Title: What's bad about generative AI on the Internet and beyond, exactly?

I have seen multiple criticisms regarding generative AI, like how they infringe on copyrights on training data & output, how they cause "brain rot" on humans, and how they cause software to have bugs & vulnerabilities if used during software development. What are your opinions on this?

Apart from the things you mentioned. Neural networks / machine learning models aren't actually intelligent. They basically spit out the most likely/generic patterns based on an input. That is why AI generated art looks so homogeneous. Now you can imagine what's going to happen to industries that are supposed to be making art, but are already trying to let that go in favour of higher margins.

Secondly, AI is an extremely blunt instrument. Basically the most brute force solution you can apply to a problem. It should only be applied to problems for which there is no better solution because the cost is just too high.

And now we have this extremely unhealthy business that is losing billions upon billions of dollars on a promise that is unattainable.

So my opinion. The current AI business needs to die and it needs to die quick because the long it takes, the bigger the damage will be. So I do what I must. Ignore this entire business and everything that is created that benefits it.
