Blake X @originalblakex.bsky.social · 10/01/2026"You can use it for this, but not that. It can't be creative there." The audacity of these "professors." 030
BigNerdSam @bignerdsam.bsky.social · 09/01/2026gonna just link my commentary:BigNerdSam@bignerdsam.bsky.socialPro tip: if you think Generative AI is good at something, no it isn't. AI can't cry while cranking hog so it can't do any art at a qualatative level, only a quantitative level and even then it fucks up. If you need me to explain: I once saw an AI generate a hamburger when prompted for a hotdog. 030
LN @lususnaturae0.bsky.social · 10/01/2026Something I've grown to realize - creative people need to communicate and form more friendly symbiotic relationships. Would it hurt the screenwriter and the illustrator to collaborate? 'Hey, could you draw me some concept art? I'll write you a...' Not every form of compensation needs to be monetary 030

Dynamo Randomix @dynamorandomix.bsky.social · 10/01/2026I stink at making 3D stuff and I totally don't understand music theory at all, but I'll be cold buried 10m underground before thinking an AI can do that better than any modeler or composer, I have mad respects for artists from other disciplines even if I can't grasp them (yet) as a creator 0100
Mark Eichin @eichin.bsky.social · 09/01/2026Been calling it "Gell-Mann Amnesia-as-a-Service" for years... 030
Emily Vee @noobixcube.bsky.social · 11/01/2026I don't think it relies on the ignorance of the skill required, but the respect for it. People focused on one field have no respect for other fields and see the professionals in those fields as replaceable inconveniences. Mark my words: AI tutors, mandatory for every student, in two years. 120
Beepo @gibbon-goblin.bsky.social · 12/01/2026Algorithmic AI is only good for things like fucking looking at images of cat scans to identify subtle detailed signs of cancer or at photos from deep space to identify subtle detailed signs of this or that astronomical anomoly—shit a person CAN do but is extremely time consuming and menial 010

Gemma @gemma-babbler.com · 10/01/2026My screenwriting professor said absolutely fucking not to using Gen AI in our class. All of my writing professors have pretty adamantly stated that. What a slap in the face to read professors are encouraging people to use Gen AI like this. 050
unlearnable.bsky.social @unlearnable.bsky.social · 10/01/2026Which explains why guys who write software code believe it can replace everybody who can't think of anything worse to do than spend their lives writing software code. 010
TeaKo on her weirdo arc @teako.noodlebowl.org · 09/01/2026I'm glad my game dev education basically grinded it into my head that every single person on a team is invaluable, cause I saw genAI trying to replace parts of it and saw what happened. The animations feel weird, the art looks wonky, the level design is bland and the code. Uh, yeah doesn't work. 080

Netbug | Current Hyperfixation: Guardians of the Galaxy @netbug009.bsky.social · 13/06/2026Writers for comics/scripts and artists have always had this willingness to throw each other under the bus and it's so goddamn frustrating. I've seen comic artists complain about their writers getting the same pay as them. Not about THEIR low pay. Just about the writer also getting a living wage. 100
Sandeha Lynch @sandehalynch.com · 09/01/2026GenAI seems to be marketed towards folks who would like to or need to upskill but cannot (for whatever reason) while those who use it possibly cannot see how it effectively deskills and/or infantilises them. 214419
Idoia @ptraci.bsky.social · 09/01/2026Ha, my field is translation, one of the most often given to shitty AI replacements. And boy, does it make a mess of things. 32045
PokuPoku @pokupoku.shop · 11/01/2026yet, for some reason, every artist thinks ai art is going to leave them jobless, somehow. 000
dilutz.bsky.social @dilutz.bsky.social · 10/01/2026This is exactly right. I saw a list of professions likely to be killed by AI. Can't remember the entire list but on top was translators.

