Tech bros love to argue that llms are the future just like the internet or electricity. Of course many of them love Ayn Rand and live in a fictional stupid bubble world but anyways; are they right? I guarantee there were studies showing we are dumber for using the internet, or GPS, or that cars are much worse than horses etc. That can be seen through history.
When it comes down to it, everything is a tool. But I feel ai will mostly be used for evil, where the internet is probably 50/50 evil and good.
It’s pretty simple. “AI” doesn’t actually exist.
The internet exists. Electricity exists. I fucking hate cars but at least they exist.
There is no “AI”. The various technologies that are falsely hyped as “AI” should be judged on their individual merits. It’s completely wacko to judge the “AI” enabled genocide of palestinians and the “AI” enabled manufacturing of fantasy images by the same ruler. It’s just more of the grift.
