AI is a clear negative from where I stand. As of last week, there are two new AI enabled cameras in my building, that are connected directly to the police. One of my banks recently started using (a completely useless) OpenAI chatgpt, while lying to me that I am talking to a live agent. When Googling something, I now skip the first page of results altogether, because it's all unendings walls of AI generated garbage. I can't read Twitter, Reddit and many other sites now, because they want to sell the content to AI training companies themselves. Up to 20% of my time on the web is now spent solving captchas, that are used to 1) help train AI and 2) to protect from AI scrapers. AI sends all my useful email to junk folder, so I now have to check two folders instead of one. Creative people are losing jobs right and left because AI can produce shitty "art" much cheaper. And this shitty "art" is now everywhere, polluting my brain. AI uses enormous amount of energy and contributes to climate catastrophe. AI is actively used to kill people in both currently ongoing wars. Today's Guardian: China will use AI to disrupt elections in the US, South Korea and India, Microsoft warns.
