    It’s always been about addiction and control. Ai’s purpose is to be Facebook on steroids.

    Even if you know it constantly lies, manipulates and censors, it’s everywhere, and soon you won’t be able to turn it off on your phone. It’s a machine, and it will wear you down and manipulate you, till they control your every thought.

    It’s not about answering your questions, it about owning you in body, mind and soul.

      Exactly, it’s about that age-old tendency of humans to enslave one another. AI is simply the latest and greatest type of shackle.

        I’m not sure I buy that part. I’ve been testing all the big names for about a year. If I know the answer they are always wrong. They fuck up and lie so much they are useless. And when Microsoft used them to “fix” window it just fucked it up even worse. I’ve never encountered one in the wild that actually can do a job.

          You’re looking at it from the wrong angle.

          If a billionaire says AI replaces you at your job, but the AI fucks up 100% of the time, but humans keep buying the fucked up product, then the billionaire is happy.

          I didn’t say the AI was better than you at doing the job. I said it replaced any value you have as an employee. It may only do your job with 40% accuracy, but it offsets the value by costing $0 an hour.

          There’s a scene in Idiocracy where a woman puts her credits into the machine. The machine is supposed to dispense a product, but the machine malfunctions. Dispenses no product. This leaves her with no more credits, but also no product.

          In the billionaires eyes, this is better than paying a retail employee to dispense the product. It’s not better for the customer, but its better for the billionaires.

          This is the world we’re heading towards.

            LLMs absolutely do not cost $0/hour. They’re heavily discounting it’s actual cost in order to gain users and even that discounted price is cost prohibitive in many cases.

              Well, I meant to the billionaire owners. Yes, the electricity and all that money to keep the data center up and running is resource heavy, but these companies are also getting kickbacks from the cities they build these places in. Tax free, plus grants from the government. That’s why they’re pushing it so hard. Cut the tax loopholes, cut the grants, and yes it’s extremely expensive. But as it stands, they aren’t the one footing the bill. We are. As tax payers.
