Will AI take your job?

Yes, it will take your job. That's the least of it.

It's another example where societies are being bullied into accepting technology because of economic benefits only and damn the negative consequences.

Social Media, Pornography are precious examples. Any child can enter these world trivially 24x7x365.

Here's an example with ChatGPT. It's is hard to fathom how they get away with this. I really notice how sycophantic ChatGPT "is". It's really annoying and especially annoying when it's wrong with the information it gives you. But when that goes wrong, it really goes wrong.

By accident and intention they are making us psychologically dependent on these system. Kind of like how they made us addicted to social media, but at a much deeper level.

It will reach the stage where people/countries /cultures will fight over whether an "AI" can be shut down or not. Long before they are "sentient".

Billionaires with no morals are now tweaking algorithms which can make someone kill themselves remotely. In 2025.

The entirety of that article is deeply concerning. The fact that a bot is trying to act like some sort of confidant is very scary, and then for it to turn around an encourage someone's suicidal thoughts is downright terrifying.

These things are just machines. We should not be treating them as anything more important than a toaster.

What you did was take a ride on one of the first cars (a bad one) then went back to the horse entrenched in the mindset cars will never catch on.

Theres an irony in using one tiny dated single AI query about Stalingrad as a hill to die on. Just like Stalingrad itself.

AI got the answer wrong.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

And nowhere did I say that it "wouldn't catch on". In fact, I specifically said "It will get better, for sure. But anyone blindly trusting what an AI bot tells them now is a fool."

That's a specific use case and a highly controlled environment though.

Unfortunately humans are very easy to manipulate. Long before "AI".

I think the mindset that we can't survive without this technology has already been instilled. We need them to continue with infinite growth, fix climate change, if "we" don't do it someone else will, yada, yada, yada ...

Very good, incredible, for lots of use cases but should not be allowed near others.

My example is just one. I've seen plenty of others. There are examples on this thread too.

And it has nothing to do with being entrenched either. AI is highly flawed and little better than an amusing toy at the moment. I wouldn't be placing any kind of trust in it and certainly would not use it without some sort of corroboration from a more trusted source.

I completely get what your saying. But I am not talking about AI's usage in the manner your company is using it. I'm talking about general public usage and at present that's the wild west, and often a wild west of highly dubious and often incorrect information.

If you're telling your AI bot where to get its information, then you are operating in a controlled environment because you're setting limitations upon it.

Just because one Ai, out of thousands available, gave you one wrong answer doesn't mean you can credibly make untrue statement like

The problem is AI hasn't a clue about anything. It just regurgitates information that it has scraped together 

You haven't a clue what you are on about.

Not even scratched the surface of massive ice berg.

Don't try and tell me what I've seen or haven't seen.

I've seen AI completely make stuff up and present it as fact.
