Within academia alone, AI is deskilling our youth under the guise of 'free tools' (aka unpaid labour for AI training), forging dependence, stealing scholars' work, putting us out of jobs, and profiting from all of it. We are losing so much more than could ever be gained.
Venture Capitalist and Biden's Secretary of Commerce, Gina Raimondo, is taking AI as an opportunity to further subsume education under the needs of capital and embrace deskilling.
Make no mistake, this is about shifting income from labor to capital, it's about wage depression
Of course.

A sketch from the 1930s on display at the Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge, Massachusetts--unclear if Rockwell himself made the sketch. It shows a woman standing in front of a burned out hovel and wearing a tattered dress marked "Spanish Loyalists," mocked by Hitler and Mussolini, who are saying to her "So you wanted to be a republic, eh?"
A sketch from the 1930s that encapsulates a century of fascism's struggle to crush democracy.

It's not just casual users that are anthropomorphising AI โ professionals, the media, and law firms are doing it, too. What kind of problems is that causing?
