Generative AI Is a Parasitic Cancer

When AI removes the opportunity to connect with people or see other peoples work directly and instead read or consume just generated content seems like a scary sad future.
Just as an example reading an answer from someone in StackOverflow usually comes with the feelings and thoughts about the person who wrote it, why they wrote it, feeling thankful that this one person solved that problem that bothered you. But all of that is going away. I can't upvote their answer, I can't even appreciate them, I won't ever know who supplied that context to AI.
Now you could argue that, with AI, you will never need anyone to tell you anything, because you may never even do anything that needs an answer from someone. I hope that day never comes.
