Literature prof; author; current project: how literal readings of fiction by the tech industry are destroying the world. Let's read/interpret fiction as fiction. Boycott generative AI (chatbots etc); Website: https://www.socialrobotfutures.com/
Also the reason the tech bros are right on side...they call Saudi a "start up"...the AI industry and oil industry are super cozy

Effort expended on technical/policy fixes to the problem of fakes, scams, disinformation, security, are bound to fail as they never address the Orwellian premise that launched the AI industry--when imitation replaced thinking, deception was sanctioned, and the ‘altering’ of language was condoned.
