AI is a big topic these days and something I find myself thinking about constantly. It’s fascinating and mind blowing, but if I’m being honest, all of it just makes me incredibly sad. I know there is real hope in medical advances, research, and productivity and I keep trying to be optimistic, but I’m struggling wayyy too much with the cons. Besides the fact that the creative industry (like my job) is going to dramatically change or even disappear, I’m majorly concerned about environmental impact, the need for more data centers, copyright infringement, job losses, misinformation, privacy, security and so much more. I’m alarmed at the rate at which this is all being unleashed/forced onto the public with zero guardrails or regulations. In this post, I share my top concerns as well as how I plan to work and live in this day and age.
