I don't understand the cost:benefit analysis here. All this cost for some shitty chatbots? Even the more practical uses for AI just don't seem worth that cost.

It kind of feels like this is another symptom of wealth inequality where some people or companies are so wealthy that they can make unjustifiable investments like this.

I'd like to think that the AI bubble will pop and take these investors with it, but that's probably wishful thinking.

Capitalism has been the world-devouring AI the whole time.

Write me a 5 page article on why we should all stop using plastic straws to prevent global warming.

Great, let's increase pollution along with energy costs for the average person so people can have "advanced" predictive text algorithms and a new world of fap material. Literally, the worst "technology" since coal burning power plants.

“But but but… AI will solve the pollution problem!!1!”

In the end, indeed it will.
