General Discussion

more stories on AI code causing problems for both businesses and government agencies.

We're close to having businesses find out that kids who cheated their way through years of school with AI are too ignorant and too habituated to cheating to be good employees. And at that point school administrators who caved to AI and AI companies earlier, whether from lobbying or FOMO, will feel pressure to get AI out of their schools.

The backlash against AI slop will continue to get stronger.

"AI-free" will become a better selling point almost by the day. I've already seen AI enthusiasts online objecting to anyone, any business, adding labels that something is free of AI. They don't want individuals or businesses who are more successful not using AI to make that widely known. They want customers to assume just about everything they buy involved AI in some way, so it can't be avoided and no one should even try.

There will never be an agreement that creatives will accept allowing AI companies to have as much intellectual property as they want for training data for genAI. The AI bros simply want too much. Some have made it clear they want to get rid of copyright and IP laws entirely. I saw one AI bro say that AI training is so important that businesses should be required to turn over their proprietary data for AI training, that AI companies need that business data.
