kay sorry if this is too edgy to scratch but i read many an edgy rant as a 9 year old in this website. part of growing up i say. dear scratch team, we do not need llms built into scratch. i logged into my scratch account a few months ago and saw that not much had changed since i first joined in 2016. sure, maybe there are a few more of those mass-produced corporate art style platformer games that i remember started popping up towards the time that i left the platform, but it surprised me how similar everything was in such a rapidly changing world. since covid the world has become more chronically online. not the old kind of chronically online, no small communities of online friends hanging out on forums or deviantart (or scratch!) or maybe even in trashy roblox obbies. but not the kind where it's like "escape skibidi toilet labubu 67" cos i don't even remember what they used to be themed around but it was not that the problem is everything became more centralised and it only benefits old billionaire cishet white men. nothing against old cishet white men, but yes, something against billionaires. there are people who every day just have to try not to die of malaria or starvation or other things that could be prevented thousands of times over with just a teensy piece of elon musk or sam altman's wealth. also, you guys in the US especially are done for. there's literally wars going on right now to distract from the fact that a certain individual *cough cough* won't mention who, is making the richest 0.001% of the population richer and everyone else poorer. and that 0.001% is probably gonna stimulate the economy or something but i don't give a rats because stimulating the economy is going to involve destroying the earth in some way or another. SO AI AM I RIGHT so one thing i have against this is AI right now is it's just SOO consumerist, idk what the AI companies are doing to convince literally every to put a useless chatbot into their bruh it didn't save i wrote a bunch more but it's gone now. oh well doesn't matter i don't care enough to finish it because humanity is going to be gone soon anyway. main points: - please don't align yourself with the AI companies they suck - we don't need AI in everything, usually it's not even that helpful - ai psychosis??? leads people do die in ways not appropriate for discussion on scratch??? - ungodly environmental impact - ethics of training data blah blah blah - AI ISN'T EVIL. DON'T BE DOGMATIC. the people encouraging its use are prolly are though
