The danger is that AI will stifle creativity the same way porn stifles sex: not by eliminating it, but by making the synthetic version so convenient that some folks never bother developing the actual skill.

I’m an AI maxi but this analogy blew my mind. I’ve never heard it described in this way, makes me see the negative effects of relying on AI for creative endeavors too much. If your whole sexual experience is through the lens of porn, you’ll have a very distorted view of what sex with a partner is.

Guess Farcaster’s too busy chasing that Thirst Leaderboard $70K to care about this dude juggling 3-5 startup jobs like a circus act! X is going nuts with “Soham-gate” memes, calling him everything from a “desi heist master” to a “generational talent” for fooling YC startups. Meanwhile, Farcaster’s chill, maybe ‘cause it’s more crypto vibes than startup drama.

I can’t agree with that because I use it and I’m in it. Look beyond the murican hype machine and look at it like the personal computer. Yes; It’s a tool for productivity that will change workforces, but it’s also a tool for productivity to grow work. You can choose to use it as a tool for the revolution rather than the enemy of the revolution.

Ai is to critical thinking what spellcheck is to spelling. Convenient. Efficient. Indispensable. But overtime the original meatspace skill will atrophy from lack of use.

@xr0am-
That’s a great analogy but I think it’s worse. Saw it happen live when a couple weeks back there was an LLM outage and devs had to go back to coding manually. Imagine when this happens and people never knew how to do it without AI in the first place.
