And i don’t mean stuff like deepfakes/sora/palantir/anything like that, im talking about why the anti-genai crowd isn’t providing an alternative where you can get instant feedback when you’re journaling

    • Burocratic nightmare

    GenAI can be kind of useful when you use it on purpose. But it will be used to make anything bureaucratic an even bigger nightmare. After sale customer support, talking to humans in a call center at least incurs costs to the corporation, with gen AI they can keep you in the loop forever for cents.

    Unemployment claims, immigration, disability pay, hiring are also all made worse by AI.

    • Devaluing human labor

    They are coming for our jobs. Or at least they making our jobs worse.

    • Waste of resources

    Energy, water, computation …

    I think this is one of the weaker arguments tbh.

    • Corporations get away with blatant mass theft of intellectual property

    • Destruction of social reasoning

    Science & academia already was in a bad spot with reproducibility crisis, fake/bad studies. Now this is automated.

    Instead of letting humans do creative work, too much attention will be taken up reviewing slop.

    This problem also exists in social and traditional media.

    People also put a lot of implicit trust in AI answers when the answer might just be based on a whitewashed shitpost or wrong for other reasons. With websearch it’s easier to judge yourself whether the source is to be trusted.

    • People letting AI control their lives

    This will be worse in the future when either companies learn how to manipulate datasets to get ahead (similar to search engine optimization). Or when AI companies will just straight up places advertisements in AI answers.

    • Destruction of human connection

    People replacing their human friends with AI friends and partners isn’t healthy.

      eeeeeh disability claim is already a nightmare without AI, they never have enough people for the amount of cases with new ones coming in every day. As someone waiting for my disability claim putting AI in the process can’t possibly be worse than what I’m going through already lol. it took them 3 months to send me a first update and it was to ask me some details about my past employment and nothing else. at worst the AI will deny me which a human will also do because they hope you don’t appeal, but i assure you i will appeal any denial lol

      And tbh i hate that i hate this AI-fueled loneliness epidemic i want to go outside and meet people rather than being stuck behind a screen talking with a nobody because everyone is abandoning human connection for a syncophantic robot
