Keir Starmer's AI opportunities action plan suggests integrating AI deeply into society, but skepticism arises regarding AI's genuine benefits. Authors critique this view, suggesting AI technology, particularly generative AI models, does not innovate but instead acts as a mechanism for some entities to amass wealth by leveraging others' creative outputs. They argue that systems like ChatGPT merely replicate and repackage existing content without meaningful understanding, likening them to synthetic media or 'giant plagiarism machines.' The impact on creators, as highlighted by a survey, shows significant disruption to their livelihoods due to generative AI's encroachment.
AI, sold to us as a revolutionary technology, is merely a facade with major players poised to extract wealth from othersâ creativity and labor.
Generative AI, including large language models, should be seen as synthetic text-extruding machines, creating content without intent or genuine thought.
