Anthony Moser’s “I am an AI hater” is one of the greatest things I’ve ever read in my entire life about any topic ever…
I am an AI hater. This is considered rude, but I do not care, because I am a hater.
To speak politely about AI, you put disclaimers before criticism: of course I’m not against it entirely; perhaps in a few years when; maybe for other purposes, but. You are supposed to debate how and when it should be used. You are supposed to take for granted that it must be useful somewhere, to someone, for something, eventually. People who are rich and smart and respected are saying so, and it would be arrogant to disagree with such people.
But I am a hater, which is a kind of integrity. It means I am willing to disagree with anyone, even if it is rude. “But I only use it to–” “Actually if you just—” “The new models–” “I was making fun–” Stop. You’re embarrassing yourself. I am embarrassed for you.
Anthony includes a ton of great links about why AI is so objectively awful, but this really strikes at the heart of it…
I am here to be rude, because this is a rude technology, and it deserves a rude response.
It reminds me every-so-slightly of something I wrote last year about raging against the AI machine…
Most AI tools are, frankly, shit… But even if that weren’t true, I would fight AI with every fiber of my being.
Because in a time of environmental collapse, AI tools in their current form are immoral.
Do me a favor and go read Anthony’s entire article. It is probably the best thing you’ll read in your entire life.
