AI isn't evil. Generative AI isn't evil. AI has existed for 20+ years now, I studied it back in my uni days.
Corporations, how they trained it, how they use it now, how they are willing to pave the planet to force it down our throats is evil.
This is one of those things as tech people we have to come to terms with and understand. No technology is inherently good or evil, it's what people do with it.
Well, yes. You just said AI is evil because capitalism made it evil.
That’s a weird way to agree, but ok.
I’m not saying binary computing is the tool of the devil. Well, maybe Windows.
I've met some people who actually believe that the technology itself is inherently evil lol
It could be viewed as a form of divination.
There is something inherently evil about a technology that encourages you to turn over your voice to a soulless machine. Let the machine speak for you.
