I can’t say I hate specifically “AI”, it’s more like I have little love for the Big Tech in general. GenAI just being a perfect expression of everything that went wrong with them. It’s trained using what is little better than slave labour; on data taken without creators’ consent; and with no concern for the damage done to the enviroment. Then it’s shoved down everyone’s throat with the clear intent to take away people’s livelihoods. And it’s not even reliably usable for most tasks.

My hate is for this general attitude, not for the tech itself. Althouth, given the costs and requirements of LLM training, it might well prove impossible to decouple this specific tech from that attitude.
