Techbro feudalists are all in on AI. They promised it would replace the human workforce and got initial investments and repeated support from money that should have been smarter then that, but the allure of firing all their workers proved too strong.

Now, they’re sitting on a trillion dollar house of cards. They’ll continue to fail upward. The correction will be delayed as they all move money between each other to cover bad investments.

At least Dutch tulips provided actual value. They could be planted and grow to be something real. LLM “AI” was always a scam.

Why would you think that? Look around, everything humanity does is absurd

"Hey, we got this new invention that kinda works if you don't stress it too much, so we don't really know what to do with it, but it's hype so we must include it somewhere prominently. Ideas?"

Like reinventing the wheel, only it's "intelligent" now.

"But we already have headlines?"

Of course that does not address the economical/political conspiracies involved here.

AI is a scurge on humanity & our environment, and so is Google. Use other search engines.

Ok wait... Can I use AI to change clickbait headlines into actual summaries of articles, without hyperbole, or people getting "slammed"? I am sure googles goal is only to create more clickbait, but if there was a way to do the opposite, that would be the first good use of AI I've seen.

Yeah, friend of mine did that as a hobby project 8ish years ago. You can do that with just a small self-trained language model.

So, with AI as in the current RAM-sucking, earth-boiling monstrosities that are being pushed? No, it's not a valid use case for that AI because it was already solved.

There was a story a few years back where a Danish guy made an extension to "Unbait" headlines on the particularly egregious news sites here. Of course they complained, i believe on grounds of copyright infringement, and I think they sued the guy.
