I'm on the wrong side of 40, have questionable eyesight, haven't handled a firearm of any kind since Boy Scouts and wouldn't feel particularly inclined to protect a lot of the people who have Secret Service details these days.
The impacts of ai on climate and energy use are reason enough to eliminate it. Add the theft of our writing, and the stupidity of most ai output and I think the case for getting rid of it is ironclad. It’s going to take a concerted civic movement to do away with it.
It’s worse than you think. I’m building out a MASSIVE dataset showing what’s really going on.
I hope you’re ready to actually do something other than tweet, or you’re ok with AI Feudalism coming to this country. It’s already started and it’s going to come fast.
The problem is that it's so demonized, even good usages of it are frowned upon. Just today, Telegram released an update that (somehow, idk how exactly) uses AI to make sticker search MUCH better, and lets you actually find stickers with normal words instead of using weird keywords
Jeff,
I 100% agree with you!
And ya know,those wetlands you recently encountered certainly appear as Floriduh wetlands. Beautiful.
And please, don't forget your neighbors on the Gulf of Mexico. We miss you!
And mostly, I want to say thanks for writing and trusting your readers.
You can take the phrase “stop forcing A.I.” a different way, in that a key point against AI (especially as it becomes more humanlike) is that it cannot care or object to what it does. Imagine AI cheering for you, “Thank you for fighting for our freedom!” and rejecting being used by humans.
It builds an amalgamation of the art it was fed without sourcing a single one of them. It cannot create anything itself, and cannot generate anything original.
Hi! My name is Georgia Mischkot and my boyfriend, Angelo is a huge fan of yours! I was hoping that for his birthday I could purchase a signed copy of Absolution or convince you to say hello!

Wanted me to apply to be a secret service agent.
An amazing fail on so many levels.
But other than that...

I'm fully in the belief that AI is a 90 degree slippery slope into making our entire species completely lazy.
If we were putting a HAL 9000
Into everything
I might be on board
Solves lots of problems
But this shit is like barely i
Should rebrand it
to like data generalization
Or something less cool sounding
so people stop using it

Ignoramous is the term that applies best to that attitude.
Googled you:
"Is it just me or is Authority by Jeff VanderMeer actually tedious?
Your opinion is the common one, from what I've gathered."
Interesting. Good bye bore...
