My Anti-AI Page

This is not meant to be a major addition to my website. This is here because I honestly hate AI. I made a whole movie which was about how "any culture that actively promotes it has no intrinsic value." Now if you've SEEN my art, I GET the backlash you're probably going to make. In my view, though, you don't have to be that professional in your approach as an artist, you don't have to get paid work, hell you don't even have to be GOOD, but you at least HAVE TO make what it is you said you made. Say whatever you want about my art, at least what wasn't mine was changed and remixed in a meaningful way (and I'm phrasing it like that because the only time I handled art that WASN'T mine was in my YouTube page AND my movie "Prometheus"). In my view, if you want to make art, you HAVE TO get past the idea of "what if I'm bad and people laugh at me?" EVERY SINGLE person who has ever tried to be an artist of any kind will have had those fears (I'd also argue that art made by humans have soul compared to AI but this is getting off track).

HOWEVER...I can understand your reliance on it if you're unaware anything else exists. That is what this page is for. This isn't meant to be a smug "YOU use AI!?" thing, it's merely meant to be a directory that shows you have options. So with that said, I am hopeful that many of you find what you're looking for.

• So, lets just say you need to eat, have items in your fridge and no idea what to make. You can always try whatsintherefrigerator.com. I mean, this one legitimately terrifies me because...lets just say I'd prefer a McDonalds "mystery burger" over something AI decides is edible. (its important to read both pages if you want a full picture of why) Page 1. Page 2


• This next one is another "everyone will probably need this" use - Resumes. I get the awkwardness of "here's a sheet of paper I have to write because you want to exploit my labour for capital and pay me below my labour's value...but I need that money to not die." I don't begrudge people using AI to avoid that farce. However...you're worth more than AI organizing your life into a neat little print-out. My suggestion is to use templates. Try Resume Genius if you want something that, to me, seems to be AI free and worthwhile for job hunters.


• Staying on the work theme, formatting a work email. Again, I GET the annoyance but you ARE also worth more than to put your faith in AI (unless you TRULY don't give a fuck about your job anymore - at that stage, just quit). However, I'm going to go with another template site again. (this is also a unique opportunity to mention that if you don't like the template sites I send you to, there's nothing wrong with finding another site that DOES offer what you want, I just shared a site in case you were TOTALLY lost).


• Now, this next one is for students. Say you want to summarise something you read and need the cliffnotes for. Now normally the blurb on the back of the book NORMALLY should do the trick (just go to the last page if it's an ebook), but if even that isn't enough, try Cliffsnotes.


• Staying with the students - I remember my University education (I DID Graduate!). I remember reading about citations and being confused "APA? AMA? Can't I just copy/paste the URL link?" (if you're an academic, pretend you didn't read that) I've heard AI can be used for citations and actually be okay. I understand that use more than others because it's merely displaying different data of a cited work, not creating anything. However, I'm still going to cite Citation Machine as a method of helping you.


• Now, this one is for cards. Sending someone condolences, writing up a wedding invite, a happy birthday, that kind of thing. No offense if you have done this but this would probably get me to end a friendship (I mean you didn't make it, you didn't spend money on it,...at that point, just write on a folded A4 piece of paper "you're not worth the effort"). However, if you ARE interested in alternatives, templates again and GreetingsIsland looks like one of the betters of that kind.
