“AI” Hurts Consumers and Workers -- and Isn’t Intelligent (techpolicy.press)

"We view this moment of hype around generative AI as dangerous. There is a pack mentality in rushing to invest in these tools, while overlooking the fact that they threaten workers and impact consumers by creating lesser quality products and allowing more erroneous outputs. For example, earlier this year America’s National Eating Disorders Association fired helpline workers and attempted to replace them with a chatbot. The bot was then shut down after its responses actively encouraged disordered eating behaviors. "

IMO, AI won't replace you, a person using will. AI does really help you make your job easier, but you still have to do the work. There ain't no easy jobs

Exactly. It doesn't do your job, it helps you do your job better. But apparently that's a bad thing?

Yeah, I guess some people must learn to swallow their ego and give it a try. I consider AI as a tool, not an entity who has a will of their own!

It's always adapt or just stop even working all together.