TK @msneonkitten.bsky.social · 09/01/2026Holy Eff I've been saying this from the get go. "Start by asking it questions in your direct expertise, if it can't answer those, then the likelihood it can answer things outside your expertise is likely just as bad." 🥰 0271

mjfgates @mjfgates.bsky.social · 09/01/2026Everything Elon Musk wears, sees, and eats should be created by genAI and 3-D printed or projected onto the walls of his living area. A month later, we maybe let him out to see the results. 130
Just another Ancient Swamp Witch @beckeegan.bsky.social · 10/01/2026I said similar to this a few minutes ago, that AI output purporting to be creative work... isn't. Because "AI is not a mind, there is no *imagination*. No empathy. No creativity." (I'd just read a paragraph in a novel and thought, "ooh, that's MY thought process he's describing.") 030
barlap.bsky.social @barlap.bsky.social · 09/01/2026If the quality of your art is mediocre at least, the bots won't replace you. 000
Spence @unaspenser.bsky.social · 09/01/2026Recently, debated with friends about whether AI could produce knitting/crochet patterns. (all attempts thus far have been failures.) Two people who had never done either craft ardently argued that AI could produce useful patterns. All who crafted said it could not. 1250
Fio ☾ ⋆*･ﾟ @fioart.bsky.social · 09/01/2026Tbh, baffling to hear that any professor would recommend the usage of genAI, especially in creative disciplines. The concept of academic honesty that is widely observed in academia forbids genAI use. 090
yeldnal.bsky.social @yeldnal.bsky.social · 09/01/2026It's dunning-kruger. The less you know about the topic the more plausible its output seems. 030
Rabies @raaybeez.bsky.social · 10/01/2026I'm an animation student and this is true. One of my professors said we could use ai to start a script they wanted us to write. They made it clear that it wouldn't be able to do the work for us and encouraged us to write over the ai results. But this take still stands imo. 020
kevinpaulconnor.bsky.social @kevinpaulconnor.bsky.social · 2hI'm an experienced software developer and it does what used to be my job as well as i did, and much faster. it didn't a year ago. my job is now evaluating its work and establishing guardrails. i encourage people in other fields to be open to how it could change your way of working in the future 001
That Old Broadbean @thatoldbear.bsky.social · 10/01/2026Omg reminds me of that but at the start of FAME! where every professor claims their discipline is the hardest with the most washouts. So incredibly duuuuumb 010
Petrock @sarifel.bsky.social · 10/01/2026I'm probably in one of the few jobs that can't be replaced by AI, because my job requires a physical human body to be moving around as a professional witness to goings-on around my site. A necromancer could replace me, maybe, but genAI can't. 120
Chitownhawkeye @avollme.bsky.social · 14/01/2026I think there was an old Dilbert comic (rest in piss, Adams) where the pointy hair boss said "I start with assuming anything I don't understand is easy". IMO that's what's going on. Everyone knows it doesn't work with what they do. 010

toomanymetalmen.bsky.social @toomanymetalmen.bsky.social · 09/01/2026I've said it can't do my job, because whether that's right or wrong is important. But jobs where quality and accuracy aren't important....... 010
Michael Fitch @fitchgames.bsky.social · 09/01/2026Great insight. It's exploiting a fundamental perceptual flaw that the work I do is concrete for me, while the work that you do is abstract to me - I see the results, but not the process. This also explains the over-adoption by managers and executives relative to front-line workers. 040
Jazzy Shaman @jazzyshaman.bsky.social · 09/02/2026For me... it's a big gray area. I don't advocate using ANY gen AI, but if you find already generated work online... I mean, I'm sure I've used AI images that popped in my Pinterest feed or Google search when referencing. Not intentionally. But with all art, use multiple refs. 000
NONE 🇻🇪 @non-e.at.app.wafrn.net · 09/01/2026GenAI is the panacea for the incompetent and mediocre. 181
Danny Says @danny-says.bsky.social · 09/01/2026💯 You've perfectly explained what drove me crazy about Ben Affleck's comments a year ago about AI. Basically arguing that actors like him won't be replaced because what they do is REAL art, but those visual effects artists? Well, they're lowly craftsmen, so it's okay if AI wrecks their livelihoods.youtube.comAI doesn’t stand a chance against actors, or Shakespeare: Ben AffleckYouTube video by CNBC Television 0100

mekochromatic.bsky.social @mekochromatic.bsky.social · 10/01/2026I think what they mean is that generative AI is good for anything where you don’t particularly care about the quality or content of the outcome.

