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?

    • because it’s “THE NEXT BIG THING TM”, like the metaverse, 8k tvs, cryptocoins, etc, thus being sold as the be-all end-all savior of humanity;
    • because many, many, many economy related reasons (nvidia, circular bubble, stupid money being thrown around nonstop, environment, etc)
    • because some people are 100% trusting the output, even when it’s easily unproven bullshit or it looks/works like shit
    • it’s a culmination of years and years of every internet user’s unaware or half-aware work, and now we’re supposed to be fawning over that shit
    • because it’s empowering bullshitters and scammers: it’s never been easier to create pieces of shit in the hopes of earning money out of it - websites, text, code, music, drawings, videos.
    • adding to the above, it’s making a bad problem exponentially worse, that of the “dead internet theory”. By 2021, before any publicly available “AI”, SEO shit sites and videos were already making life awful for anyone that wanted to find something. Nowadays, I would wager that over half of google’s top 100 sites of any given search are llm generated, 40% using old style SEO shenanigans that always manage to get the exact search term in its body.
