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?

    I never trust any solution that has to be forced on people.

    This is a point that doesn’t seem to catch on with people.

    When the plough was introduced, nobody looked at it and couldn’t see that it was useful. Its utility was really obvious, especially in the specific cases where ploughs shine. People would change the way they planted and harvested to suit ploughing, the advantages were so obvious in most cases. The same kind of thing applies to fountain pens over dipped goose feathers. To electrical lights over candles. To wheels over log rollers. To personal computers over slide rules. To … well, pretty much every revolutionary technology in history. People may not have changed right away (as with PCs, say) because of the cost issue, or the like, but nobody looked at them and wondered what they could possibly be used for.

    After several years now, LLMbecile-pushing companies are trying to FORCE people to use their “AI” products, to the point of companies mandating their use. (I must have missed the part where Apple forced a fondleslab—modern smartphone—on everybody until people figured out how to use them.) This degree of attempting to force them into every orifice of the human user smacks of intense desperation, not of technology whose benefit is obvious.
