    I don’t want it to do things for me. It very often eliminates my ability to vet the information I want at a glance.

    I also think it’s basically being weaponized as a propaganda machine and surveillance tool and when you add that to the fact that it’s so convincingly sychophantic, that’s just outright dangerous.

    It also cuts out meaningful context. A summary of what is likely already a summary isn’t helpful if you plan to actually use the information for anything. Part of how the human brain recalls information is by reading and understanding details and then parsing which details are important enough to remember for recall or use later vs which can be looked up.

    Summarization by AI very often removes that context and because this is a learned skill that skill is likely to get rusty over time.

    Additionally to that some people use it as a way to offload their need to think and that’s dangerous especially with the feedback loop of agreement it gives. I have seen several examples of AI sychophantically “agreeing” with whatever the user says regardless of whether it is factual or not.

    And then of course there’s the fact that it’s often marketed as intelligent with the ability to tell truth, lies, and so on. That marketing isn’t true to how it actually works and what it actually does.

    When you add to that the training data that stole the work of actual people, I just don’t see this as a cost the benefit ration where Generative AI can win.

    I’m surprised people think it will improve engagement or even kids paying attention to the lessons. Because as much as I understand that cell phones are absolutely a distraction in class to the point where I can understand banning them, kids who don’t want to pay attention and don’t have cell phones will find other ways to get distracted. The cell phone is just the newest medium.

    If what some of these studies are saying is correct, not being allowed to have a cell phone is just as distracting if not more so.

    Were you banned from bringing them to school or banned from using them in class? My school didn’t care so long as your gaming system or CD player etc was in your backpack or locker. They just didn’t want you using it in class or while transiting the hallways. When we eventually did get cell phones (mostly the Nokia bricks), a lot of us had them in school. But they were not an accepted thing to use or have cause disruptions or distractions.

    So I wonder a lot about what we recall vs what actually was normal back then.

    I don’t think that’s what people are arguing.

    If I manufacture your product from a product version prototype you provided me and give you unlimited access to that product to use outside my manufacturing plant and store front, then say, you can have and sell all this free product I manufactured for you, but you have to price it the same in my store as you do where you sell it elsewhere, that’s makes sense.

    What doesn’t make sense and what isn’t right, is if they say "you can’t price your product that someone else is manufacturing for you at a price lower than the one your price my manufactured product of yours at.

    But people keep thinking that those two groups are saying the same thing, that Valve should be allowed to do it regardless of who manufactured what when that’s not what they are saying.

    If Valve is doing this, they obvious should have the book thrown at them. But we haven’t seen evidence of that that isn’t tantamount to hearsay. So we are doing what you should do when you hear something and can’t determine the veracity of what is being said. You wait for proof and don’t make up your mind based on rumors.

    People don’t leave platforms until their discomfort outweighes whatever they want from the platform. Things have been on the slow slide to enshittification for more than a decade now. AI is kind of raising the stakes a bit and increasing the rate at which things get endhittified, but you’ll note that most people don’t leave because of that. They find ways to circumvent it. We have seen this with Google Chrome, Firefox, DuckDuckGo etc.

    People don’t like change. They get comfortable with a platform and they stick around there until it’s completely untenable. The easier it is to insulate yourself in that platform from things you don’t want to see, the more likely people are to stick around. This is why so many people tried to block Elon Musk’s account on Xitter, instead of leaving. It’s why they block communities like r/thedonald on reddit. It’s why Tumblr is currently having a whole shit fit about the exclusion of trans flags from their little icon fest thing for pride month, and doxing themselves/other ban evading accounts in the process.

    When they do leave, they don’t often try to get others to leave with them. They ghost the platform and move on. Sometimes that means going somewhere else. Sometimes it means filling that hole with a different kind of platform entirely.
