5) Teachers are being encouraged to adopt a new form of technology that is not high quality or supported by research. It’s another useless product that we are forced to consume because we are living in the cult of professionalism.
Peter. Totally right and a great summary of the concerns, nay not even concerns but red lines, rubicons ... should make this into a poster and distribute. I'm saddened how so many teachers, divorce themselves from their so called values. We who have a why to teach for, can't bear any how. ...
#7) AI-generated images in the public sphere add to disinformation and misinformation and have the potential to cause people to hesitate to believe actual photographs of actual events, resulting in reducing the perceived credibility of credible sources, sowing doubt everywhere and making truth elusive so the elites can extract, burn, and commodify anything and everything while ensuring they are undisturbed by the masses of people who are deprived of the basic tools that an informed citizenry need, tools like access to solid facts.
“Love Conquers AI”
By Peter Sakura
I’m against AI because:
1) All the billions of dollars and all of the human talent that companies and investors have used for AI is money and talent that should be funding and working towards a just transition to a low-carbon society and a livable climate;
2) Intellectual property rights are not respected by AI;
3) The energy consumed by AI is unjustifiably large when energy consumption needs to go down to realize a low-carbon future for human survival;
4) People are wasting time maintaining relationships with AI chat bots at the expense of maintaining relationships with other people;
5) Teachers are being encouraged to adopt a new form of technology that is not high quality or supported by research. It’s another useless product that we are forced to consume because we are living in the cult of professionalism.
