I am just complaining. my professors are constantly like, “you should use AI to research this! ask AI how to do this in excel! employers are going to expect you to use AI to work more efficiently!”
they at least acknowledge that it’s inaccurate and you always have to check it, but there’s no mention of ethical implications, environmental impacts, the danger this bubble poses to the economy.
I hate it so, so much. I had a professor tell me that I can write, which is good, so I can prompt AI, which I didn’t find especially flattering as far as “compliments” go.
I’m just so tired of it, guys.
The AI bubble isn’t gonna pop. It’ll calm down at some point, but it’s working as intended. They’re removing peoples jobs and the AI is doing just as good of a job.
Remember, humans aren’t error-proof either. So this argument of “AI is wrong all the time!” doesn’t really reach the ears of the people in corporate – because people are wrong all the fucking time too.
And unlike people - they don’t have to deal with AI posting racist shit outside of work and causing massive problems for the company, etc. People are shit, the way people act are shit. Half of them are not just shit, but actively barbarians working against society.
Honestly, I trust any random person I run across on the street as far less trustworthy than even the smallest of AIs
You realize that AI is trained on people, right? And the technology is only as capable as its training data, it’s still not able to extrapolate from incomplete or flawed data to produce anything original.
By its very nature, the current generation of AI can at best only ever be as smart or as trustworthy as its training data — and it rarely ever performs at that theoretical ‘best’.
I don’t think people fully understand how much money AI is currently losing and how much it would need to make for this investment to pay off. I think a lot of people see numbers in the billions and don’t really think about it. There aren’t even a billion miles between here and the sun, not even 10% of a billion miles. And we’re talking about hundreds of billions.
You might just think, well money is fake anyway, and yeah, true, it’s our faith in it that’s real, sorta like AI, and that can collapse.
Mechahitler would like a word lol! But seriously, AI is about as racist as what it was trained on: reddit lmao.
It’s actually so much worse than that. OpenAI has already promised 1 trillion dollars to its various partners over the next 5 years.
How the everliving fuck is a company with $5 billion in revenue going to find ONE TRILLION FUCKING DOLLARS by the end of the decade?
oh jeeze, I’m behind again. Every time I turn around I feel like it gets more ridiculous. They’re gonna start just making up numbers because they know no one will call them on it.
Bro we’re gonna give you a bagillion dollars over the next 6 months11!!
That’s an interesting perspective, and I appreciate it, however:

I know that’s not exactly what you were referring to, but it’s arguably more serious, because it tends to go unnoticed.
