I have realized a lot of posts on here mostly criticizing the data collection of people to train A.I, but I don’t think A.I upon itself is bad, because A.I- like software development- has many ways of implementations: Software can either control the user, or the user can control the software, and also like software development, some software might be for negative purposes while others may be for better purposes, so saying “Fuck Software” just because of software that controls the user feels pretty unfair, and I know A.I might be used for replacing jobs, but that has happened many times before, and it is mostly a positive move forward like with the internet. Now, I’m not trying to start a big ass debate on how A.I = Good, because as mentioned before, I believe that A.I is as good as its uses are. All I want to know from this post is why you hate A.I as a general topic. I’m currently writing a research paper on this topic, so I would like some opinion.
I hate the endless grift that “AI” exists.
As far as technologies that are called “AI”, it’s just like any other technology. The usage determines the value. Under capitalism all technology is used first and foremost to violently enforce capitalism. This has already become apparent.
For example, while I enjoy generated art (apart from the environmental destruction), it’s not the same thing as murdering palestinian children. The conflation of the two is grifter pseudo-science in service of evil.
