In left-leaning media outlets like n+1, resistance against AI is taking shape: “When we use generative AI, we consent to the appropriation of our intellectual property by data scrapers. We stuff the pockets of oligarchs with even more money. (…) There’s still time to disenchant AI, provincialize it, make it uncompelling and uncool.”
Summary
- AI technology threatens to replace many human creative and intellectual workers.
- Academics and writers grapple with the implications of AI-generated writing in a mix of concern and ambivalence.
- Resisting AI encroachment requires active efforts to uphold standards, organize, and stigmatize AI use in intellectual domains.
