"Today, it's cheap and easy to create content using Generative AI"
This is reaching levels few can comprehend. A clipped video I have at the link below shows the unbelievable scale this destruction of information integrity.
"Yes, you can use AI to help you create content, but those with massive resources are using AI to scale 1000x what you can do with AI. Hundreds to thousands of simulated accounts are now typical packages being offered to businesses to grow their brand or product."
Regarding literacy: that's the reason I decided to run a 5 hour hands on session, for my neighbors and anyone interested. Out of radar. Here where I live, in the mountains, rural area. Right now, 20 people will attend, in a place with a census of 200. Goal is to generate an organic community, if there's interest of aware citizens, to use AI -unavoidably- in the best way. If a 1% of people, especially if parents, resonates and sticks to the learnings, I'd feel grateful. We are at the prehistoric moment of the Ahrimanic era. If we sow seeds now, there will be harvest in the future.
Completely not neutral regarding AI. Of course with the goal for them to understand how to use it, how AI learns, what models are, go through main names out there, how to create workflows to automatize work or perform work while not substituting you (your cognition) or anyone else, making you stronger and readier for what's to come, how to detect hallucinations, also privacy, ethics and responsibility (self-checks: is this prompt going to make me dumber if I continue relying on AI, impact on planet (the running faucet analogy, etc) and we will also enter a very much needed realization: what makes us Human needs to be clear now for good. It is not thinking, that's a delusional stuff that started in Illustration and which actually set the grounds for current rationale on Artificial Intelligence (intelligence as the epitome of a human, as the synony of thinking). It is not thinking what makes us human. It is BEING. It is something sacred regarding Life.

Good piece, and spot on in my estimation. I tend to view this kind of behavior through a Catholic social justice lens. Doing so, highlights the offenses against the dignity of the human person and the common good that are implicit in such practices (e.g., treating humans as data sources, eroding truth, devaluing human work, spreading confusion, and creating new forms of social inequity). This is the bad that can happen, is happening. Is the ‘good’ we’re looking for worth it?
Thanks. This was an interesting read and has me thinking much deeper about how I approach my interactions with AI models.

Where would you point someone to for quality Ai literacy?
