Also, the point about people preferring the AI prose/poetry at the end . . . They’re probably bot comments, but yeah, the real people who do prefer AI writing is because it’s basically that same condensation/pornification of everything happening right now where people respond to signifiers in a thing rather than the thing in totality. I am deeply skeptical people are broadly conscious on the level we ascribe them and when you ask them something they’re prone to tell you some bullshit they just hallucinated in response.
Like, I’m not a big fan of hip hop. It’s cool it exists, I like some hip hop but I don’t actually know why this is. I can guess it’s because I like more melody-driven stuff. I can guess it’s because I don’t live a lifestyle that harmonizes with that kind of music or I wasn’t raised with it and thus it feels alien to me. But I don’t know any of that. So if someone asks my why I don’t and I’m not conscious enough to know that I don’t know, I can just hallucinate this long argument about the better musicality of metal, etc. etc. but it’s all bullshit.
A lot of the shit people say on the internet both isn’t true broadly, and isn’t even true to themselves, it’s just thought-reflex. Part of getting a new communist subject is going to be forcing people to be more conscious of themselves.
If spiders became loud I could imagine my anti-spider movement finally taking off.
