Bye Bye, Google AI

12. No. I'm quite happy to write without getting paid for it when there's good reason to do so. I don't know

of anyone who's paid specifically to write about all the problems with generative AI. If they're writing about those problems, it's because of valid concerns.

There are a lot of paid shills for genAI, though - conscience-free corporate whores out there trying to convince people AI is wonderful. I've encountered some on Twitter and been blocked by some. I'm in good company there. I'd rather be reposted and thanked by people like Cory Doctorow and Gary Marcus (who also got blocked by some of those shills) than take money from companies peddling what's probably the most harmful non-weapon tech ever developed.

It's an unethical tool that causes a lot of harm. It isn't an "obsession" to point that out. People should care about that. Democrats and liberals usually do.

You've posted here about using genAI. It's your choice to use an unethical tool. And my choice to point out why people shouldn't.
