    Yeah, I am quite firmly against “AI” as is being pushed on the consumer by the big corporations and OpenAI and so on, but these headlines tend to annoy me. I agree with you there.

    Every time something new comes out, there is a similar moral panic going on, and it’s rarely, if ever, justified (rock and roll makes you a satanist, video games make you violent and so on).

    If anything, I think it detracts from a bunch of other very valid points one can argue against the current generative AI, and makes the people who are reticent or opposed to it look a lot less credible when associated with this.

    That being said, as time passes and more and more serious studies about it come out, maybe a scientific consensus will emerge and will agree with this, in which case I’ll be happy to eat crow and add this to my long list of reasons why I don’t like these technologies. Until then, I’ll remain somewhat skeptical of those claims.
