Originality vs Convenience (Excerpt on Generative AI) | Vande Vasudhaivam
Architecture is a reflection of the human spirit, poetry is a reflection of the human spirit, painting is a reflection of the human spirit. And difficult though it is to admit, modern generative AI can now do all of that on its own. So the question is, do you want to live in a world where when you look around, the human spirit is nowhere to be found – not in poetry, not in paintings, not in buildings, nowhere! If not, then never trade in your originality for some two-bit convenience of AI.
AI Deception (The Sonnet) | Abhijit Naskar | Insan Himalayanoğlu
Anybody can be a singer using Autotune,
Using ChatGPT anybody can be a writer.
But I’m yet to find an AI that can compose,
Love thy neighbor, or love has no gender.
Yet the problem is, neither human
nor AI can detect AI generation.
The world is already being flooded
with soulless, deceitful creation.
In the midst of such grave misgivings,
Honor alone can bring illumination.
Before you place anyone on pedestal,
Observe character beyond the creation.
Even I use photoshop, to enhance my covers,
But the words beneath are unvarnished Naskar.
AI can be a great help if you know how to
use it honorably, so originality is empowered.

Statement on Generative AI | Abhijit Naskar
Just like Artificial Intelligence as a whole, on the matter of Generative AI, the world is divided into two camps - one side is the ardent advocate, the other is the outspoken opposition. As for me, I am neither.
I don't have a problem with AI generated content, I have a problem when it's rooted in fraud and deception. In fact, AI generated content could open up new horizons of human creativity - but only if practiced with conscience. For example, we could set up a whole new genre of AI generated material in every field of human endeavor. We could have AI generated movies, alongside human movies - we could have AI generated music, alongside human music - we could have AI generated poetry and literature, alongside human poetry and literature - and so on. The possibilities are endless - and all above board. This way we make AI a positive part of human existence, rather than facilitating the obliteration of everything human about human life.
This of course brings up a rather existential question - how do we distinguish between AI generated content and human created material? Well, you can't - any more than you can tell the photoshop alterations on billboard models or good CGI effects in sci-fi movies. Therefore, that responsibility must be carried by experts, just like medical problems are handled by healthcare practitioners. Here I have two particular expertise in mind - one precautionary, the other counteractive.
Let's talk about the counteractive measure first - this duty falls upon the shoulders of journalists. Every viral content must be source-checked by responsible journalists, and declared publicly as fake, i.e. AI generated, unless recognized otherwise. Littlest of fake content can do great damage to society - therefore - journalists, stand guard!
Now comes the precautionary part. Precaution against AI generated content must be borne by the makers of AI, i.e. the developers. No AI model must produce any material without some form of digital signature embedded in them, that effectively makes the distinction between AI generated content and human material mainstream. If developers fail to stand accountable out of their own free will, they must be held accountable legally.
On this point, to the nations of the world I say, you can't expect backward governments like our United States to take the first step - where guns get priority over children - therefore, my brave and civilized nations of the world - you gotta set the precedent on holding tech giants accountable - without depending on morally bankrupt democratic imperialists. And remember, the idea is not to ban innovation, but to adapt it with human welfare.
All said and done, the final responsibility falls upon just one person, and one person alone - the everyday ordinary consumer. Your mind has no reason to not believe the things you find on the internet, unless you make it a habit to actively question everything - or at least, not accept anything at face value. Remember this. Just because it's viral, doesn't make it true. Just because it's popular, doesn't make it right.

Chatgpt is Cheatgpt (The Sonnet) | Abhijit Naskar | World War Human: 100 New Earthling Sonnets
Download autotune and
everybody is a singer,
download midjourney and
everybody is a painter,
download chatgpt and
everybody is a writer.
This is not innovation, it is fraud,
and those who practice it, are
the lowest form of animals on earth.
Either do something original,
or expand on another’s originality,
with honor and integrity, but never
confuse plagiarism with creativity.
Chatgpt is cheatgpt,
Better do manual labor than lie.
Even onlyfans is more honorable
than content made by Generative AI.

