OpenAI's latest image-generation update has taken social media by storm, as users are flooding X, Instagram, and Reddit with Studio Ghibli-style images
While AI is boosting productivity and is amazing, it also appeals to our worst inner instincts of giving in to authority and outsourcing and taking credit for others’ work.
Edit: I didn’t think this needs to be spelled out but here we go…
AI productivity increase: it can help automate mundane, repetitive tasks that require little skill, but lot of time. It can help proofread texts and point out issues in your writing, or help reduce the reading level needed for your text.
AI making people give in to authority: people thinking the “AI” knows better and surrender their critical thinking to AI suggestions when it’s giving bad advice, makes false calculations et.
People outsourcing to AI: not acquiring the drawing skills, or writing skills and letting AI hallucinate into your data/writing.
Taking credit for other’s work: I think it’s trivial and AI generated “art” is the prime example, but can extend to scientific writing, etc.
Initially I thought Asimov was so naive about AI/Robots and their risks, but he was pretty much spot on. It’s not the tech it’s the humans using it that is the problem.

Nah AI is just garbo in general. Any productivity it gives has a noticible drop in quality and capabilities that result in net loss.
Nah. Humans are “garbo” in general.
