I’ll just copy / pasta my comment from a different AI article from earlier today:
It’s about time that we call the hype machine what it is. Ed Zitron has been calling this out for more than a year in his newsletter and on his podcast. These charlatans pretend we’re on the edge of thinking machines. Bullshit. They are statistical word generators. Can they be made to be useful beyond that? It appears so[0], but useful other things are not available to be mass-adopted so far. Curing cancer certainly doesn’t appear to be near.
What I see is lots of folks who are angry with cut-throat, late stage Capitalism that exploits AI to hoarde wealth and fuck over the rest of us, not AI itself, which is just a tool.
But you all are so quick to circle jerk AI hate w/o taking a moment to step back & see the root problem.
LLM based chatbots have a lot of well documented shortfalls, and more generally, what is being promised is not what is being observed. If you also consider that none of the big players in the AI space are offering their product at a price where they could ever hope to break even, it’s reasonable to assume that a market correction is incoming.

Totally. The internet is a fad, too.
There’s two kinds of boosters of the LLMbecile grift: the grifters and the patsies.
Which one of the two are you?
Oh my lord, you ding dong. Try thinking for yourself once in awhile.
Ah. The patsy. Got it.
You e got nothing but baby brained insults.
You are a little fool. Good luck.
Just like NFTs.
NFT’s are useless crap. AI has lots of uses.

It’s goddamn embarrassing.
