AI is fascism. it's a tool being employed to circumvent democracy and attack our personal freedoms.
no AI company is in existence that isn't desperately attempting to enslave us all.
I will never "live with it". much the same way I'll never "live with" rapists or child molesters.
I still think you're mistaking the murder weapon for the murderer. AI is just a program, it can be used for whatever purpose the mind can devise. If someone uses an airplane to traffic children, I don't think a reasonable response is to say that airplanes are child traffickers.
Also I don't mean "live with" to imply a surrender to how other people (including fascists) use AI. We should do everything in our power to build the world we want to live in, and that means dismantling the power structures of those who abuse them. I mean accepting that AI tools exist and then planning from there. Wishing that they had never been invented is a perfectly fine thing to do, they are something of a headache at the moment, but they're here and can't be un-invented. We can either find a comfortable existence in this reality and strive for that (perhaps by limiting their use), or resign ourselves to the doom we find ourselves in.
If it's such a horrible and powerful tool, how are you going to resist it? Every criticism you make against it is a reason for people with ill intent to use it.
Do you think it'll just go away if you say it's "fascism" often enough? You can carve out a little corner of ideological purity in some corner of the internet but you're not going to get rid of AI.
You're basically insisting on absolute pacifism in the face of an overwhelming power. Noble maybe, but you're doomed to lose.
