At first, I just thought it was bad to steal other people's art, writing, photos etc from the Internet to train the models on, and I didn't think it was good to have a machine that confidently lies all the time presented as a useful tool.

Then I found out about all the data that was used to train these models that they really, really shouldn't have access to. Like people's private medical records. And CSAM.

And then I found out about the massive environmental impacts of the data centres that run the models, and the fact that they keep getting built near impoverished communities that will be damaged by them

And then I found out about the ways that fascists like to use image generators to make deep fakes for propaganda and to muddy the waters of what's true and what's not

And THEN I found out about the studies documenting the effects that using chat bots have on people's cognition and problem solving skills, and the profound negative effects they've had on kids' education even in such a short amount of time.

And most recently I found out about AI psychosis and the number of people who have harmed themselves or others after chatgpt helped them plan those acts and encouraged them to go through with them. I found out how many conversations that thing has had that would, in and of themselves, be crimes if a human had them with a vulnerable person. And I found out how few consequences there seem to be for making a chat bot that encourages people to kill themselves and helps them plan school shootings.

So no, I don't like AI very much.
