Generative AI will never be sustainable and even if it did, if doesn’t fix the ethical problems with the fact that LLMs are plagiarism machines that work by essentially bullshitting as best they can, or the collective brain rot they are causing. There’s already studies that are coming out about the negative impact of AI on cognitive function. AI also replicates and even exaggerates societal biases that exist against marginalized groups like women and POC because of the data it’s trained on and 1
