The cited article deconstructs the propaganda used by the industry and people who promote #genAI and similar #aI tools thoroughly, though it's a bit long winded. Of most interest is the Learning and the Creativity "myths" promulgated by those promoting ai tooling by downplaying the human contribution as mere biological automation. Both include the word "labor," which is what industry aims to replace. Creators cost big money. Labor is a recurring cost. People require food and a place to live and they turn to creating to create personal wealth. Automation of any stripe needs be paid for only once (essentially). There is a value judgement here—usually made by those that employ labor, not by those that perform labor. As a creator, I am wary. I've yet to see AI writing tools that can help me save money, but I'm aware that if I find them they might replace labor from proofreaders and editors who do their jobs frighteningly well. I actually value their learned experience and creative suggestions.
