This Geekwire piece about anti-ai movement being just like the anti-gmo movement really boils my piss. The anti GMO movement was non scientific and the reasons to reject the tech were always vibes. Whereas AI is entirely vibes and the reason to reject it are abundant and obvious - I don’t need to list them in this forum. Why did GMOs win the long game? Three reasons that map almost exactly onto AI-generated content. First, the product is indistinguishable. Nobody can tell whether the corn syrup in their soda came from a bioengineered cob, and after a while they stop wondering. AI-written prose is already past the Turing threshold for casual reading. Many readers cannot tell a competent LLM draft from a competent human one. Yes because LLMs are so great at telling stories l. They definitely don’t keep telling the same story about the same made up characters and locations. And they don’t produce hallucinations that keep getting people into trouble. Now the techno fascist billionaire class know how much we hate AI we shouldn’t be too surprised that the flags are out in force trying to spin anti-ai sentiment as an unjustified position for an educated people. We’re doing something right folks. Keep fighting the good fine.
