(40,507 posts)Personally, I'd rather skip the one where oligarchs are asking their AI assistants to update their enemies list each morning, ranking these enemies in order of potential threat.
That's probably happening already. It would be best to put an end to that sort of thing now.
In any case, I haven't seen anything from AI but an increase in the amount of gibberish spilling into my universe. It was bad when 100% of that gibberish was generated by people. Now that machines can generate gibberish it's much worse. I probably have more than 90% of the internet, by volume, blacklisted for that reason. Most of my mail, electronic or paper, goes straight into the trash. I don't see advertising on my television or my computer.
I'd like to live in a world where I don't need a "smart" phone, a "smart" car, or a "smart" anything else.
I'd like to live in a world where every detail of my life, including my shopping, internet browsing, and travel habits are not stored in some giant data center, only available to a chosen few and their lackeys, some who might see me as a potential threat to their own political and financial power.
What percent of those AI generated press releases, internal documents, and PowerPoints are bullshit?
Churning the slop does not make the world a better place.
