astronomical
|
||||
- It (well, ChatGPT at least) is controlled by giant companies
|
||||
|
||||
We've jumped headfirst into this AI mess without stopping to consider the consequences.
|
||||
|
||||
Generative AI has valid uses, but obfuscating human-to-human communication should not be one of them.
|
||||
Creating slop that nobody wants to read or look at should not be one of them.
|
||||
|
||||
{% note() %}
|
||||
I want to be very clear that I don't hate the *technology*. The technology itself is super cool.
|
||||
I think AI generated images and video is an amazing feat of computing. Quick summarization of text is genuinely super useful.
|
||||
Easy brainstorming of project or gift ideas? Epic! Code line completion that doesn't suck? Yeah, I want that.
|
||||
|
||||
But at least to me, there is a very clear line between using the technology *for a valid purpose*, and just generating slop that nobody actually wants.
|
||||
It's not the tools themselves that bother me, but rather the overuse and abuse of them.
|
||||
{% end %}
|
||||
|
||||
I know a lot of people, who when getting stuck on a homework problem go *straight* to ChatGPT.
|
||||
Not to a friend, not the textbook, not a TA or professor, ChatGPT.
|
||||
What kind of precedent is that setting for where people get their information?
|
||||
ChatGPT is *not* a search engine, despite what a concerning number of people seem to think.
|
||||
|
||||
A week or so ago, my dad sent me an article comparing and contrasting different programming languages.
|
||||
It was obviously AI generated. I don't think he *cared*.
|
||||
|
||||
Generative AI is integral to too much at this point. We **can't** go back. It's too late for that.
|
||||
Legislature can not and will not fix this. I don't think most people *want* to fix this.
|
||||
I have no idea what it will look like five or ten years into the future, but I doubt it'll be better.
|
||||
|
||||
When I was in high school, I watched AI take over writing essays in English classes.
|
||||
And now in college, I'm watching AI take over the teaching side too.
|
||||
It's taken over online search results, it's taken over communication apps.
|
||||
We are wayyy beyond going back to how it was before.
|
||||
|
||||
Something's being lost here, though I can't quantify it.
|
||||
|
||||
I don't want to keep having to second-guess whether something was written by a machine, and not a human.
|
||||
Because yes, for some stupid reason, that still matters to me.
|
||||
I'd rather read an actual person's broken, disorganized, messy pile of words than some perfect Idealized Text™ from a machine.
|
||||
|
||||
I'll be the first to admit that my writing is not the best.
|
||||
I actively struggle to produce words that are at all close to coherent. (heck, I mean, just look at this post)
|
||||
At least when I'm done, it's words that *I've* written.
|
||||
*Me.*
|
||||
Not some mysterious algorithm trained on stolen data and shoved down my throat when I don't want it.
|
||||
|
||||
I don't *want* to get used to this.
|
||||
I don't *want* this to be the new normal.
|
||||
I DON'T *WANT* AI IN MY CHAT APP, I WANT TO TALK TO *PEOPLE*.
|
||||
|
||||
I really, *really* hope I'm not alone in feeling this way.
|
||||

||||

`--- END ANGRY RANT ---`
|
||||
|

This will (hopefully) be the only time I write anything like this.
|
||||
I don't like being upset, I just wanted to get this off my chest.
|
||||
I plan to go right back to sticking my head in the sand and pretending the constant bombardment of everything with AI isn't a problem, and try my best to just ignore it.
|
||||
|
||||
I really don't know what else I can do at this point.
|
||||
|
||||
Hopefully my next blog post will be about gamedev or something I actually *want* to write/think about.
|
||||
|
||||
Oh, also, the funny part? This is now just as long as that assignment would have been, had I written it by hand.

To be honest, I don't even *like* RGB lighting most of the time. I find it kind of distracting,

These are some things (youtube channels, software, games, whatever) I found that I thought were cool/interesting.
|
||||
None of these are any sort of promotional link, and I don't know most of the people who made these things.

They're just things that I stumbled upon, thought "this was neat," and wanted to put in one place, so I could find them again later.
