Fuck AI

The problem is that the vast majority of people don't understand the tech or what it's capable of.

And for once, this is kind of a real "both sides" argument.

The pro AI side is delusional and think LLMs can do anything, or will "eventually". You also have a bunch of fascists pushing the tech because generative AI is useful for propaganda in a number of ways and they want to use it to make shitty media because actual artists have generally been anti-fascist.

The anti AI side is more right, but they still buy into the bullshit about what the tech can actually do. They also think AI is going to take all the jobs even though it fundamentally can't. They ignore that while some companies might try to replace workers they quickly and quietly reverse course and rehire people.

And I'm basically convinced that a lot of the narrative of how the average anti-AI person talks about it is driven by the AI companies because it helps them sell their lies about what the tech is capable of.

Also, both sides ignore that most of the reports of layoffs because of AI are just companies that are using AI as a cover to not freak out investors, but they aren't actually replacing workers with AI, just reducing the number and overworking the rest.
