We hate it because it's not what the marketing says it is. It's a product that the rich are selling to remove the masses from the labor force, only to benefit the rich. It literally has no other productive use for society aside from this one thing.

You missed the high energy consumption and low reliability. They're equally as valid issues as stealing jobs.

It literally has no other productive use for society aside from this one thing.

I'd refrain from saying that AI replacing labor is productve to society. Speeding up education, however, might be.

I wasn't saying labor replacement was a good thing. You misread that.

And it falsely make people think it can replace qualified workers.

And it falsely makes people think it can make art.

I would even hate it if it was exactly how it is marketed. Because what it is often marketed for is really stupid and often vague. The fact that it doesn‘t even remotely work like they say just makes me take it a lot less seriously.

@just_another_person @corbin and it will inevitably turn into enshittified disaster when they start selling everyone's data (which is inevitable).

The „companion“ agents children in the 2020s and onward are growing up with and trust more than their parents will start advertising them pharmaceuticals when they‘re grown up :)

  1. they've already stolen everything
  2. other companies already focus on illegally using data for "AI" means, and they're better at it
  3. Everyone already figured out that LLMs aren't what they were promising "Assistant" features were 15 years ago
  4. None of these companies have any sort of profit model. There is no "AI" race to win, unless it's about who gets to fleece the public for their money faster.
  5. Tell me who exactly benefits when AGI is attainable (and for laymen it's not a real thing achievable with this tech at all), so who in the fuck are you expecting to benefit from this in the long run?
