this is the really ineffective head-in-the-sand reaction a lot of folks on Bluesky tend to have if you talk about any harm reduction-based approach to the reality that millions of people are using AI tools today. The current approach to critiquing AI is obviously not working, but they don't care.

Been debating writing my "AI is not going away" article about why people reacting with the "shut it all down" response are making it more difficult for people who want to build better user-empowering AI tools

Folks assume that in order to become profitable, AI cos must drastically cut quality or raise prices (i.e. the colloquial usage of enshittification) without fully grasping that enshittified platforms like Uber and Facebook aren't collapsing under the weight of their own contradictions anytime soon.
