I find the technology interesting but AI as a social phenomenon has been abhorrent.

I think most of us here have a similar view. Plagiarism machine is accurate, but that’s what a Google search looks like to someone from 1985. Not that I don’t prefer getting linked to information sources rather than getting incoherent slop.

I’ve not hated using local image generation to mock up ideas or turn around a private joke meme with friends. I have hated every advertisement bombarding me with nonsense buzzwords and leaders at work not understanding the technology. But I’m not an artist or writer whose work is getting chewed into a machine that gets all the credit. And I’m not a woman who could be blackmailed (or at least be robbed of agency) by fake nudes. Machine learning is a power tool, unfortunately people are just bastards.
