Spiritual Communities Using Ai
I've sadly just left my spritual community, 963 Tribe (in las vegas, nv) because of a lot of recent developments, but mostly because I finally snapped about their overusage of Ai. They have plenty access to artists and many, many people who could have volunteered to help them with certain aspects of things if they really couldn't do it themselves. But instead, they have used chatgpt for everything: from event descriptions, promotional images and material, posts and announcements, etc.
I started looking for another group to participate in plant medicine ceremonies and spiritual events. I found the Hummingbird Church in California and I was so excited... Until I realized that just like 963, all of their art on their website is also made by AI.
It doesnt even make sense. We could be having another Renaissance of spirutual awakening art, but instead it seems everywhere I look, everyone is just turning to the machine.
I've noticed that even the spiritual music artists I enjoy, like Good Vibes Tribe 11:11 uses ai images for just about all of their cover art. And they arent the only ones... i dont understand it one bit.
I feel like the rapid insane growth and usage of ai is making us less and less human, like a poison or perhaps better compared to the apple that Eve bit. But the communities I'd think would be the most aware of it are just as guilty of it.
Am I the only one seeing this as a problem? Am I the odd one out? Is it just that I'm looking in the wrong directions? What's going on?
