    Yes they have made a fucking demon that needs to be removed from the face of the earth. A computer program less sentient than a virus embodying pure capitalist realist "reason" trained on texts emblematic of humanity at its worst due to the vagaries of capitalism. What the fuck have they done.

      Every time I hear "but it can be useful sometimes in specific niche cases" I still hear the crackle of rainforests burning so someone can jack off to the infinite boobs generator, because the previous boobs that were already paid for with previous burned rainforest weren't enough.

        You can host most stuff on a single computer these days but that doesn't take away from any of the philosophical ick

          The massive increase in electricity costs and carbon footprint is just the wide scale "AI" grifts pushed by the corpos that basically have free rein to continue doing so then.

            yeah the individual cost of anything is going to pale in comparison to the unsustainable wide-scale industrialization of that same thing. especially when it's something as exponentially costly as AI/techshit

              That's why I feel a deep groaning dread whenever some bloated tech company announces that its entire upcoming product line or service model is going to be "powered by AI." elmofire
