Fuck AI

I don't hate AI, I hate the system that's using AI for purely profit-driven, capitalism-founded purposes. I hate the marketers, the CEOs, the bought lawmakers, the people with only a shallow understanding of the implications of this whole system and its interactions who become a part of this system and defend it. You see the pattern here? We can take out AI from the equation and the problematic system remains. AI should've been either the beginning of the end for humanity in a terminator sort of way, or the beginning of a new era of enlightenment and technological advancements for humanity. Instead we got a fast-tracked late stage capitalism doubling down on dooming us all for text that we dont have to think about writing while burning entire ecosystems to achieve it.

I use AI on a near daily basis and find usefulness in it, it's helped me solve a lot of issues and it's a splendid rubber ducky for bouncing ideas, and I know people will disagree with me here but there are clear steps towards AGI here which cannot be ignored, we absolutely have systems in our brains which operate in a very similar fashion to LLMs, we just have more systems doing other shit too. Does anyone here actually think about every single word that comes out of their mouths? Has nobody ever experienced a moment where you clearly said something that you immediately have to backtrack on because you were lying for some inexplicable reason, or maybe you skipped too many words, slurred your speech or simply didn't arrive anywhere with the words you were saying? Dismissing LLMs as advanced autocomplete absolutely ignores the fact that we're doing exactly the same shit ourselves, with some more systems in place to guide our yapping.
