If you support unions (DUers should) but still think it's OK to post AI slop, see the hundreds of Bluesky replies

57. A forum just for posting AI slop and talking about how wonderful AI is would be an even worse look

for a board representing a party that traditionally backs workers exploited by corporations. There's no way around the two central economic facts of genAI - that it's built on stolen intellectual property, and that it's intended to replace human workers.

It's important that DUers be aware of AI and the harm its doing, and of how ruthless and amoral and/or crazy the AI bros are.

And DUers need to know how to recognize and avoid all the AI clickbait now flooding YouTube, and all the AI scams elsewhere - the AI-generated music on Spotify and other streaming services, the AI-generated books on self-publishing platforms like Kindle, the AI scam ads on Facebook offering to sell seeds for plants that are really exotic looking because they don't exist. The AI-created fake news sites.

AI has booby-trapped much of the internet in only a few years. And the AI bros are aligned with Trump. So we can't just ignore it and try to pretend it isn't there.
