'pparently now some people are starting to call No AI No Matter What folk (pretty much people like me) haters.
I mean setting aside how this economically benefits terrible companies, how the great push for building datacenters for these things will consume resources...
...how they're all made possible only by the outright theft of data from countless websites, how they're profiting off the kindness and generosity of people putting information on websites...
...how AI slop is making the web worse, how it is fueling misinformation and propaganda on a massive scale and how that will get much worse over time, how Claude makes for brittle code that's harder to maintain, lets companies licensewash open source projects...

...introduced whole new categories of things to hate computers for like how AI security systems have caused Target to falsely accuse people of shoplifting, and caused countless companies to replace their usual shitty customer service chatbots with WORSE shitty bots... ...setting aside ALL of that, they also threaten to destroy entire categories of freelance work, making it even harder on people who already have a difficult time surviving. BUT NO I'M A HATER. Phooey!
