What has AI changed so far?

  • Hardware prices are so far up that nobody can buy good hardware anymore
  • we have AI child porn now, awesome
  • we have AI undressing apps, cool
  • we have AI, the great cheat tool now † we have AI, the confidently wrong 20% of the time tool
  • we have AI, the great misinformation tool
  • we are at the brink of the largest economic collapse in human history caused again by the rich loving to play Russian roulette
  • there are a limited amount of actual useful applications as well, yay

And all it cost us were millions of jobs, thousands of psychosis and deaths, hundreds of new loud polluting data centers, untold amounts of co2 when were right smack in the mids of a climate crisis...

I'm not advocating for murdering the AI CEOs, but I'm definitely a fan of at least permanent tarring and feathering

    Only pro is laborious, tedious programming tasks have become significantly faster to do, along with testing edge cases and stuff a programmer should be able to do but maybe doesnt need to.

    Just about everything else is negative.

    If it weren't for the overwhelming harm and the insane ramblings of those pushers, we could actually rationally discuss all of the useful things that can be done with it. There are plenty - its a pretty good tool in any engineers toolbox - but there's no point in itemizing them because the much greater issue is the ai psychosis taking over our entire financial, economic, and governmental systems.

    Oh yeah, all that is definitely worth the list of negatives

    Don't get me wrong, there are good applications for AI, but its damn near literally 99.9% utter crap versus the 0.1% "oohh, really actually nice!"

    Is it worth it? I'll say a million times no. I wish we never got any of this AI trash, because I'd still have a job, I'd still be able to buy hardware, I would have to worry about people making porn videos about me daughter, my family wouldn't have to deal with AI scam calls, I'd still be able to host a nice website without it being slaughtered by AI bots, and I can go on for a while.

    The very little pros do not even make a dent in the negatives
