I've seen AI push people to their death. Puppet the souls of the dead to sell to the grieving.
Saw it steal the faces of the innocent to sate the perverted and their wallets.
I hate AI not out of nostalgia for a now dead internet. But, because It's a system out of control.
You won't write great stories without experiencing life and having at least a modicum of interest in other people. Creating in a vacuum is an act of vanity and narcissism.
