I used to enjoy AI a lot, and I still think the technology is really cool, but lately I’m beginning to despise it. It spreads and nestles itself into every corner of our life, and it rots whatever it touches, be it the humans that rely on it or the projects in which it’s used. I see so many open source projects that are tainted with it, it’s almost impossible to avoid it. It’s sad. The generations that will grow up with AI will be fucked.

The generations that will grow up with AI will be fucked.

Eh. That’s something every single generation before us in at least the past 150 years has been saying about other new society-changing stuff. They’ll be fine, society just changes.

Generations that will grow up with social media will be fucked.

Generations that will grow up with internet will be fucked.

Generations that will grow up with video games will be fucked.

Generations that will grow up with computers will be fucked.

Generations that will grow up with morning-after pills will be fucked.

…

…

Funny you say that. In ways not everyone (obviously) doesn’t see, each generation was right about that.
