Ars Techica: US law enforcement warns of "anti-tech extremism" as AI hatred grows

Honestly, I don’t see AI as something negative. It has negative aspects, like any technological advancement. It helps me as a writer and researcher to look for books, studies, topics, to translate, to create texts and fun stories. Regarding the use of documents and books to train models, I don’t see it as something bad or as an infringement of copyright. In the end, it is a free use of what has been learned. I have my doubts regarding the creation of images and videos. Does it affect the work of artists? Without a doubt. But in the same way that automation affects the automotive sector or any other industry. Self-checkout machines also take away jobs from many people. The negative effects of technology come from a capitalist system where increased productivity does not translate into a reduction of working hours, but rather leads to increased unemployment and an ever-growing accumulation of capital (with the resulting economic and production crises). As for the ecological impact, I cannot comment on that, because I am not informed on the matter. Perhaps the solution lies in Chinese models, which are much more efficient because they are not enormous brains capable of performing any task, but rather select specific “specialties.”
