I think Generative AI should just be scrapped. Nobody needs hyperrealistic photos and videos, or chatbots, or any of that shit. The main problems of the world are not technological, but legal. Too many laws are enacted for the benefit of robber-barons, and unless they are scrapped, I have no faith in my legal system.
You should look at the energy cost of AI. It’s not a miracle machine.
I know a little bit about programming, but I think that it’s crucial to learn more, not just because of how messed up social media sites are, but because you can do so much cool stuff!
I blame the attempt to make devices user-friendly. Convenience kills skill.
