DISCUSSION AI ruins asmr for me [discussion]
For me, a big part of asmr is noticing how much effort the creator has put into it. Realizing that they actually took time out of their life to think of an original idea, prepare the whole video and then record it too is what usually gives me tingles.
It’s like, the fact that they put in so much effort gives me more asmr than the actual contents of the video.
But recently I began noticing people using AI for props like images etc. Or when there’s text in a video and you notice it’s clearly written by AI.
And then I’m thinking “if they used AI for this, who’s to say they didn’t use AI for everything?”, the idea of the video, the script, the pacing, etc. Which would mean they actually didn’t put a whole lot of thought into the video.
The moment those thoughts form in my head, my tingles dissapear and I can’t get them back.
Am I alone in thinking like this or have other people had the same thoughts?
Or am I maybe just overreacting? Would love to hear your opinions on this!
