The consultation format was widely criticized for its prioritization of business interests, its lack of attention to human rights and labour concerns related to AI, and its disregard for deliberative public dialogue: the short, 30-day time window and specialized knowledge required to meaningfully answer many of the survey questions posed barriers to public participation.
In response, over 150 individuals and organizations signed an open letter urging Solomon to extend the consultation timeline, reconstitute the AI task force into a more equitable structure, and re-write the survey to better represent the concerns of a broader range of stakeholders.
I’m sure it’s more some recency bias and me just never looking for it until the em dash became an ai hot topic but I feel like the reason it comes off as potentially ai despite so many people talking about how often they used it before the ai debate is just that the average user does not ever use them.
I sure never have. Not saying that it wasn’t often used, but by and large the average person online did not use them nor ever know they were a thing before they started being used by ai.