chùi @seanccroberts.bsky.social · 09/01/2026As someone quite familiar with how genAI works, that being not quite my own professional specialty but very closely adjacent, it is not an appropriate or useful tool for almost anything, especially not consumer-facing applications 32694
Pudgypoultry @pudgypoultry.bsky.social · 10/01/2026Whatever area of work they see as "intern work" will be offloaded to what they see as the free intern.

Newtybot 🏳️⚧️ @newtybot.bsky.social · 09/01/2026They’re both correct in the sense that they’re only speaking to the total of their knowledge, when in reality all generative AI is only as good as its user.

CM30 @cm30.bsky.social · 10/01/2026It’s the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect, except for AI rather than journalism. The less you know about something or how to do it, the less you can tell how good someone’s work in that field is, or how much they actually know about the subject. It’s why everyone finds films about their work laughably bad. 050
cancelled-by-elon.bsky.social @cancelled-by-elon.bsky.social · 11/01/2026It shows a deep misunderstanding of capitalism. Probably the same crowd who thought vaping would only be used to help people off cigarettes. 000
M. W. Hall @dungeonmagister.bsky.social · 15hI try not to interact with AI at all because of this exact thing. I'll be a more knowledgeable creator if I learn to do it myself rather than trusting it to a machine who doesn't inherently understand what it creates. (Plus the ethical concerns, obvs) 100

Laura Laplace @lauralaplace.bsky.social · 09/01/2026I'd go further: it doesn't just rely on our ignorance of the skill that goes into things, but a fundamental assumption that what we don't understand cannot have much to it. Not just ignorance, but a cultivated unwillingness to be curious, or even charitable to the work of others. 0300

KORL: 🎨 Vtuber 🦷Comissions Closed: recovering from postpartum @korls-hollow.bsky.social · 09/01/2026It's incredibly common for people to addume other people don't work as hard as them.

wfrost @wfrost.bsky.social · 09/01/2026I’m afraid there is another possible - and more disturbing- conclusion to this awesome observation. Maybe AI can replace just about all supply in the eyes of consumers. And consumers won’t know whats missing until it’s gone. 1122
Blaze @blazemakesgames.bsky.social · 09/01/2026this is also reinforced in how it ends up playing out in any professional context. people think it'll be cheaper to use Ai to do something because they're not experienced in doing it themselves.

Moonchild Straver @wolfbeast.bsky.social · 10/01/2026People just need to realise that AI is a tool, not a replacement. Regardless of the area it is used in.

Mr French Fries @mrfrenchfries.bsky.social · 09/01/2026This is timely, not just as I forgot not to use work time to get the clinic physical I need for work, but as I look at Tumblr, a spearhead for “Give me validation for my aesthetic” rather than “Give validation to the people who made the work I’m ‘SHARING.’” Pinterest was for mom, tho 😏 000
Firedingo @firedingo.bsky.social · 11/01/2026It's also worth remembering while AI can replace people, it doesn't mean it's better than those people. AI can write code, I'm still routinely telling AI it's wrong and I'm not even an expert coder. Therefore I suggest we don't trust AI at all. 000
Catherine Berry @isomeme.bsky.social · 09/01/2026As Cory Doctorow has repeatedly pointed out, it doesn't matter that AI can't do your job. All the AI vendors need to do is convince your boss that AI *can* do your job. 3623
