AI could be such a neat, useful thing. But nope, capitalists can't help themselves. Gotta use it to grift the internet with low quality content and steal from artists.

When it started to gain traction I thought it would be cool to use for research (not as a replacement, but as a supplement). I wanted to hook it up to my pdf library, annotations and notes and use it to usefully search through for connections, etc.. I tried a few ways of doing this, and it just sucks. It's so bad that Ctrl+f in Zotero to search though pdfs for keywords is far better.
Or even as a deeper search mechanism for finding new papers. But it fucking sucks at this too. Just hallucinations upon hallucinations. Every library search engine which hasn't even been updated since 2003 does it better.
That aside, no one has been able to explain away the environmental costs for the world's shittiest blender either. We will destroy the world so a student can plagiarize easier, corporations can lay off more people, healthcare can get shittier, and so some fuck can trick it into making big booba anime girls after the thousandth query. What a destitute failure.
Like bitcoin, it's stupid, environmentally costly and is a (shit) solution looking for a problem. There is nothing about it which is "intelligent". Silicon Valley is a blight on the world.
