A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

And even if they do succeed in producing something useful. If you become dependent on a megacorp's AI to do your job, why shouldn't they charge you half your salary for the privilege?

That's what the boosters aren't talking about.

The chatbots are not profitable. They'll need to charge way more for usage at some point to actually make money; at some point investors are going to demand returns on their investments, and that's going to come out of user's pockets.
