sharing a personal rant from a private chat:

computers allow us to make mistakes at huge speed, "AI" allows computers to make even more mistakes, without us having to be involved at all

it's the antithesis of taking extra effort to do things right the first time, and it's going to lead to a precipitous drop in the quality of damn near everything

because capitalism doesn't value doing things right, it only values doing them fast and cheaply

so even things that aren't software are going to be influenced by this, you're going to see clothing designed by "AI", cars whose manufacturing processes have been "streamlined" by it, etc

and everything is just going to get shittier as responsibility for things is shifted onto "AI" tools, so the management class can shirk their own responsibility when things go entirely wrong

the problem isn't the technology itself, but our economic and social systems that already have inhuman values. these tools will just accelerate the process of reducing everything and everyone into raw materials for making a number go up

(if you ever saw an essay called "The Acceleration of Errors", yes, that was me)
