I Need AI
I need AI
I need AI to waste energy. I need it to deprive vulnerable communities of water so that it can be used to cool new data centers.I need AI to make up answers to my questions.I need AI to make up APIs and lower my code quality. I need it to repeatedly give me wrong answers until I realize I could have just written it myself.I need it to fail to answer customer questions and make up company policies.I need AI to ignore qualified job candidates.I need AI to attend meetings that could have been an email and write emails that could have been a Slack message.I need AI to produce generic art for unimaginative creators.I need AI to exploit publicly available content on the web without compensating any creators.I need AI to deskill knowledge work and weaken labor.I need AI to miscategorize images so we can apologize for it after the damage has been done.I need AI to pilot autonomous vehicles that injure pedestrians and take jobs from taxi drivers and truckers.I need AI to create more invasive and insidious advertising for things I don't need.I need AI to do even more damage to the journalism industry and create content nobody can trust.I need AI to produce gimmicky videos that threaten the jobs of creators and secure funding for the already wealthy.I need AI that can't taste to create recipes.I need AI that's never traveled to plan my vacation.I need AI that can't appreciate music to recommend music for me.I need AI to replace web search with answers I can't trust and with no benefit to content creators.Life is short and I need AI to flood what time I have with more garbage to sift through.Who asked for this?If you found this post helpful, you can buy me a coffee.
