I absolutely agree. I gave generative AI a chance especially since it was pushed by a few of my graduate level professors but it's getting a weird foothold and I can't help but see and hear more ill that it's doing to the environment, peoples safety, and their reasoning abilities. For me, a therapist, it's scary because people are using it to write notes or even "give" therapy. But what about the AI is therapeutic? Most of it isn't done well or correctly and it's also unable to think so it's giving bad information. It's usually keeping people in their "bubbles" or making things worse. Not to mention the need for human connection. So many issues in my field alone and it scares me to see what things will be like worldwide in just 3-5 years without restrictions and regulations.
I really worry about how data is stored. We have already seen the Meta chatbot logs get leaked, people's privacy was already invaded by corporations and now we have created systems where people willingly offer their most private selves.
This hasn't been peer-reviewed yet, but it's still interesting: https://time.com/7295195/ai-chatgpt-google-learning-school/
I hasn’t seen this one! Thanks for sharing; it's pretty damming that all these separate (albeit small) studies are coming to the same conclusion.
THANK YOU!!!!! I work as a freelance editor and I have to have this conversation seemingly every other day with prospective clients.

Thank you. I’m sharing this with my fellow teacher colleagues who are also alarmed about AI. Sadly, that number is small than you would hope .
my composition department redesigned our syllabus to be all themed about “using AI responsibly” 😭 it is devastating
