How do you keep from being depressed about AI? (lemmy.world)

A pretty daily thought for me now is "there's no point to this, AI can do it in 1 second, and no one cares" when thinking about doing anything art or programming related. Pretty much anything we do that is on a computer is totally useless now, and companies will probably be firing us all in 10 years or less if you aren't a manual laborer.

The worst part is, I could be tricked by AI even now. The thought of hearing a song i like, and then finding that it's AI, makes me physically sick. But 99% of the population wont care one bit.

I pretty much try to ignore it all, and I figure I'll shut off the internet and enjoy my collection of physical art that I know was made by humans. It just really sucks that we are going down this path and it's going to utterly destroy us. And no one seems to realize how bad it's going to get.

Once a year I just poke at ChatGPT and try to solve some not so common task with it.

I'm a Linux user, last time I tried to forward a MIDI stream to Minecraft with the help of ChatGPT. On Pipewire, Java won't pick up any MIDI sources by default. I was going back and fourth with it for around an hour while it was trying to make me install software for different audio servers and was very confident that this is the correct way. When I get frustrated enough, I do my regular searching routine. In this case, 10 minutes of searching led me to this:

modprobe snd_virmidi

I literally needed to modprobe one driver. Java starts to see Pipewire's MIDI bridge after that. Experiencing this once in a while makes me very confident that this thing would be extermely toxic for anything I do.

You can also ask it about something you are an expert at. The amount of stuff it gets wrong is insane.
