Yeah, don't blame you for cracking the whip on hyperbole. Its good to have someone doing that to keep us sane.
What OOP is reacting to is the majority sentiment thats saturating the feed they're swimming through. It's a messy response, but the direction they're pointed in is generally correct - and a lot more aligned with your position than you might expect, despite fumbling the details.
I can get behind this clarification, so thanks for that.
I'm a realist. To that end, relevance is assigned less on the basis on pedantic deconstruction on a single post and more on the practical reality of what is unfolding around us. Are there ethical applications for generative AI? Possibly. Will they become the standard? Unlikely, given incumbent power structures that are defining and dictating long term use.
As with most things stitched into the human experience, gaming human psychology/behavioral mechanics are key to trendsetting. What the majority accepts is what reality re-acclimates to. At the moment, that appears to be mass adoption of unethical AI systems.
I don't disagree on these problems not being inherent to AI. But that sentiment has the same flavour as 'guns don't kill people' ammosexuals like to bust out when confronted.
Either way, it's clear you have a good read on what needs to happen to get all this to a better place. Hope you keep fighting to make that happen.
Genuinely one of the worst places I’ve ever worked at, run almost exclusively by fascist-adjacent personalities fixated on crawling their way to a secure spot in the org with zero empathy for the lives they grind through.
Not having to attend another godawful teams scrum on some asinine, consumer-abusing feature will continue to remain a high point for the remainder of my career.
