    Being “good with it” doesn’t negate the overwhelming harms it causes. Those harms are part of the slop: environmental slop, work environment slop, societal degradation slop.

      Didn’t say “good with it”, I said "being good*.

      5 years ago the complaint was people copy pasting from stack overflow without care. Those people now push without care.

      Throwing around the word slop just devalues it.

      Slop has a meaning and it does NOT equal harm.

      The invention of electricity also did a tremendous amount of harm. Should we have also just tried to put it back in its box?

        Electricity allows us to perform otherwise impossible logistics, medical care, heating, countless beneficial technologies, and longer operation hours in industry.

        Without AI… what? More jobs, cheaper utilities, lower polution? In the future it might be able to lie to you sightly more efficiently while funneling control of industry into the hands of a dozen wealthy elites.

          None of that was true when it was first invented, it killed many people caused house fires etc.

          We don’t know yet all the uses of AI, but we’re going to find out despite how many people on the fediverse crash out at the mention of AI

            When it was first invented it literally brought light to the streets and phased out TORCHES.

            Do you understand what a TORCH is?

              Torches? TORCHES???

              My dude, you seriously believe electric lights went mainstream during medieval times? Which would be pretty much the last period where any place used primarily torches for street lighting…

              At the very best it phased out gas lights. Not torches.

              You really have zero idea no matter the topic, but you’re so confidently un-knowledgeable, you’ve managed to convince yourself that you know everything.
