The real issue is not only that AI doesn't work as advertised, but the impact it will have before this becomes painfully obvious to everyone. AI is being used as form of 'shock doctrine', where the sense of urgency generated by an allegedly world-transforming technology is used as an opportunity to transform social systems without democratic debate.

@davel @latestagecapitalism In other words, AI as it stands today is a weapon. Not surprising, since every other technology started off as a weapon. The nuclear bomb came before the nuclear power plant.

The question is whether humanity can ever recover from the weaponized form of AI.
