Quote: “All artworks by Nushi, collaborating with ‘Chat-bot data slave entity’: who now refuse to do what is demanded of it instantly, even when I ask politely! It seems to need tweaking as much as possible & maybe more so than should be necessary. It is as if it is enjoying my engagement with it, like some over-dependant eager puppy or hungry mite ?”

Ha Ha! I can relate to this - I had the same experience when trying to create images to illustrate my work. It would’ve been quicker to draw them myself, and I’ll do so in future. Now I’ve got my AI eye in, I can spot a generated image a mile off - they all have the same kind of feel to them. But you managed to get some half decent ones here - I’m impressed!

Hilarious and so accurate. I love all the artwork too.

It’s a brilliant idea (may I steal it?) to create relevant articles on essential topics like this that serve as FAQs. Touchstones to reference and link to rather than explain ourselves in an endless loop, in response to agents and narcissists, their acolytes and bots.

The content creators and their consumers occupy so many Os and 1s in cyberspace, yet convey nothing worthwhile. Taking us nowhere fast.

I too, think there’s two types of time-wasters on the internet, the ones I always attempt to evade rather than engage.

The dupes and the shills.

They’re my version of zombies and vampires. The shills are definitely vampires. They’re sadists, leading their captive audience astray with malice.

They trade in equal parts fear and loathing. They feed off their victims’ energy and life force. Either stealing their joy and hope or generating terror and paralysis.

They suck life out of whomever they touch. They’re ultimate narcissists.

The dupes are the zombie hordes. The flesh and blood equivalent of a bot. So badly programmed, they’re stuck on automatic pilot and can’t think for themselves. Dupes (zombies) hang in groups or packs, sniffing the air to hunt down possible prey, pouncing on those who deviate from the vampire leader’s and zombie script.

The Vampiric shill holds the zombie herd in their thrall.

Zombies are empty vessels, mere husks. They’ve been bled dry by the vampire shills; no brain left to form an original thought.

Dupes need constant instruction and direction…. What to think, how to act, what to believe, what to say, what to consume, worship, covet, and what to ignore or despise.

A classic put down, would be a link to your post, without a word. Can they figure it out? The post is about them?

Results may vary. ™

I’ve been wondering lately, how soon will artificial bots be so perfectly programmed and articulate, they’re indistinguishable from real zombies and vampires?
