Researchers in this article make an argument against the use of AI in the scientific process. They believe that the sheer volume of academic articles being produced is putting an immense strain on the peer review process. This limits the capacity for in-depth thought and confuses scientific progress with a skewed notion of academic productivity—scientific progress is quantified by the number of articles produced.

Research has found that 90% of studies on AI development, as well as 86% of the resulting patents, involve human imaging. This means that data used to train AI models are well suited to being used in surveillance applications by military, law enforcement, corporations, and other private actors. There is also substantial evidence to suggest that much of the research that created the current models were funded by government and military agencies.

Meta was accused of violating fair use agreements. Writers Sarah Silverman and Ta-Nehisi Coates had argued that the Facebook owner had breached copyright law by using their books without permission to train its AI system. It was later decided in court that fair use agreements were not violated because of the prosecution’s inability to prove how this would cause market dilution by flooding the market with work similar to theirs. This may, however, be a case of not making a compelling argument in court.

Because the technology simulates sentience, it removes the ethical imperative of considering the deceased as an irreducible other, fostering attachments that may displace living relationships and misrepresent the dead. While the author concedes that tightly regulated, consent-based applications (e.g., helping a child imagine a deceased parent) might offer therapeutic value, the prevailing danger is that griefbots short-circuit the lifelong, relational work of mourning. Psychoanalysis, the article concludes, must scrutinize these “post-human” tools to preserve an ethics of otherness in a culture increasingly tempted to outsource grief to machines.
