But you know I'm not AI because I do not say things like one zero percent rather than 10 percent or some other such thing that lets you know you're listening to an AI generated voice.

That is to say, something not human.

I dislike this very much. I especially dislike that it is propagating like black mold in a water-logged basement, which is to be expected not so much because the technology exists to do this but because it's cheap and people are lazy and greedy.

Why go through the hassle of putting together a video or podcast when AI can just conjure one up far faster?

This is worse than it sounds because it is more than just the AI helping. It is the AI doing everything. In other words, what you are listening to – and viewing, too – is our replacement in progress. Who needs human actors when they can be AI-rendered as simulacrums almost indistinguishable from actual human actors, just as AI-generated scenes and special effects are almost indistinguishable from the real things.

Some will say I'm just a computer-phobe who hates what he does not understand. Maybe, but I do not think so. This is not like the guy with the horse railing at the Model T, hoping it'll all go away and things can back to as they were.

Model Ts were made by humans for humans. This AI stuff is the replacing of humans altogether, except as passive receptacles of entertainment, all of it artificial. This seems to me as anti-human as it is possible to imagine because passivity is the death of everything that makes a human something other than a meatsack. Cattle stare blankly at you from the other side of the fence. Do they ruminate over their eventual disposition? Probably not. It has been bred out of them. They are unnatural animals now. Just as humans are on course to becoming.

I do not want to listen to a voice that isn't human – or watch human-looking constructs that are not human. I am not interested in anything "AI" because I am still an I and got-damned determined to remain one.

I've mentioned the Dune books by Frank Herbert, recently brought back to the big screen in politically bowdlerized iterations that focused on diversity rather than the thing that Herbert focused on in the books, which was what he styled thinking machines and the dangers of them. The premise of the book is that these thinking machines did just exactly what they are beginning to actually do right now and (in the book and probably in our reality) inevitably enslaved humanity. A great war against these thinking machines was fought and eventually won – at great cost. The humans who survived agreed that thinking machines could never again be allowed to threaten humanity.
