1638901933812375553 | @FlyingTrilobite We're fighting in the writing end of things, with the "Save the Writer!" petition asking for labeling of AI-generated books. Please spread the word! Thanks. https://t.co/j3EQv7B8CX #AI #writers | 1 |
1640704997913681923 | @DanSlott @FlyingTrilobite USERS create 100% of the actual content on twitter... and Twitter is going to start demanding that we PAY for that effort? | 1 |
1640352272151625730 | @Kelly_McKernan @FlyingTrilobite I want drawing pencils that balance up on their tips! Where can I buy these? 🤣🤣🤣 https://t.co/Gm8coKjGL7 | 1 |
1639725840991948801 | @DrMRFrancis @FlyingTrilobite Not so much, for example the AI of the shuttle wanted to keep them away from their planet when life on earth was possible again | 0 |
1639726209159372807 | @NecroKuma3 @FlyingTrilobite that specific AI still knew it was lying, though, and had good(ish) intentions. ChatGPT doesn't know it's lying since it can't distinguish between truth and falsehood, and has no intentions one way or another. | 0 |
1639726878813728768 | @FlyingTrilobite @NecroKuma3 You wish... It's here to enslave you. | 0 |

1640098591015305217 | @FlyingTrilobite there's a writer I admire who has gone all-in on AI "art" and I really need to have a word with him | 18 |
1640232753022074880 | @FlyingTrilobite I know who you are talking about and have experienced the same with others I used to look up to. I'm sorry. It sucks this is happening. | 15 |

1640704276547895296 | @Inkybat @FlyingTrilobite He might have a point for HIS artistic process, but to be painfully honest, the humans LISTENING to music won't care if he or an AI machine wrote a song that they relate to. I think A.I. will destroy artists trying to make a living, but I also don't think most people will care. | 12 |
1640000184296910854 | @FlyingTrilobite @sinKEVitch Without downloading any new pictures, where are you mentally? https://t.co/M6LbLJcP3G | 9 |
1641109276977692673 | @FlyingTrilobite That's what's driving me crazy with all the armchair quarterbacks telling me to post on Tumblr and "there's plenty of other sites". This is the place where I get the most casual interactions with consumers, not just artists or power users of whatever tech/site. | 8 |
1640136982973108224 | @FlyingTrilobite You're not alone! I dumped 3 of my favorite art youtubers of all time for the same reason, I don't regret it at all. | 8 |
1640473421321760768 | @MarianNature @Kelly_McKernan @FlyingTrilobite I'm more interested what art store he got that nondescript grey mass of art slag from! I really need one of those. | 7 |
