Not a ragebait post.

I started thinking why I hate AI and it's mostly:

  • It is pushed down my throat very hard for what it does;
  • The unauthorized use of content on the internet;
  • The worsening of the environmental crisis;
  • The content it generates is shit.

I am wondering do you have other arguments against it?

Good question! And a lot of nuance here in the comments!

I dislike how it's pushed on people. By bad people. And how it's all fake / fabricated and displaces stuff. I mean you practically can't google some things any more. Issues with a Samsung phone? There's now 30 pages of results with fake advice, and not a chance to actually find someone with the same issue and the solution.

And of course the really problematic parts. It's a speculation bubble, made up of pirated content, and these people are the worst of the turbo-capitalist charlatans. They shape the world of tomorrow. And it's a world with crazy RAM and harddisk prices, dirty energy plants, unsustainable economy, and Palantir working hard on bringing doomsday upon us.

Other than that, I think we're alright. I have zero issues with modern machine translation, image recognition, maybe even generative AI. It is kind of fascinating / weird new technology. Maybe useful for some things if / once they cut down on all the hallucinating. But yeah, maybe don't wreck everything there is in the process? And it should empower people. Not turn them into slaves.
