    This is my take too.

    People were probably making the same jokes in the early mainframe era of computers.

      They did not. Computers were able to do things that were almost impossible to do by hands.

      LLMs don’t do that. They regurgitate what we’ve been doing for decades.

      They’re great to brute force some problem tho. You give them shitloads of data and they’re incredible to go through it.

      Problem is, we took a REALLY unfinished tech and tried to package it as the saviour .

        The “ AI as a savior” was only ever a marketing ploy to encourage enterprise to fall entirely and foolishly into the arms of SaaS, which then forces the consumer market to follow suit.

        The fascists have built their panopticon.
