I made a meme

$That one meme from Invincible. A superhero labeled "some random guy with an acoustic guitar" watches some fighter jets labeled "AI music generators" and says "Look at what they need to mimic a fraction of our power"$

I know we’re all tired of being on Zoom, but some important Zoom etiquette reminders:

- everyone wants to see your cat

- don’t just say “my cat is here,” hold your cat up to the camera so we can see it

- when your cat is on camera, either say “cat” or type “cat” in the chat

Here’s the most incredible story you’ll read today. A small plane with four people aboard crashes in a field. Another pilot witnesses it. That pilot happens to be flying a bunch of skydivers. They offer to jump to assist, are given permission. The skydivers happen to be EMTs. Everyone survives.

Skydivers alert emergency crews, assist after plane crashes near East Troy airport

Four people were aboard the single-engine plane when it went down in a cornfield near Carvers School Road in East Troy at about 1:30 p.m.

If we take that at face value the next step is for the UN to pass a resolution declaring the makers of AI to be hostis humani generis ("enemy of humanity"). That would be the predicate under international law to treat them like privates, creating universal jurisdiction to capture and punish them. 🤷‍♂️

I get really annoyed seeing so many people say "Since everyone uses AI to write papers..." or "Referee reports now are just written by AI..." Look: Everything I have written has, for better or worse, been my own writing. Don't project your cynical expectations on my work. Seriously, screw gen-AI.

My challenge is to make them come to these conclusions without explicitly telling them, "you can't use it for that". Nobody wants to be told what to do, especially when the results often look good. Any suggestions?
