Ok quite honestly, I am getting #aiFatigue. But not because it's everywhere, because its haters and detractors are everywhere in my current echo chamber of a social network.
Am I pro-AI? I honestly don't know. It helps from time to time, it also has a lot of problems, costs way too much energy and probably single-handedly pushes climate change along. This is bad.
But what's also bad is constantly spitting acid about #ai. I see sentiments like " If AI was so great, we'd see more people liking it!". No you wouldn't. Everybody sees all this pushback and will think three times before posting anything that's actually positive AI to make sure the contra-AI linchmob doesn't decide to " uhm well actually" them out of existence. Systemic change, sure, many voices form a crowd, fantastic, but for a place that is supposed to be open and individual, we're awfully decided on hating anyone who uses this technology into the ground. #sheesh

Take this latest NaNoWriMo fiasco. I haven't dug into it, I honestly don't want to, my hazmat suit's in the laundry and I don't need all the toxicity, but over here all I see is people coming out of the woodwork calling them ablist for using the " disableds might find this helpful" argument. People with disabilities MEYAD as HEYALL saying that they would "never use this plagiarism to write". Well, here's a hit of neutrality right here: I don't know if there are people with disabilities who find this helpful. Maybe there are, maybe there aren't. I probably wouldn't, but I wouldn't even dare to have the thought to speak for all disabled folks and hey... if there are people with disabilties that, I dunno, use AI to give them a place to start and that gets them to participate where they otherwise wouldn't, do I call it ablist if we say they can't use what for all intents and purposes is a tool that enables them to pursue something they otherwise wouldn't, or even couldn't? dunno.

I don't care about nanowrimo one bit, but I do use AI when writing, but not *for* writing.

It's mostly things like "tell me whether I made any grammatical mistakes or used English incorectly", or even "rewrite this hastily written email full of typos in a more professional style".

I don't consider this to be plagiarism, as I'm writing the content after all.

@miki yeah at that point Idon't really understand the rhetoric. Iguess the point would then have to be made that lines from your email have been corrected along the lines of other emails others wrote in the past or ...something?
