Miriam Suzanne wrote a great post that is largely about how readily and easily people ignore the harms of the current crop of AI tools; how frustrating it is to listen to people bend over backwards trying to come up with some way to actually use these things. It’s poignant (and, at times, funny). I related to it a lot. I read it twice. I think it’s worth your time.
It’s impossible for me to discuss the utility of a thing when I fundamentally disagree with the purpose of it.
And while you’re at it, you should also give Ben’s I’m a Spotless Giraffe a read. It remains one of the best things I’ve ever read on the internet.
As tech continues to charge headfirst into AI hype, this is going to have far-reaching, yet largely invisible to the mainstream, consequences to anyone on the wrong side of that normativity. Better hope you have spots.
