    1. It’s theft to digital artisans, as AI-generated works tend to derive heavily without even due credit.
    2. It further discourages what’s called critical thinking.
    3. It’s putting even technically competent people out of work.
    4. It’s grift for and by techbros.

      Numver 3 is crazy too because it’s putting people out of work even when it’s worse than them, the bubble bursting will have dire consequences and if it’s held together by corrupt injections of taxpayer money then it’ll still have awful consequences, and the whole point of AI doing our jobs was to free us from labour but instead the lack of jobs is only hurting people.

        For 3, there are two things:

        • It is common for less good, but much cheaper tech to displace humans doing a job if it’s “good enough”. Dishwashing machines that sometimes leave debris on dishes are an example.

        • The technically competent people have long ofnet been led by people not technically competent, and have long been outcompeted by bullshit artists. LLM output is remarkably similar to bullshit artistry. One saving grace of the human bullshit artists is they at least usually understand they secretly have dependencies on actual competent people and while they will outcompete, they will at least try to keep the competent around, the LLM doesn’t have such concepts.

      1. It’s not theft
      2. PEBKAC problem.
      3. totally agree. This right here is what we should be worried about.
      4. yep, absolutely. But we need to be figuring out what to do when all the jobs go away.

        1. If vanilla ice takes 6 notes from the base line from a queen song it’s theft and costs $4mio. If AI copies whole chapters of books it’s all fine.
        2. No. PEBKAC is if it affects one person, or maybe a handful of people. If it affects whole sections of the population it’s systematic. It’s like saying “poverty is an user error because everyone could just choose to be rich”.
