There is the aspect of how AI works (unoriginal plagiarism, unconsentual data harvesting, intractable confabulation). On top of that there is the aspect of AI marketing (companies trying to fabricate demand for it, by gaslighting users into thinking AI is a breakthrough). And then there is the complex, emergent aspect of social affiliation: similar people choosing to segregate themselves based on the personal connotations that the previous aspects have for them. An author who chooses AI in this context doesn’t just accept the issues with the tech, doesn’t just entertain the marketing messaging, but also aligns with a specific sub-culture and with its values and norms. I personally found myself “vibing” more with the group of people who denounce AI. I hope that gives you at least a slightly interesting angle on it? Your other post is very spot on and the fact that you reflected on it gives you huge credit.
