Pasar del esfuerzo mental, del esfuerzo creativo y de la ejecución humana, física e intelectual, a ideas humanas implementadas mayormente a través de IA generativa, “nos baja mucho el precio”, nos desdibuja y nos amontona.
Perdemos la riqueza de las diferencias que nos hacen únicos.
Pausa necesaria para pensar.
No usar para nada la IA generativa no es la solución.
Usarla para casi toda actividad otrora intelectual, creativa o cultural, muchísimo menos.
¿Qué tanto habla de uno el hecho de querer mostrarse siempre en lo último, ser early-adopters por defecto?
¿Con la IA generativa, no se sienten un poquito mal, no sienten un poco de cringe antes de publicar algo “ensamblado” por una IA generativa?

Generative AI is not the enemy. We can use it and thrive. But perhaps it's worth slowing down for a moment to ask ourselves: what do we lose when we stop creating together among people? With the beautiful fuzziness that implies.

¿Qué sucede cuando el origen humano de lo que consumimos se desdibuja, convirtiéndose en una amalgama algorítmica de contenido preexistente?
Lo que parece estar en juego es la pérdida de conexión con el origen humano.

What happens when the human origin of what we consume becomes blurred, turning into an algorithmic amalgamation of pre-existing content? Fundamentally, the underlying concern appears to be a detachment from human origins.

La IA generativa no es el enemigo. Podemos usarlas y crecer con ellas. Pero quizás valga la pena frenar un momento y preguntarnos: ¿qué perdemos cuando dejamos de crear en conjunto entre personas? Con la hermosa desprolijidad que eso implica.

“The study revealed that #AI #chatbots actually created new #job tasks for 8.4 percent of workers, including some who did not use the tools themselves, offsetting potential time savings. For example, many teachers now spend time detecting whether students use #ChatGPT for homework, while other workers review AI output quality or attempt to craft effective prompts.”

AI is a cruel technology. It replaces workers, devours millions of gallons of water, vomits CO2 into the atmosphere, propagandises exclusively for the worst ideologies, and fills the world with more ugliness and stupidity. Cruelty is the central tenet of right wing ideology. It is at the heart of everything they do. They are now quite willing to lose money or their lives in order to make the world a crueller place, and AI is a part of this – a mad rush to make a machine god that will liberate capital from labour for good. (This is no exaggeration: there is a lineage from OpenAI’s senior management back to the Lesswrong blog, originator of the concept of Roko’s Basilisk.) Moreso even than cryptocurrency, AI is entirely nihilistic, with zero redeeming qualities. It is a blight upon the world, and it will take decades to clear up the mountains of slop it has generated in the past two or three years.

Embrace reality, reject slop. It's the fascists who run on "feelings over facts".
I've had some aversions to the blanket criticisms people often make towards generative AI, because I have close friends and acquaintances for whom it has greatly improved accessibility for various tasks, and who also have spoken quite passionately to me about potentially helping with different accessibility services in the future.
This isn't to say that the critical attention generative AI is getting is not warranted. Generative AI clearly occupies a powerful and influential space in society, and its current material impact has harmed many people. It is simply important that we direct those criticisms strategically, in ways that are vulnerable to being turned against us, or which may close off potential futures.
I think this video does an excellent job of talking about both the harms that AI is currently causing, and which it may potentially cause in the future, in addition to taking a critical look at the rhetoric many people on the left have been using against various generative AI uses like AI art--and how those criticisms are already in the process of being co-opted by the capitalist class against us through the expansion of private property--from a leftist perspective.
It also takes a close look at some of the claims which have been made about generative AI energy use, and how many of these claims are based on erroneous calculations that have been disproved, yet which continue to be spread by the media--bringing attention away from other areas of environmental harm which objectively have much larger impacts like animal agriculture.
Even if you find yourself disagreeing with the arguments Alex Avila makes, he explore a lot of interesting history and philosophical ideas, which I think anyone, regardless of their current perspectives, will find very interesting:

Instead of depressing wages or taking jobs, #generativeAI chatbots like #chatgpt #claude and #gemini have had almost no significant wage or labor impact so far – a finding that calls into question the huge capital expenditures required to create and run #ai models.

"The environmental shadow cast by my digital life is already egregious, and I would need a good reason—pleasure would be sufficient—to engage with a technology that is not only making the physical world worse but is also decidedly optional. (Want to see what your dog would look like as a human? You actually have an imagination for that!) A.I. is frankly gross to me: it launders bias into neutrality; it hallucinates; it can become “poisoned with its own projection of reality.” The more frequently people use ChatGPT, the lonelier, and the more dependent on it, they become. A recent system update made the chatbot so sycophantic that, if a user told it he’d stopped taking his medications and abandoned his family because they were broadcasting suspicious radio signals, ChatGPT would respond with fawning praise for the person’s journey of courageously pursuing his truth. Earlier this week, Mark Zuckerberg suggested, on a podcast, that the average person has only three friends but “has demand” for fifteen, and that A.I. could help. ChatGPT will reify the problems that it purports to solve, and thus make itself essential: encouraging users to rely less and less on inner resources and personal capacity at a time when most of us are already losing the equipment—our will, our instincts, our sense of purchase—with which we handle the task of being alive."
