Very true, I see people increasingly polarized on this topic. I also see it in the rollercoaster of votes on my post.

If it wasn't clear, I think we're (as a society) destroying ourselves by believing in all this generative AI crap, even contrary to the evidence of how wrong it often is, the hallucinations, the awful quality etc.

I think we're witnessing the death of intellect: when you discard the evidence in favor of something that only looks right but is nonsense, there's no telling where it will end. If your profession requires you to think and produce output accordingly, but suddenly nobody thinks wrong answers matter, then your profession no longer exists.

Standing up against it and refusing to accept any form of AI anywhere is the only reasonable thing to do. And I don't know if it will make a difference.
