I think about this a lot, especially when I recall a college IT manager laughing in the face of instructors' concerns about AI, because, as he said, the "amount of throughput possible with AI is enormous"
@emilymbender.bsky.socialThe second problem with "usefulness" as a primary concern is that it pushes all of the harms (to self, to others, to society, to the planet) outside the frame.
In other words, given all of the harms, even if the software weren't janky, there would still be plenty of reasons to oppose it.
