The problem isn’t the “AI”. It is people praising its babbling as the solution for everything.

I’m not impressed by today’s AI and I also fully understand that the tech is going to completely upend society and will eventually be a part of our picture of utopia, or our picture of actual hell on Earth.
The people who are screaming it’s wild wonders and benefits are at least as closed-minded as the people who think we’re going to be able to put the toothpaste back in the tube. The actual direction this tech moves is going to be far more like the discovery of radio, in that at the time of it’s discovery and early implementation, the people then had no idea the implications down the road and we’re at the same point. Except the big difference and why this is contentious is that radio was far less dangerous to society broadly.

Sorry my post didn’t have Subway Surfers playing in the corner with a popular streamer reacting to it so you could actually read it and understand it.

I’m unimpressed by the people who use it.

AI tools are pretty good in Photoshop; they’re pretty good in copilot; Ukraine claims they’re good at guiding a drone to a Russian bomber (though they also hit decommissioned aircraft). I think you only see the use of less specialised AI used to generate low quality text and soulless images

I don’t care if people use it, I cannot stand when people wave it around like a new teddy bear that gives them a smug sense of superiority for… checks notes …using a product that someone is selling to let stupid people do easy things.

I’m sure they have trouble sleeping over that

They’re destroying humanity both physically and mentally, so I certainly hope so.
