Working on a draft. Is it too hard to lead with this?

The deployment of generative artificial intelligence tools has been a disaster for the human race. They have allowed a select few to gain "higher productivity"; but they have destabilized society, have made work transactional, have subjected artists to indignities, have lead to widespread psychological suffering for the hackers that build the tools AI companies rely on, and inflict severe damage on the natural world. The continued development of this technology will worsen this situation. It will certainly subject human beings to greater indignities and inflict greater damage on the natural world, it will probably lead to greater social disruption and psychological suffering, and it may lead to increased physical suffering even in "advanced" countries.

@cadey what's your target audience? if you're looking to change minds then I'd lead with a more neutral introduction, and then hit hard in the conclusion.

lots of people are making lots of big claims about AI, making it hard to know what to believe, so I'd make sure to back up any points with hard data and reasoning, especially about externalities against nature
