These guys snarfed up a mag site I was Exec. Editor of (Baseline Magazine) and have been doing fraudulent shit with my byline ever since. AI isn’t going to kill us all. It’ll just make us wish we were dead.

The nice folks who leave free-to-take dog treats at the Mattapoisett (Mass.) Harbormaster’s office have exactly the right attitude about everything.
A box of free dog treats with a cute hand-drawn sign showing two dogs on a boat singing “Won’t You Let Me Take You on a Sea Cruise.” And more importantly, adding “No AI used to create this design.”

There are serious, exploitable vulnerabilities in the human body. For example, if you obstruct a person's breathing for just five minutes or so, they will die. All reputable physicians acknowledge this. However, this is not proof that you have been murdered. Same for election vulnerabilities.

When it comes to writing, the process is the purpose. You don’t have to always like or enjoy the process, but if you don’t respect it enough to do it yourself, there is no purpose. AI will never fill that void. www.thehandbasket.co/p/refusing-t...

IMO the worst mistake people make trying to AI-proof their career is dropping everything to learn AI. It's like dropping out of math to study how to push calculator buttons really fast. The skill cap for AI is going to be your understanding of the underlying subject, not how good you are at prompts.

Since generative AI is based on scouring the large body of existing content for the most common patterns, relying on AI at work is a great way to be a drone who definitely doesn’t need a promotion or their own team or a project budget for their big interesting new idea they will never have
