The alarmism around AI is just a marketing spin.
As @[email protected] wrote: that’s “mystical nonsense about spontaneous consciousness arising from applied statistics”.
Real problems we face with AI are:
Ghost labor, erosion of the rights of artists, costs of automation, the climate impact of data-centers and the human impact of biased, opaque, incompetent and unfit algorithmic systems.
Nobody is doing these tests, but it’s not uncommon these days for mistaking something for being AI generated. Even in professional settings, people are hypervigilant.
