And just like that, the alienation of labour becomes evermore present.
Of course, this kind of process that abstracts away meaning and creativity from the work has been a thing for a while. After all, similar observations were already being made even by Karl Marx during the 19th century, and it'd be weird if similar stuff couldn't happen with regards to generative AI.
Of course, the way this works nowadays is substantially different than how it would have been for 1800s factory workers, but similar ideas and trends can certainly be seen here.
As for the idea that computer scientists should just had a self-imposed moratorium on things like generative AI, I'm sceptical that it could have ever worked. And now the cat is already out of the bag, so we get to enjoy the consequences. AI slop and all.
