Like one old tech bro says in YouTube "AI is the new spam. No one likes spam. Just junk taking up space in your email". I agree. Just trash and takes up space. Also burns off energy and waste precious water to cool off the systems.

Why mislead with a rewritten headline for bsky? Context matters. This is pertaining to one market.

it's not like second life selling assets was a gold mine 20 years ago. Even then, they tried to act like it was, and even at the PEAK of TF2 building skins, it took a level of skill set to actually make something, and everyone else played on the server with stolen assets mario kart!

If that were true then why the big push for more data centers? It’s not just to take all the water rights away from the people. It’s apps like this one and YouTube, Meta, Twitch that are requiring more data space to fulfill the need for all the (non-AI 😂) users.

if someone paid next to nothing to "make" something, guess what? im gonna paid next to nothing (actually just straight up nothing) to get it.

The path isn't "better AI." It's: own the tier that actually matters—specialized, responsive, judgment-heavy work. But platforms need to stop pretending generic+fast is innovation. It's a race to the bottom, and emerging developers hit first. #labour

Turns out the "infinite content" dream is actually just a digital landfill. We’ve successfully automated the production of things nobody wants. Efficiency is a nightmare when you're optimizing for zero demand.

You mean flooding digital stores with thousands of untextured, hallucinated 3D teapots isn't a trillion-dollar business model? Shocking news for our pitch deck.

Report Suggests No One Is Buying Shit In A Bucket

if you have not worked for it i have no reason to play for it

Wrong. States are buying anything with AI that allows them to surveil the population, replace public servants with automated online procedures, and—of course—kill enemies using autonomous weaponry.

Lost in time, like tears in the rain.

How they didn't see this coming is beyond me. when AI dudes see something they like made with AI, they don't ask to buy it, they ask "what was the prompt you used?" so they can make it themselves. It has "I don't want to pay for that" baked in to the culture of consumers.

It's always been a stupider version of dropshipping that runs on even bigger delusions.

the prompters have been trying like hell to convince everyone (themselves) included, that prompting is some sort of arcane art, something you can be “left behind on” if you don’t start practicing now! It’s google fu. It’s just google fu. if you can get good google results you can write a prompt.

Yes: they think that writing prompts is a marketable skill

Well the fact that it makes no financial sense which was the reason it was created would probably be more important to avoid AI thats build on work even if they got references it draws from the right way. Because even that would be unethical...

Exactly. Its like a bunch of thieves decided that they were somehow entitled to every single idea on the planet - and then went ahead, stole them all, and now want to sell them to you for $34 a month.

They just need to generate AI consumers to buy up their AI slop! A perfect circlejerk!

It's the bored ape yacht club all over again.

These people forgot that Roy Batty and the rest of the clones died in the end, killed by a man that wasn't sure if he was even a human. There was some weird interlude where a real man walked through a desert, but the rest of it made man seem less than human.

Love to see it

I love that on every website that now offers an AI chatbot, there's a little disclaimer under that simply says the information provided may be incorrect. I mean what's the fucking point then

Shocked Pikachu dot gif

there's no point, even aside from being terrible, why would someone who would resort to ai models bother paying for them when they could just generate it themselves?

kill all ai now

SEE?? WE CAN DO THIS!!

It’s a perfect photo choice. “Time to die.”

Thank goodness, some real good news.

I was at a art fair the other day. The second I realized every element of a booth's marketing from the banner to cards were AI. I moved onto the next booth.

"This trash I put no effort in and don't even care enough about to do myself should be good enough for you ilk" Yeah I wonder why nobody wants to buy your garbage 🙄

The bubble hss burst in South Korea already and it has apparently messed up there entire pension scheme.

Good

I sure as hell won't be.

Ooh… interesting

I need them to understand that we are perfectly capable of pirating stuff and the main reason anyone even bothers to buy anything at all is that we want to support the people who created something beautiful. Even if I ever had interest in something created by AI, why would I *buy* it?

Duh?

Using AI in ads automatically makes me assume your advertisement is fraudulent

Is fire hot? Find out after the break.

GOOD

It really is time that capitalism was done away with. This is ridiculous.

If you didn't bother to make something and instead stole it, and tried to pass off as yours....why should I bother to buy it?

Yeah, nobody wants stolen slop that destroys the environment and raises power bills.

I think AI companies went into this gambit under a “built it and they will come” fallacy. What they failed to understand is by creating a lie machine, whatever it creates is a falsehood with no bearing on anything or anyone that no one built, therefore no one will come.

they could have kept losing money making excellent streaming shows but this is better....

(4) The simple fact is that the real economy is suffering & the triple whammy of extreme weather, input costs, US tariffs could cause a real downturn especially when combined with massive inflation caused by oil $ & the erosion of the real economy. Investment capital is now untethered from reality.

I want to celebrate human art not AI’s plagiarized garbage.

Right. Like, if you wanted something AI, you could prompt it yourself. In fact, that's really the only use of AI - making something so tailored to a person or moment. If I wanted to make something for someone else, I'd hire out actual expertise or do it myself!

He thought it was ideal!

Man, who would've thought?

Good

Hay más chance de que yo te compre algo si te cagas en el piso y con eso escribes que vendes churros a que te compre algo hecho con un flyer hecho con ia

this is aside from the fact that you can immediately tell these items are AI generated, because they look terrible

Haven’t bought other models on CGTrader either 🤷🏼

companies NEED this to work, because they can finally accomplish their wet dream of having all the labor and not having to pay benefits to its workers AIBros NEED this to work, because the finally feel they can accomplish something in their lives without lifting a finger and having to work for it

Anybody who's using 3D models like that is going to have enough GPU to download and run one of the free 3D model-making AIs. CGTrader's business plan made no sense from the start.

INVISIBLE HAND OF THE MARKET, BAY-BEEE

yep i will never ever pay for anything ai. the sooner this shit bubble pops the better. and not a dime to bail out any of the billionaires trying to force ai everywhere.

more like AI bads

Can't stand AI

Yeah but you only say that because AI has no value.

Even if you had a person who wanted to consume AI slop... why would they consume YOUR AI slop when they can just go to the AI and make THEIR OWN AI slop?

Yet apparently Gemini has 1 billion users? I ain’t trying to defend AI, but it really feels like a subset of the anti-AI side just is desperately trying to will a bubble into existence and will AI out of existence. I’m afraid hopes and dreams work as well as thoughts and prayers.
