  • google (and other ad companies) keep a digital profile (or footprint) of all your clicks. so, for example, if you click on an ad for a fantasy book, they will save that you are at least interested on fantasy books, giving you more ads for that. in theory that might not sound so bad (“hey, at least the ads will be more relevant”) but in reality the amount of data that they store is incredibly invasive.

    by clicking random ads, the quality of that profile would go down, as it will no longer be your true interests, thus “messing with digital footprint”



  • there is a lot of nuance in the discussion, but a lot of people just want a quick black and white answer. you can use AI to supplement other artistic projects (like using AI to create images for a comic you wrote), so i don’t agree with the premise of the post

    but i also don’t agree with people who say that AI is just another tool. i think that it is a paradigm changing tool, that is going to make us have to rethink how we interact with art.
