Yes. Also, the "adapt or die" nonsense needs to go the way of "we HAVE to put lead in our gas, it's everywhere now anyway!" and "it's too late now to fix the ozone layer!" We ignored that crap, to humanity's great benefit; we can and must do so again.
No. This is nonsense. Generative AI isn't artificial intelligence, it's a theft machine, built on theft, sipping the lifeblood of our planet, vomiting out simulacrum of creativity and talent that is most striking its its uncanny valley hollowness. It is the corporate murder of creativity. A plague.
Do you think AI can be boycotted out of existence? What benefits are there to not using it? There are benefits to being thoughtful to how you are using it, yes. But rejecting it is like...I don't know...rejecting a life saving vaccine. Accept it or die a slow death.

A las 16h emiten en La1 "La nuera perfecta" y, gracias a los códigos ya consolidados de las pelis de sobremesa, sabemos que esa nuera va a ser genial. Si la emitiesen en Antena3 sabríamos que sería una psicópata, si fuese en Cuatro sería Nicolas Cage, y en LaSexta una pirañaconda

#zerosubtitles: deliberately omitted #subtitles for utterances considered to be easily understood without them, intentionally incomprehensible, or functioning as sound effects. The decision to omit can be made by the subtitler or the creator.
