Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAI is.
GenAI is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart.
But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.

"but it's everywhere now so we just have to accept it's the new reality" motherfucker we can just stop putting it everywhere! we did it with asbestos and CFCs and lead-based paint or petrol and make-up with arsenic in it! if everyone is using something and it's bad, we can choose to stop!
"anti-AI people should just learn more about it" motherfucker I know so much about it, that's why I'm anti-AI

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.
OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

No, AI isn't "the same as Blockbuster becoming Netflix." Blockbuster didn't threaten the global power grid and water suppy while also demolishing higher education and the creative sector. It's not "inevitable." It's tech by capitalist shithawks who think learning/making anything is beneath them.
