Social media is breeding a very dangerous type of person en masse, and it’s the type of person who is truly unintelligent, lacks any real comprehension, refuses to see nuance or apply context clues to any situation, but will speak with authority on things they don’t understand.
DJ Quik says AI is a total violation of culture:
"It's a total violation of culture. It's appropriation. You can't recreate somebody that's still here doing what they do.
Don't use my stuff because I know that computer is not gonna have my nuances. I watch AI programs on YouTube and they mispronounce words. It ain't human.
I'd rather have bad human material than good AI material. How bout that"
