And then everyone clapped... Blah, blah, blah.
And, I do not like AI.

Do I love my 4-year-old? Yes
Would I let my precocious 4-year-old full of imagination write my business report? Fuck no. Are you stupid or what?
McKinsey isn't exactly stupid, its amorality run amok and a culture of cutthroats.

Some people I work with when they do an internet search they go straight to the ai info. Literally read out the first bit of what's there and take that as the truth.
Great way to make yourself immediately untrustworthy

I think the research can be pretty cool. Every implementation has been kinda horrible.
The research/tinkerer community overwhelmingly agrees. They were making fun of Tech Bros before chatbots blew up.
I have made the conscious decision to try and not refer to it as AI, but predictive LLM or generative mimic models, to better reflect what they are. If we all manage to change our vernacular, perhaps we can make them silgtly less attractive to use for everything. Some might even feel less inclined to brag about using them for all their work.
Other options might be unethical guessing machines, deceptive echo models, or the classic from Wh40k Abominable Intelligence.

People around me use AI all the time to get answers to generalized topics. More and more they use it like a search engine / information augmentation system.
They are not technical people. They mostly know that the information needs to be double checked and might be wrong. But usually take it at face value if the importance is low.
Honestly this is about what they did before. They would search Google, click on the first blog, skim it, and repeat until getting some answer they believe.
I too use AI regularly for brainstorming, quickly summarizing massive text messages, and reformatting text from a jumbled mess into something more cohesive, etc.
I don't love it or hate it. In some cases it saves a lot of time and is useful tool. In other cases it outputs trash that we cannot use for any serious case.
Just like a hammer or a shovel, it's a tool. Can be used the right way and it can be used the wrong way.

The mudslide of AI slop on YouTube is like digital gangrene, the brainrot has gone down the stem into the organs. We're done as a species.
That was December 2024.
McKinsey & Company consulting firm has agreed to pay $650 million to settle a federal investigation into its work to help opioids manufacturer Purdue Pharma boost the sales of the highly addictive drug OxyContin, according to court papers filed in Virginia on Friday.
Drug dealer must sell drugs.
Personally I don't hate it but I just think there's really no urgent need for it. If they're using it to take jobs away from people well what is everyone going to do for work? To the billionaires think there's going to be a gigantic human die off and they're going to be elite class of 100,000 people and they'll be served by intelligent robots? If that's their angle good luck.
They all grew up on classic sci fi. And, being dumbasses, they took Solaria as an aspiration rather than a warning.
If you've taken a look at the Epstein files, you know exactly what kind of "work" the billionaire caste wants to force desperate people into.
Where’s the graphic?
