The crazy thing is, none of these articles seem to want to admit that AI is bad. They keep making articles like this. Keep saying that approval is falling among the general populace. But when touching on why that is, there’s always some wiggle words. Always some spin. It’s never “people being forced to use it are seeing it as a detriment to them” people using it are seeing a decrease in efficacy of the results it gives for the amount of prompting required. Or people don’t like it because it’s going to have significant detrimental affects on the environment and their utilities. All of those are solid reasons for the decline in both the use of AI LLM’S and the approval of them. The cost of goods and services relating even tangentially to AI are going through the roof. The amount of slop is increasing at a furious pace, directly contributing to things like enshittification and dead Internet theory. The effect on the economy is looking to be extremely catastrophic. But oh no. It’s lack of authenticity on social media spaces that people are worried about. Sure.
