Raw LLM Responses

One thing I feel never gets talked about enough is the removal of people from productivity. It’s the new frontier of maintaining growth, removing labour from the operating costs. But should there not be a movement to guarantee a human footprint in everything? As a species we are driven by the urge to be useful and productive. It is actively bad for us to eliminate work. What that work is… is up for debate, but the idea that the shareholder class can take such a force for human wellbeing from us is actively a crime against humanity. Maybe we will all go into societally helpful industries, health and social care, teaching, creative pursuits like handicrafts. But in something like therapy for example, they are already trying to build language models that undermine that industry. As a practitioner, I resent the idea on principle. I work in human connection. Talking to an AI proves nothing in attempting to touch the humanity of others. It doesn’t bring people closer to other humans through example. Nor does it take responsibility when suicidal ideation is discussed. AI is never accountable, and its creators aren’t prepared to shoulder the liability involved. It should stay out of spaces where the builders of these models willingly refuse to accept the same responsibility that a human performing the function would.
