I can’t have a conversation with any genAI boosters that is remotely productive precisely because of this.

@zkat Genuine Q if you have the spoons for it: how do you navigate feelings about genAI vs other also ethically concerning technologies (like cars, perhaps)?
I personally feel like I have a sort of status quo bias re: things that already existed and were problematic when I came into the world, but see more recent developments as more avoidable or exceptional, even tho maybe they’re not actually that different.

@b_cavello @zkat

I use my car for the things that I need a car to accomplish - driving people to appointments, picking up groceries, hauling tools to a job site, etc. I also use GenAI for the things I need GenAI to accomplish -- absolutely nothing. My approach to the two technologies is the same, which is why I begrudgingly use one and avoid the other one all together.
