The real danger is not that computers will begin to think like men, but that men will begin to think like computers. (Sydney J. Harris)

Criticism of generative AI

“For a Student Who Used AI to Write a Paper”
by Joseph Fasano

Now I let it fall back
in the grasses.
I hear you. I know
this life is hard now.
I know your days are precious
on this earth.
But what are you trying
to be free of?
The living? The miraculous
task of it?
Love is for the ones who love the work.

Also:

I strongly feel that this is an insult to life itself. (Hayao Miyazaki on generative AI)
