“AI” Hurts Consumers and Workers -- and Isn’t Intelligent (techpolicy.press)

"We view this moment of hype around generative AI as dangerous. There is a pack mentality in rushing to invest in these tools, while overlooking the fact that they threaten workers and impact consumers by creating lesser quality products and allowing more erroneous outputs. For example, earlier this year America’s National Eating Disorders Association fired helpline workers and attempted to replace them with a chatbot. The bot was then shut down after its responses actively encouraged disordered eating behaviors. "

every technological advancement threatens some jobs and workers, that's how it is and always will be
plenty of jobs are pointless and should go long time ago - government and official structures filled with "a cousin of my second wive's brother's uncle" should be the first to clean up
AI doesn't hurt customers, customers hurt themselves by their choices
AI isn't intelligent, but then again, who is? Seeing how mothers give energy drink to their 3-4 years old children, I have my doubts.
