How to burst the AI bubble: Strike at its roots

3 hours ago

Cory Doctorow's new book 'The Reverse Centaur’s Guide to Life After AI' addresses AI issues as a follow-up to his previous work on enshittification.
Doctorow distinguishes between 'centaurs' (humans augmented by technology) and 'reverse centaurs' (humans serving as appendages to uncaring machines).
He critiques the AI industry's trend towards creating reverse centaurs, such as Amazon delivery drivers monitored by AI cameras.
Doctorow highlights concerns about AI's role in fields like medicine, where over-reliance could replace professionals and shift blame.
