“Maybe the young people are stupid enough to accept it”
Bleh.
They are.
Had an argument with a more junior member of my team on Friday. I described the ethical, environmental, and CS-domain-related objections I have to LLMs. His response was that “it’s just another tool in the toolbox” (my opinion: yes and no, and I could write a doctoral thesis on the “no” part)
For a little while, the US considered using nuclear weapons for geologic purposes. It was never operationally implemented because it’s an objectively horrible idea, but at the time, nuclear stuff was the hot new tool in the toolbox.

AI is also terrible, just in a less tangible way.
Thunderbirds International Rescue had a nuclear mining episode IIRC.

Seeing posts about AI lately, I’m quite convinced the people are stupid enough to accept it, unfortunately.

I just had a guy in his early thirties gush at great length about making AI “art” and “music”, literally right after talking about how he highly values artistic creation. It was gross.
