I imagine the author would respond: "That's what I said"
"Opting out of AI is no simple matter.
AI powers essential systems such as healthcare, transport and finance.
It also influences hiring decisions, rental applications, loans, credit scoring, social media feeds, government services and even what news or information we see when we search online."
- mistrial9 1y agotech people often refer to politicians as somehow dumb, but big AI safety legislation two years ago on both sides of the North Atlantic, deeply dives into exactly this as "safety" for the general public.

- codr7 1y agoIf I was given the choice, I would without exception pay more for non-AI service.
- Gigachad 1y agoSome businesses have done similar. Some banks in Australia announced they will be charging a fee for withdrawing cash at the counter rather than at ATMs, other businesses charge fees for receiving communications by letter rather than email.
- codr7 1y agoAs long as there's a choice it allows the market to influence decisions. The big issue is forcing AI down everyone's throat without being the least concerned about their experience.
- lacker 1y agoIt's not even about paying more. Think of email. Every time you send an email, there's an AI that scans it for spam. How could there be a system that lets you opt out, but keep sending email? Obviously all the spammers would love to opt out of spam filtering, if they could. The system just fundamentally does not work without AI. To opt out of AI, you will have to stop sending email. And using credit cards. And doing Google searches. Etc etc etc...
