    Yup, I’m surprised the bottom hasn’t dropped out from these companies yet. It will be like the dot com crash in the early 2000s I’m guessing. And they’ll act so surprised…

      Fuck no, it’ll be much worse than the dotcom bubble. If you want to be terrified, look how much of the stock market is NVIDIA and the big tech companies.

      Sorry to break it to you, but AI does have uses, it’s just they are all evil.

      Imagine things like identifying (with low accuracy) enemies from civilians in a war zone.

        What is discussed in this thread are LLMs, which are a subgroup of AI. What you are referring to, is image recognition, and there are plenty of examples where their use is not evil, e.g. in the medical field.

        AI as a concept has many uses that are beneficial!

        The beneficial uses are non-profit seeking uses, which are not the ones seen jammed into everything. Pattern matching is extremely helpful for science, engineering , music, and a ton of other specific purposes in controlled settings.

        LLMs/chat bots implemented by profit seeking companies and vomited upon the masses have only evil purposes though.
