I completely agree with this take. GenAI is a project based on eugenics and colonialism, designed to appropriate culture and extract wealth. The poor will of course be most disproportionally fucked by this gross system. The rich can essentially pay to avoid it entirely.
There is a long list of problems with AI and fuck everything about it, but to go to the old classics of saying it was based on eugenics and colonialism is just batshit insane.
Just to be really clear: AI was not “a project”, it’s just a bunch of companies making shitty services with trillions of dollars in investments because of some new discoveries in LLM’s in the early 2020s making something new possible and people jumped on it as the latest IT fad. It will probably cause an economic crash soon due to the ginormous bubble it created and amongst the many side effects, yes, it may make people poorer and definitely destroyed the little good that was left of the internet. It attracted a bunch of unsavory guys, like always, like peter Thiel, who indeed would love to see a whole circus of sick facsist bullshit come to life, but the guy is insane and not a founder of AI. Having said all that, AI has shit all to do with colonialism or eugenics, ffs, don’t even try going there.
Yeah, this take isn’t really exclusive to AI either, luxury products have always involved the best artists and artisans. Generative AI is just exposing the soullessness that has always existed but was masked by underpaid human artists.
