"CNN used the word 'savage' 13 times, 'barbaric' 56 times. MSNBC used the word 'savage' 23 times and 'barbaric' 46 times. These words were never once used for Israel. The words 'slaughter' and 'massacre' were reserved exclusively for Palestinians killing Israelis." fair.org/home/they-ne...

Now, there are certainly good questions about whether applying generative AI in some productive and creative contexts *prevents* you from putting in a level or quality of care that you would still be able to do if the task wasn't automated.

AI (LLMs specifically) as a technical system doesn't force people not to care about what they are doing (e.g. you can absolutely use LLM agents for coding and put a high level of care in to the work), but AI as a social phenomenon sure does seem to be a driver toward increasing careless production.
