Fuck AI

That's a good point- if they were truly making a superintelligence, it wouldn't be for sale, just like Coca-cola wouldn't sell their recipe. They're selling the shovels while insisting to corporate executives there's a gold rush going on.

In reality, Sam Altman appears to be a man who has created a machine that allegedly points out massive gold deposits. But rather than mining gold, he insists on selling machines that find gold mines.

I can't tell if I should be hearing George Carlins voice, or Jon Stewart.

This is why they disguised it as philanthropy early on. They suspected it would look silly if they granted everyone access to unlimited intelligence or whatever. They realized later on that people are much more stupid than initially thought so they dropped the act and became openly profit oriented in no time. It‘s crazy what you can get away with if you‘re bold enough.

Yes, LLMs are only good for hustling rubes. And making boring images. And adding propaganda to educational materials. And smelling out non-conformists. And convincing narcissists of anything you want...

I recently also said basically the same thing. If it was actually AI you could just describe an app and it would spit out a polished finished program in minutes. Instead it can write a few blocks of code at a time maybe, that might be complete garbage code or might work fine, total toss up.
