Key points

  • Anti-AI sentiment partly stems from distrust of big tech and political leanings.
  • The plagiarism argument has two forms: direct output of copyrighted content and complicity in training theft. Both are nuanced.
  • Concerns about deskilling echo historical fears about writing and calculators; AI may actually enhance learning.
  • Environmental arguments often piggyback on other criticisms; AI's energy use may be justified if it brings significant benefits.
