I fault people for putting the blame on AI when, as you are admitting, the blame is with capitalism.

But I don't know. Maybe you are right. I started researching AI years ago thinking that we were working to make a better world where people wouldn't need to work because machine would do it for us, and all I got is this exploitative genAI bullshit that makes climate change worse and makes people lose their jobs and I'm very mad at it. I think I'll change careers.

I'm tired that everyone treats AI like shit and thinks that all there is is grifters like OpenAI or anthropic. It didn't use to be like this. And every time I try to say "hey not everyone in AI is like this" I just get blocked. I'm sick of this.

@remenca The field of machine learning is bigger than generative models, and sometimes other type of models and other solutions are better. You don't need to change careers, particularly with this economy, where you would likely be replaced with someone else. Just don't be attached to it. If you want to defend machine learning in general you can make a clear distinction between it and generative "AI". And even if some uses of genAI are perfectly ethical I don't think you should be losing sleep because those ethical uses are unknown to the public. It doesn't really matter, you know?
