This. We need to educate ourselves enough to take a stand. Not sit on the fence or spread/start from a point of fear that stops ourselves and other people from learning objectively and making this decision. #editing #publishing
Sorry, lovely people, but I'm not both-siding genAI. It's killing our planet, it's destroying people's lives and brains, it's enriching the already too rich. Yes, having conversations about it and educating people is important, but to me, that doesn't include acceptance or working with users.
