Paywalls fall thanks to AI Overview (Google search)
The NY Times teases a paywalled article, “A.I. won’t take all our jobs because it can’t reason like a human, Zeynep Tufekci writes.” linking to the article behind a paywall. Simply searching for [it can’t reason like a human, Zeynep Tufekci] provides a nice summary of the article, not only penetrating the paywall but also saving time and skipping the ads.
Could this be one use case that many opponents of “AI” can get behind?
By the way the article is disappointing to the point of self-contradiction. Tufekci assumes that management hiring and firing decisions, including “hiring” AI for jobs, include being aware of and caring about (the claimed without basis) innate human advantages. It goes on to point out more “immediate threats” leading to self contradiction. [1] Erosion of Trust: management is vulnerable to just this deception and likely to make poor decisions replacing humans with AI. [2] Management failures of ethical and moral judgment will result in the very loss of jobs argued against not being a major threat.
(Disclosure: I’m relying on the AI summary since the article is behind a paywall.)
