Comment on AI is your money becoming sentient
andallthat@lemmy.world 1 week agoI think that’s already uncomfortably close to reality.
A fully AI company was already tried as an experiment. There is also a company that appointed an AI CEO but I suspect this one is a publicity stunt.
Right now, various socials are full of AI generated fake engagement, images and videos. Meta is offering AI-powered ads. The obvious question I see asked every time, also here on Lemmy, is: if most of Facebook becomes a zombie world where comments and fake engagement is all LLMs, who would buy those Meta ads? That question was actually what inspired this wildly successful (-27 votes and counting!) showerthought of mine: this fake engagement only makes sense if Meta thinks we’ll give AI more and more agency to choose the products we buy and (eventually) buy them on our behalf. So it’s going to be AI convincing other AIs to buy. Our money becomes sentient, so to speak,
Crazy talk, right? Well…

Awesome! Facebook becomes nothing but AI, undergoes a singularity, and sucks capitalism in with it. Then we can just put it all in a box, bury it, and the rest of us live in utopia.
