In this post, Alice I. Cecile argues that hating AI is understandable but insufficient: the harms are real, the technology works well enough to matter, and neither boycotts nor bans are likely to make it disappear. Instead, she makes a case for “bitter hope”: targeted regulation, decentralised access, harm reduction, and a politics aimed at redistributing the gains rather than pretending the machine can simply be uninvented.
