    Why would anybody even slightly technical ever say this? Has he ever used what passes for AI? I mean it’s a useful tool with some giant caveats, and as long as someone is fact checking and holding its hand. I use it daily for certain things. But it gets stuff wrong all the time. And not just a little wrong. I mean like bat shit crazy wrong.

    Any company that is trying to use this technology to replace actually intelligent people is going to have a really bad time eventually.

      “Hey as a social media platform one of your biggest expenses is moderation. Us guys at Business Insider want to give you an opportunity to tell your investors how you plan on lowering that cost.” -Business Insider

      “Oh great thanks. Well AI would make the labor cost basically 0 and it’s super trendy ATM so that.” -Reddit cofounder

      Let’s be real here the goal was never good results it was to get the cost down so low that you no longer care. Probably eliminates some liability too since it’s a machine.
