Creepy, offensive, dehumanizing
- echelon 4y agoMagical, limitless, empowering. I've never been so excited for our future. We won't have to spend 10,000 hours to get good at something. We'll no longer be required to specialize and be locked into our choices. I can't wait for this to pan out. We're turning into beings of thought, where expressing ourselves will be as easy as speech.
- stemlord 4y agoFair enough, I envy your optimism!
- _dain_ 4y ago>I can't wait for this to pan out. We're turning into beings of thought, where expressing ourselves will be as easy as speech. But who will listen to us, when AIs can speak better than we can?
- jamiek88 4y agoExpressing yourself doesn’t require an audience does it?
- flir 4y agoWere you around when the internet was going to bring people together in a more decentralized, democratic, and free society?
- nl 4y agoYou mean that time when how people appeared wasn't supposed to matter? Seems like this brings that closer.
- amelius 4y ago> I can't wait for this to pan out. The virtual world will look better than the real world. People will look better in the virtual world, and become afraid to show their real image. People will stay inside, behind their computer screens. Movies will all become like cartoons (because, in our daily environment people look like cartoons already). etc. etc.
- XorNot 4y agoSays the guy posting on a forum limited solely to text by choice. It's bizzare to write "this is the end" when almost none of us would be on HN if it so much as required a picture avatar.
- bawolff 4y agoPeople have been saying that all my life (magazines and photoshop give unrealistic beauty standards, etc). The world hasn't ended yet.
- djaychela 4y agoHave you got daughters?
- nhinck 4y agoCreepy and dehumanising I agree, but only offensive to my eyes.
