@veronica@explains.social The idea that “AI can do all that” is false. It cannot produce anything that is accurate, beyond the simplest levels of understanding. Try using AI search in a subject you know well. In my recent experience, AI “summaries” provided by search engines have misidentified the instrument played by a noted classical musician and have actively prevented me from finding a recipe I was looking for. If I want to find anything on Wikipedia, I now turn to the German and French language sites, which have greater detail and tend to corroborate each other, rather than the frequently degraded English language pages. The idea that this poorly designed tool can create anything of value would be laughable, if not for the tremendous harm that it is doing to the environment, to politics, to society, and to human psychology. Humans have never invented anything worse than this decadence in a bottle, this genie of stupidity, AI.
