It’s me, Sara. @yellowcardigan on the other site. Elder millennial/cis/bi/Chicago.

  1. While defending the luddite argument in Discord, I stumbled into this IMO succinct explanation for opposing generative AI:

    At every step in the process, it impoverishes us.

    AI impoverishes us at every step of the process: 
- data centers pollute our environment
- energy use drives up costs
- content theft robs creators of income
- the actual output is used to displace workers and depress wages
- using it harms our mental health and impairs our competence
- the flood of AI slop is damaging our sociopolitical landscape

All in service of making a worse product - and world - to enrich a handful of already spectacularly wealthy people
