“I Am An AI Hater”, by Anthony Moser:

> I became a hater by doing precisely those things AI cannot do: reading and understanding human language; thinking and reasoning about ideas; considering the meaning of my words and their context; loving people, making art, living in my body with its flaws and feelings and life. AI cannot be a hater, because AI does not feel, or know, or care. Only humans can be haters. I celebrate my humanity.

My niece (21) tells me she's been chatting with AI every day, discussing her dreams. She says she's been using Grok, which she describes as "iPhone's AI." At some point Grok was installed as part of an update, she assumed it was Apple's own AI. She knew nothing about what Grok is, knew nothing about MechaHitler. How many people found Grok on their phones and just assumed, like she did? How many people have no idea they're being fed Elon Musk's thoughts like truth?

Important thoughts on what genAI / LLMs do to us, thank you.

Love the term "degenerative LLM"!

I'm still looking for the right hashtags to identify this strand of reflection. #noAI#noLLM#antiAI#antiLLM#antiGenAI#degenerativeAI#degenerativeLLM ?

I appreciate the academic and rigorous effort to measure the bullshit that LLMs generate: https://machine-bullshit.github.io/

I just wish we would do away with the rhetoric that we're just aiming to make these models better.

How about no? How about admitting that the premise is poisoned from the start?

How about saying that holding everyone's labor, creativity and expression hostage for the sake of deskilling people and making them precarious is a horrible idea?

New semester means new AI policy for the syllabus. This is drawn from my past policy, a very concise post by Mel Hogan on BlueSky, and from reading "Empire of AI" this summer. For context, this is for a creative coding class in an art department:

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE STATEMENT
While the use of AI tools (including ChatGPT and other AI powered writing or image technologies) may be tempting, it is important to understand the following:

Ethical Problems: All publicly available high profile LLMs are built using stolen data, exploitative labor practices, and require vast amounts of natural resources which worsens our climate crisis.

Negative Impacts on Learning: Multiple studies have shown the AI use can erode creative and critical thinking skills, the very things you are here to cultivate.

The Essence of Art: At its core, art is about cultivating one's own personal point of view and process. It is about making thousands of small choices that culminate in works that reflect who you are and what you care about. AI flattens and streamlines this process, ironing out all the wrinkles that make art interesting and robbing you of the opportunity to cultivate yourself through your practice.

So, in this course we will not be using AI tools. If you are caught using AI for any class work, it will result in a zero on the associated assignment and perhaps referral to the Office of Undergraduate Academic Integrity depending on severity. The one exception to this rule is that if you desire to make work that critically engages with AI, you should consult with me before using any such tools. If approved, the use of AI tools must be properly cited and acknowledged in all submissions.
