I'm not even talking about lawsuits, but all the situations where you can report things to the government, but it's so much hassle that most people won't even bother. Things like labor / safety violations, violations of data protection and anti-spam laws, improper parking, that sort of thing. If reporting those could be as easy as complaining and posting a photo on Facebook or Instagram, a lot more people would do it.
I am all for using whatever tools we have at our disposal to get things done. I use GenAI to automate/speed up a few tasks in my personal and professional life as well. However, the danger is plain; if I didn't already know how to do those tasks, I'd be leaving myself in the dark as to how they actually got done. As you can imagine, this just furthers what I call Dependency Culture, where we are at the mercy of having our decisions made for us because we don't understand the process.
There's a lot of (perhaps unfair) poo-pooing on GenAi, and I am guilty of it myself, but the fact remains that while it does make certain things like navigating a complex legal contract accessible to someone who is unfamiliar, the aim should be to use it to get familiar with said subject, ultimately reaching a point where the GenAI is no longer needed.
