I understand what you’re saying here and to an extent I do agree but as a writer myself I won’t deny my immediate bias against AI in the arts. My passion is under assault from machines that lack that same passion, used by people who are lazy and unskilled, promoted by the very people making my life as a prole actively worse for their own profit, and polluting the very medium I want to participate in. The arts have already been placed under siege by capitalism and AI is just another front in that war against human culture. This is a very personal issue for me as a consequence.
I sympathize. Still, this is textbook reactionism. Please reread your theory to let go of this nonsense. Its the same reactionism the luddites had (also for even better reasons because the machines actually killed them at times, they were very dangerous). But the issue is misdirected. It is not the machine that kills you, it is the factory owner, buying the machine and the system, enabling him.
With ai it is the same. It is a tool, nothing more. Try to explore it dialectically and you will see how much energy you are wasting thinking about this. Its not worth it.
