Right. We’re really talking about two different things here aren’t we.
Is AI an ‘overhyped’ fad as many people seem to think? No. It’s a major tech revolution that, for good or for bad, is going to change life on earth forever. But it’s not surprising that many people can’t see that. I’m quite sure when the motor car first arrived, many people laughed at all its flaws and claimed that it would never replace the horse. I even remember trying to convince my dad that the World Wide Web was not just a fad.
Are some early investors in AI going to fail? It certainly looks that way. But some will succeed, and as always, a few filthy rich billionaires will get even filthier from it.
You might be surprised how few people share your opinions.
Sometimes great things are unpopular. But this ai stuff is being forced on us all everywhere all the time, and we cannot get away from it fast enough (or at all, unless we abandoned computers and the internet entirely, which we can also not do if we want to live and do business).
I can't remember a piece of technology shoved down my throat quite as hard as these slop generators.
I'm not sorry for wanting it out of my face. I never asked for this. I don't want this. Please, leave me behind as fast as possible.
I'd still like to use technology the way I did three short years ago. But we can't even hide this stuff. It's everywhere.
I recommend you sit and think about the wisdom of forcing technology on people who don't want it. Because it seems morally wrong to me.
If a sit-down restaurant forced me to order and pay with a tablet, I'd never go there again. If I sit down at a table and there's a tablet on it, the tablet goes facedown on on the seats.
Technology exists to serve us. At its best, technology is simply swapping one set of problems for a preferable set of problems. If technology doesn't serve us, I'm eager to let go of it.
You might notice the Amish still reproduce. Might want to think about that too.
