"What begins as a convenient shortcut risks becoming a self-reinforcing loop of diminishing originality – not because these tools produce objectively poor content, but because they quietly narrow the bandwidth of human creativity itself."
This is my primary concern about the adoption of generative AI, and a key reason i don't use it. What's supplementarily weird is that i almost never find this concern expressed by knowledgeable commentators. Do you? From whom?
@ed209 That's really interesting. Yeah, and the post itself is a bit partisan, but it's a risk i take seriously.
Still, the tools can be very useful if used well; and, as with other forms of gambling addiction, i expect almost all users can avoid it given access to basic material and social needs—so i see it more as a symptom of broader societal problems than as a problem of AI.
Does that make sense? AI mediocrity worries me because even the best-resourced of us may succumb to it.
