He is so close. He just needs to make the same connection he’s made to every application of LLMs. All of it is low-quality, useless drivel that is actively making the world a worse place.
Who even cares about the quality. That makes it seem like a solvable problem. AI use is fundamentally alienating. No amount of quality redeems this fact, when you see an AI generated person your brain is registering a non-human as a human. When you draft an AI generated email or report you’re allowing a machine to communicate with other humans using its voice. Reading content changes your brain, this used to mean changing your brain TOWARDS another human, AI generated content means your brain is changing towards a machine’s language.
This might not seem so bad if it were not that these machines are owned and controlled by a person. Everytime you use or consume AI you alienate yourself from other humans and bind yourself to a rich person’s machine.
Marx envisioned private ownership of the means of production as alienating a worker from his labour. Never did he imagine private ownership of the means of production alienating a human from his humanity whether he works or not.
