I wonder how much of the ire directed at AI is (a) jobs vs. (b) fears of surveillance vs. (c) annoyance at how AI was shoved down our throats without consent
Like we didn’t ask for our kettle bells and toaster ovens to connect to WiFi for app subscriptions and now AI feels like the same thing.
Basically the whole 'internet of things" (IoT) craze made products and every day living WORSE and even more expensive because too many things required apps, subscriptions and cloud dependency.
It was sold as “smart” and convenient, but mostly it just locked us into ecosystems and created new failure points. Now AI is conjuring up the same sense of deja vu - suddenly it’s in your search bar, your photo editor, your writing tools, your customer service, your car, and even your light bulbs.
The public never really opted in. It was opt-out at best, and often not even that. So I think some of the ire is Luddite rejection and exhaustion because all this was sold as inevitable progress but it's created instead, nostalgia for the old products and appliances.

I attended the University of Arizona commencement ceremony, where Eric Schmidt @ericschmidt faced boos throughout his speech. If you don’t know how young graduates feel about AI, this post is for you. The message is clear: it reflects growing skepticism toward AI narratives coming out of Silicon Valley. I keep coming back to one question for anyone building AI: are you building for humans? Build responsible and ethical AI. AI governance and compliance matter. (Speech excerpt.)

Stupid engagement farming nostalgia. No one would do this. We're not going to re-buy machines, get in our cars, drive to brick and mortar stores, pay for ONE movie we might or might not like, drive home - and then return it when we're done!
Sometimes technology is better.

Curious if anyone out there can claim to like writing these.

Writers, do you enjoy writing blurbs? Me: Not the slightest...

@realPeterCrerar I think we do it for publishing purposes since the average is 80,000? Need a target. But the painstokes? I’m not even OCD enough to count those 🤣

Why do writers track the number of words they've written?
That's like a painter counting brushstrokes.

@BerkeleyBooksWV Well, my library books often have “stains” in them. I try to read those pages faster so I can turn them. 🤣

Working on the novel and realizing my word count has gone from 97,000 to 90,000 with edits. I'm an overwriter, and people want shorter books these days, so that's a good thing. #writingcommunity

Fascinating stats on where you live as an adult and why. within 10 miles of childhood home, though, sounds depressing. Not because of a negative childhood, but when one phase is over, it's good to move somewhere completey different (n can be done within 100 miles, too)

Mr. French is wrong the majority of Americans have a profound sense of place, or belonging. In fact the majority of Americans live remarkably close to where they grew up. By age 26, nearly 60% live within 10 miles of their childhood home, and 80% live within 100 miles. Even when factoring in all adults of all ages, the typical American lives only 18 to 20 miles away from their mother.

@AnnaTizard I actually was amazed. It summarized really well, something that is a talent in writing that I don't have. But, of course, I tweaked and tweaked it and even reentered it with questions. To me, it's like working with a "free" editor. Not perfect, but a good rough draft.
English
@NutshellWriter You know, I did try that out of curiosity, but sadly I was not impressed with what it came up with.
English
Does anyone really struggle with writing a book blurb? I mean, REALLY struggle?
I feel like summarising is the complete opposite to what we writers normally do. 🤔

...unless you want to trudge through. It's your choice. No one's making you do or not do anything.

DNF'ing is NOT A SIN. Life is too short to trudge through a book you don't like.

So…how many hours a day about is that?
Michael Strong@flowidealism
If your child reads and writes for 5,000 to 10,000 hours before the age of 13, they're going to be more developed than a child who gets 1,000 to 2,000 hours in school and then goes home to watch screens. The math is simple. You can't really do enough reading and writing.

@erichhartmann Nope, but I’d be 100% confident it would be a cat or dog’s. Human poo would not even be an option.