Asking AI to tune your

Warning to the Spellbound (Sonnet from the future) | Abhijit Naskar | Brit Actually: Nursery Rhymes of Reparations
“AI is the white colonizer of the modern world, headed to destroy everything that is sweet, original and meaningful about human life. Unless you clip its wings while there is time, like the British empire, AI empire will bring back the dark ages, not light.”
“Warning to the Spellbound
(Sonnet from the future)
In our times we wrote our own literature,
In our times we wrote our own music.
In our times we wrote our own code,
In our times we wrote our own poetry.
Ours was the last human generation,
where humans shaped their own society.
The day you traded comfort for originality,
you forfeited the right to life and liberty.
Today you are nothing, you mean thing,
you are no more significant than woodworm.
You are just puppets to large gibberish models,
backboneless victims of algorithm addiction.
If you can still hear my voice, AI is still adolescent,
Once in control, it’ll erase all records of humanness.
We can’t yet treat human bias, ‘n here comes AI bias,
Abandon all non-vital tech, return to simpler ways.”

Robo Sapiens (The Sonnet) | Abhijit Naskar | The Humanitarian Dictator
Artificial Intelligence could be
the greatest boon in accessibility,
yet AI enthusiasm is exhausted in
grotesque plagiarism and pomposity.
Tech giants of today suffer
from the worst kind of handicap
of all, lack of human perspective.
Till you treat this common coldness,
all innovation is mere fancy gimmick.
Innovation has power to lift the world,
yet it has become toys of privilege.
Cyborg souls sell cyborg machines,
beastly grotesque and senseless.
Once upon a time in the future,
robovans will carry robo-sapiens,
apes advanced in feats of silicon,
yet degraded in feats of sentience.

Age of AI (The Sonnet) | Abhijit Naskar | The Humanitarian Dictator
Welcome to the age of AI, where algorithms
grow bigger, and minds get smaller,
where freedom is the new prison,
character retreats as cave dweller.
Welcome to the age of AI,
where deceit is the new creativity,
where hate is a human right,
malinformation is a legal industry.
Welcome to the age of AI,
where algorithms are still nonsentient,
but so are the people that use them,
mindlessness is trend of the new sapiens.
Welcome to the age of AI, where global goals
are still a dream, only more distant.
Prove me wrong – I beg of you –
Stand up and behave, a proper Sapiens!

Data is Power (Sonnet) | Abhijit Naskar | Azad Earth Army: When The World Cries Blood
Coming from a childhood passion for
electronics, initially I fostered a
favorable outlook on Artificial Intelligence,
but as further implications are beginning to
unfold, I’m developing an ominous distaste.
There is no question about the computational
capacities of AI, but humans are not equipped
to fathom, how to apply such power positively.
Then there is the question of instant garbage
generated by lazy prompts, passed as creativity.
It took 3 years of sweat and vision
for Michelangelo to sculpt David,
today AGI can do that in mere hours.
Does such instant cosmetic art have
any value! AI art is just fancy knockoff.
Human mind seeks understanding,
AI seeks data – lots and lots of data.
AI’s hunger for data is matched only
by the billionaire’s hunger for power.
How much power is enough power,
particularly now when data is power!
What’s the point of power and data,
if they just empower criminal behavior!

Terrorists and Thieves (Sonnet) – Abhijit Naskar, Azad Earth Army: When The World Cries Blood
Terrorists who manifested their destiny
on stolen land, are banning immigrants!
Thieves who built their AI empire, not
on public domain data, but on stolen
copyrighted material, are upset with
other thieves stealing from them!
More than the inhumanity it is
the hypocrisy that is so astounding.
I say astounding, but not really,
it’s just pathetic and disappointing.
It’s happening all over again,
colonizers are spreading their tentacles,
all the while being idolized as icons,
instead of being held accountable for
their ritualistic human rights violations.
Parasites live off the labor of humans,
and monkeys worship them as kings.
This is neither innovation nor civilization,
this is the jungle kingdom rebooting.
