I think I’ve spoken at length in other places about how I am a very staunch AI hater and covered everything I hate about how the tech is presented to us today. But I want to take a second to talk about how I became this way, because I wasn’t always like this! Oh no, I thought the whole “I fed the Bee Movie script into a bot and had them make a sequel” thing that perpetuated the early era of generative AI was…amusing, but easily ignored at worst.

    This is why–as I’ve been saying as of late–AI needs a do-over. As it exists right now, I don’t give a toss what good it can do, what practical benefits it has once the techbros move on to their next mark. I don’t care about any of it at all because AI companies botched the first impressions so hard by telling me consent is a foreign concept and I need to just roll over and submit, or I’ll be left behind forever.

    Not sure this is the right way to think of it, these companies in particular are your adversaries no matter how well or badly they are handling PR, and will always treat you with as much exploitation as they can get away with, there is no use trying to reason or negotiate with them.

      Yeah, they are about to remove the entire concept of personal computing, not because that is what consumers want, but because the companies can make more money that way, while already being the largest and richest companies in the world.

      They don’t care about anything but the line going up and adding more billions to their piles of billions. So when they decide upon an idea, that is what it is going to be whether the global population likes it or not.
