@gisgeek@floss.social I get your analogies, though I'm afraid they might be failing you.
The #LLM tools today aren't like CGI or digital art or the introduction of television.
Your examples are are tools of the hand and of trade and media.
#AI tools are tools of the mind. They aren't just a support for thinking, but increasingly a _replacement_ for thinking, and this includes all the consequences that come from this.
We regulated the use of tools to avoid the bad behavior. Maybe do the same with AI?

@gisgeek@floss.social I think polls like these are useful for identifying where it would make sense to introduce a "Drivers license for #AI". Clearly, this tool is being used to hurt people today – in too many ways to list here. Does the few positive/constructive use cases weigh up against the damage that is done by #LLM tools today? Clearly not. And this is important because we don't live on our separate software/tech bubbles. We live in a society, together with everyone else.
