To mark the launch of GPT-5, and the fresh wave of people talking about this technology as if it's capable of thinking like human and even if it's not, it will be soon and it's inevitable and it's not actually stealing people's work, it's just learning like a human.
Here's why it's none of that.

AI Eroded Doctorsβ Ability to Spot Cancer Within Months in Study
Artificial intelligence, touted for its potential to transform medicine, led to some doctors losing skills after just a few months in a new study.
βThe AI in the study probably prompted doctors to become over-reliant on its recommendations, βleading to clinicians becoming less motivated, less focused, and less responsible when making cognitive decisions without AI assistance,β the scientists said in the paper.β

Three images on top of each other. Image 1: A photo of Adolf Hitler with writing that says, Second World War: 1939-45: 69 journalists killed. Image 2: A photo of US soldiers walking across a field with writing that says, Vietnam War: 1955-75: 63 journalists killed. Image 3: A photo of Gaza with writing that says, Gaza: October 2023-present 242 journalists killed* *United Nations figures
The targeted killing of Anas al-Sharif and five other journalists on Sunday means at least 242 Palestinian journalists have been killed by Israeli forces since the beginning of October 2023.
No conflict in modern history has seen a higher number of journalists killed.

"You shouldn't strike because you perform a service," seems to be the default response from much of the public. Oh, you're saying we should be OK with real terms pay cuts because we *checks notes* provide something the country needs to keep running. Sure, my landlord will be fine with that.

The only reason you assassinate every Al Jazeera journalist left in Gaza is because you donβt want anyone to document the genocide you are about to accelerate.
Any politician and any journalist who cannot call this genocide for what it is, is complicit, and I hope history remembers you as such.
