Every time there's a new study on the negative impact of LLM tools on education, work, communications, and media, at least half the commentariat will always go "but you shouldn't throw the baby out with the bathwater, 'AI' has constructive uses!" even as they pretend to be 'critics'.
How bad do the effects have to get before they finally go "okay, yeah, maybe it is more bad than good"?
@baldur Some people are unable to process negative externalities weighed against immediate positive benefits until it personally affects them. Or competing demands require prioritization.
If saying "thing is bad" doesn't work then we'd do well to find another strategy, such as understanding what the positive benefits they think they get and figuring out alternate solutions for those.
If it's about productivity or reliance on making money then making life/health less dependent on having a job.
