Generative AI could produce an analogous form of cultural homogenization, but at a much deeper level. Instead of merely making places look alike, it could make our ideas, language, images, stories and even ways of solving problems converge.

Philip Mai@philipmai.com · 2mo ago

If millions of people ask the same handful of AI systems to write, design, brainstorm or explain, the systems may continually steer us toward what is statistically familiar, polished and broadly acceptable. The result may be a world in which everything is excellent & increasingly indistinguishable.

That is the paradox: AI can make individual expression easier while potentially making collective expression more alike. The danger isn't that AI will make us stupid. It may be more subtle: it could make us vanilla. But people like vanilla.🍦

An Alberta school chat listed girls to assault. The response shows Canada still has a rape culture problem

The language used in response to gender-based violence erases who’s doing the harm and who’s experiencing it, making it harder to report on and easier to excuse.

I recently was asked to weigh in for news media on the Camrose Composite High School case of tech-facilitated gender-based violence, in AB. I was affected by its handling and students’ protests and I’ve written about it: theconversation.com/an-alberta-s... @theconversation.com

I commend the amazing Camrose students protesting rape culture, which appeared in peers’ misogynistic and violent online chats. The manosphere is leaving its mark on a society that already normalizes violence vs women, girls, BIPOC and gender-diverse individuals, and more. Way to speak out!
