Fuck AI

I think there's more than one. Here are my predictions of the points on the AI spikeball:

1. The obvious fascination with dreaming about replacing their entire workforce with AI, so they don't have to pay anybody.
2. Making the tools to generate bullshit images and video mature enough that bad actors (i.e. themselves) can use them produce endless deepfake political propaganda. This last election cycle we had Trump howling lies about, "They're eating the cats and dogs." Next cycle, they'll be pushing actual videos of it as "proof." Mark my words.
3. Making said tools so widespread and prevalent that any actual evidence presented against big businesses, politicians, billionaires, and other big ticket criminals can automatically be waved away with, "That's just AI."
4. Developing the neural net/pattern recognition part of machine learning to the point that it will be used as a nationwide/worldwide spy network that automatically flags political undesirables (i.e. sane people, or anyone who disagrees with the regime) for harassment or arrest.
