It’s not as though some of us don’t see the helpful applications of AI that do exist, especially tightly narrow applications, and not this “everything machine” general purpose nonsense that is a jack of some trades and a master of none.
Specifically, those general purpose agents are what CEOs are drooling over hoping to replace frontline employees with, not because it’s good, but because it’s “good enough.”
Further, employees continue to be actually cheaper than AI, which will eventually raise prices to match actual costs once they have a whole industry of business customers locked in.
It’s a tool and like all tools what matters most is who uses it and who benefits from it. Right now, the public does not benefit from it and therefore the public is against it. It only benefits massive techbro business titans who were already obscenely rich as it was. Now they want to become more obscenely rich at the expense of the American public’s livelihoods. Gee, I wonder why people are up in arms against it. Especially when it’s clear they want to make AI smart enough to replace all of us, because deep down they’re angry at creatives for being creative and having skills and since they can do computers now they think that means because a computer can effectively mimic a skill that means they have that skill. It’s how these dumbfucks who don’t know how anything works and lucked into billions need things to work to justify their own inadequacy while claiming superiority.
Fuck em all. AI will still be useful, even if they’re all dead, if it’s used to benefit society as a whole and not just a few. Just not as useful as they claim it will be, because they just desperately want slaves back and if they can’t have humans they will take a digital slave happily.
In my mind it’s the same idea as burning down your house to cook a burger. Yeah, you cooked the burger, but you literally destroyed everything else just to make it. Or you could just cook it on the stove.
With AI companies it seems they’d rather destroy the planet and poison the internet to a point of unusability just to make their AI models. Yeah, they’ll get their result, but they literally destroyed everything just to make it.
Personally I have nothing against AI and the practicality of it. I do, however, have a problem with AI companies destroying everything to achieve their vague goals of “the future.”

I really don’t think that’s even the case. From what I understand of LLMs, the idea that you could make one of these things conscious and able to act on it’s own is pretty unlikely, but the industry has leaned into that hype because people rejected a lot of recent tech trends (often because it wasn’t cost effective for most like 3D television or AR like the Apple headset whatever it was that sold so badly, even Zuckerberg’s beta on the Metaverse failed) and the last big one, social media, has been curated and controlled by media conglomerates behind the scenes so much that people were rejecting that as well finally. There is no new thing they can actually generate hype around other than trying to convince people these things will be conscious and not make mistakes. They’re riding it until bubble pops, it’s literally just a game of hot potato, but they also think if they can sink the US government at the same time they can take over. That’s why you have Bezos pushing the idea that taxing him won’t change anything which is absolute horseshit, because he thinks he’s going to be actually in charge of the entire northwest, soon.
