> If it’s doomsday, it doesn’t matter whether I act as if it’s doomsday or if I look for opportunities

If everyone acted like this all the time, there'd be no point in unionizing or voting. If you suspect it might be doomsday, you should join other people who feel the same and do something about it.

It's probably too late to stop it from filling the internet with misinformation and spam, but it's not too late to stop it from taking the jobs of the people who produced the training sets (i.e. writers, open-source coders, etc.)

Since the training data is sourced from the web and from users, I've been wondering how difficult it would be to collectively poison these systems with junk data. I'm guessing it wouldn't take that many people to do it.



This isn't a categorical imperative. This is a decision for this individual situation. By "doomsday" I mean, an economic doomsday for privileged people like me who have had a pretty good ride for a while, not a literal doomsday for everyone. I also don't see any way of possibly stopping this.
