    So what you’re saying is, don’t beat the targets because fuck those guys. Understood.

    Soylent Green is a lie anyway. Your need to “soylentify” half the population to feed the other half every year if it would be the only source of calories.

      No, the point is that they’re just recycling the dissidents they were going to murder anyway.

      AI absolutely has its benefits, but it’s impossible to deny the ethical dilemma in forcing writers to feed their work to a machine that will end up churning out a half assed version that also likely has some misinformation in it.

          I don’t think so, at least for a little bit. Big cooperation will surely try to market it that way, but we’ve already seen how badly AI can shit the bed when it feeds on its own content

            The trouble is that a fad doesn’t have to be functional to be used by short-sighted trend chasers as a justification to make cuts. How many jobs did we see outsourced to India in a way that didn’t even come close to matching the quality of the people laid off? The people who make the decision to replace jobs with ai systems will loudly declare success and move on to their next role before the long-term consequences are fully realized.
