:::AI summaries in search lead to: Loss of independent journalism.[https://www.404media.co/the-medias-pivot-to-ai-is-not-real-and-not-going-to-work/ The Media's Pivot to AI Is Not Real and Not Going to Work] Loss of review sights. Reviews provided by AI regurgitate manufacturer specs, give incorrect information about products, give questionable recommendations.[https://housefresh.com/beware-of-the-google-ai-salesman/ Beware of the Google AI salesman and its cronies] I haven't seen sources on this, but I see no reason why sites that post repair information/fora would be exempted from this widespread pattern. | :::AI summaries in search lead to: Loss of independent journalism.[https://www.404media.co/the-medias-pivot-to-ai-is-not-real-and-not-going-to-work/ The Media's Pivot to AI Is Not Real and Not Going to Work] Loss of review sights.

:::While not as far as I know related to AI, Mr. Rossman recently noted that his repair business is no longer listed on Google. He said that is a big deal for the size of a repair business like his. That may make it harder for people to exercise the right to repair.

:::Definitely consumer concerns and therefore I think worth mentioning. The cost of AI is largely hidden. Simply acknowledging that these are consumer concerns with AI, and pointing to good places to get started with the issues. In an overview article, if we only list "new" consumer concerns, it may make things needlessly difficult for the reader. | |||
:::Data Centers. Electricity rates are projected to go up precipitously because of AI. Pollution and greenhouse gasses affect everybody. (MS, Google missing carbon reduction goals because of AI.) Tax subsidies are paid for by broad segments of the population. | |||
:::Labor concerns. People make choices about clothing brands based on how the people making the clothes are treated. Why should it be different with AI. Just because I am not the person getting [bleeped] by the corporation, doesn't mean it is only between the business and the employee. Sure, not everybody cares, but I think clippies might.
