Periodic self-repetition: As a data librarian I can say that "AI" is not a matter of personal preference -- whether you like it or not, or whether you have found some use that you think is useful. It actively destroys organized knowledge, and therefore it actively destroys civilization.

Whenever someone looks for a human written text and can't find it because statistical near variants have been created and indexed, whenever "AI" "hallucinates" a reference, knowledge has been destroyed.

"Periodic self-repetition" means that I'm an old person who goes on and on about the same things a lot, so if you wait I'll write something like this again.

I think that the last time I wrote more than one post about it was this thread:
