       In my bleaker moments, it really does scare me how wildly far our culture is from proper regulation to *protect people* against the abuses of LLM-based technology.Yes, I'm using the A word. I find the idea of being forced to engage with genAI to be abusive.You want me to *read generated text* or *watch generated video* and I don't have a “choice” in the matter (because it’s part of the some societal process like applying for a job or getting healthcare)? I consider that a form of harassment.

       Imagine being *forced* to sit in a room everyday filled with second-hand smoke, and you're actually allergic to tobacco.Or imagine being *forced* to work in a factory with asbestos, knowing your lungs are on a clear path to toxic disease.We rightly understand these are violations of human rights. There have been hard-fought battles to protect people against these ills. In some cases it’s *still* an issue (asbestos is all over even now!).I feel the same way about slop. *It’s a hazard.*
