The Ai Con

For irony, yesterday I finished reading The AI Con, on the same day ChatGPT 5 was presented.

As the title says, the book talks about the cons of AI: environmental issues, exploitation of people, copyright, educational problems, political problems, and so on.

I understood that a book like this can feel anachronistic nowadays (especially for AI fanboys — not for the people who really study the topic and are actual experts, but they are few), but I still recommend reading it.

One advantage of the book compared to AI is that you can hear different perspectives.
