I think is people don’t like it they don’t need to use it. I’m ok with rules stating ai generated content must be labeled though. I wouldn’t even mind a toggle so it could just be turned off.
But it is tech that is here to stay. It is useful to many people.
I think you might be surprised. Generative AI has limited utility and costs a lot to operate; so much, in fact that t does not appear there are enough natural resources on the planet we’re on to ramp it up to the scale that is intended. Soon, the hype-based funding will dry up, and the free and subsidized generative AI tokens will all disappear. Only then will we see the true cost of using it and if users will bear that cost. If it costs a lot of money to ask it to do things, people will go back to doing a lot of those things themselves.
It is allowing me to do things that I could not do on my own due to time constraints. It also allows me to do stuff that I could not afford to do (generate my company logo and variations of the mascot for social media posts.)
I know a lot of people think I am rich, but I live in a third world country and hardly have any extra to save, so I truly can’t afford to pay a graphic designer to do that work. I actually did once, on upwork, but the vector work she did was terrible and she couldn’t figure out how to remove these thick black lines. ChatGPT was able to fix it though.
It’d be fine if that was the case. Right now if you don’t like it you’re still forced to read (and often review) AI generated rumblings, communicate with LLMs instead of humans when contacting support, accept AI-specific terms even you won’t use the AI part of a product, have data centers pollute your city and pay ridiculous amount of money for a stick of ram.

Tell that to the people living near new data centers who can’t get clean water and are being charged exorbitant rates for electricity. They have no say in the matter.
Useful to who? If you need an LLM to write just a basic e-mail/comment/caption you’re maybe … how do I say this nicely? Not that smart …
If you use an LLM as a search engine, same thing.
If you use an LLM as a psychologist, same damn thing.
And the majority of people are using it for those things. It’s just plain stupidity. I’m not saying there’s no use to AI, but right now it’s being used in a terrible way by people that have no use for it at all.

This is occuring all over the US, these issues are far from isolated incidents.

That would be wonderful if those anti-AI folk would stop using LLMs and switch their attention to something more constructive. But they can’t.
The thing is people using this stuff are doing harm to the planet and society. So leaving them alone is not going to happen.
