I feel the author routinelly conflates technology with technological implementations to make their point. For example, they conflate surveillance, with camera equipment and they conflate bridges, with city planning. What me and others are pointing out, is that we’re not hostile to GenAI as the technology (like cameras, bridges) but we’re absolutely against the popular (i.e. corporate) GenAI implementations. I feel there’s no harm whatsoever to use GenAI to personal gratification. Games, Porn, Shortcuts on boring but known tasks etc. But there’s absolutely harm to using corporate AI to do so, and there’s absolutely harm in using it for purposes outside of it (facts, propaganda, agents etc) And yes, any technology built in capitalist systems, will be inevitably corrupted from its inception from those systems. This is not exclusive to GenAI as a technology however.
