“AI” is a political project – I have also sometimes called it a narrative – whose purpose is the shifting of power and agency away from people and organizations towards centralized power structures. These centralized power structures are currently mostly a handful of big tech corporations and the “AI Labs” they keep shoveling money into. (2/3)

AI” is presented as the ultimate answering machine (or as Karen Hao calls them: “Everything Machines”) and through that logic separates us from any reliable connection to what is in the world: Where journalists and scientists try to create strong links to verifiable real-world phenomena and knowledge about them, “AI” creates something from nothing severing any link that might allow fact-checking and validation.
