I come from a UCaaS and CCaaS background and I am very aware of how people act when they believe they talking to machines. GenAI is actively eroding the skills that are need to make human-to-human connections. A perfect GenAI cannot undo that moral corruption.
I agree with all the pragmatic reasons why gen AI is bad for us but you didn't quite convince me that it would be bad even if it's perfect at what it's for. The way I read it, you seemed to say that even when we think it's good, it actually turns out to be bad in practice, so I couldn't get a grip on this imaginary world where AI is perfect but we should still hate it.
Just to play devil's advocate, I'd ask: how much humanity is there in the jobs that gen AI will seriously replace? Either way, we're looking at a labour market that's structured to make rich people richer. AI is just another symptom of a more fundamental problem.
Needs more references to Sam Altman allegedly sexually abusing his sister, which would be very Horatio Alger of him. The total departure from reality that we are living through is pants-shittingly terrifying.
Finally I've found someone who can put the extreme unease I have about GenAI and AI as a whole into simple words.
Thank you Matthew!

I suspect he is with you too.
Wow - beautiful. I wish I had written anything as good as that!

Kind of disagree. AI used wisely adds a lot of value and it’s here to stay.
We need to learn how to write and code alongside it in ways that enhance and not diminish our humanity.
If you let go of intentionality and understanding you mire yourself in a swamp of slop you’ll never escape from.
But I’m going to keep asking cursor to “bro fix these typescript errors plz”
