I’m working on an AI policy for my org that allows us to opt out of AI note taking and prohibits AI in our comms/storytelling. here is my list of reasons for the policy, but my board is asking me to cite sources. Can you help me with any good references you would cite for any of these? (Or an edit or restatement where I’ve gotten it wrong or inaccurate?)

*if you want to argue about why I shouldn’t have this policy kindly crawl into a hole in the ground and cover yourself with soil

MIT recently released a study on the long term cognitive effects of AI use. (Spoiler: they're not good effects.)

@cafechatnoir @seachanger pinging @WeirdWriter, who put in beautiful, powerful words how that experience of “semantic ablation” affected his writer friend. At least, it seems to be recoverable, but at what cost…
@juandesant @cafechatnoir @seachanger Yay thank you for tagging! My narrative is at the end. I’ve seen it have a drastically negative psychological consequences for everybody that uses it. Writers, readers, anybody really. I recently had a scenario where a trance friend of mine just quit writing all altogether because, on the one hand everybody was praising her for doing such a fantastic job with prompting the thing when she never used an LLM at all. The truly horrifying thing was, the positive comments were more disturbing because they praised an LLM for creating it when she never touched an LLM in her life. I’m going to write about it, but right now, the emotions are swirling around and I need to calm down after these incidences AnyWho, but if you have not read it yet, the first story is https://sightlessscribbles.com/the-colonization-of-confidence/
