Fuck AI

I wish more people would understand that LLMs are "taking" extremely few jobs away. The "chatbots can do a real job" narrative is just there to bump up the stock prices.

A real AI would incur massive job loss, but the job losses we're seeing now being blamed on AI are really just the same normal oligarchal greed at work.

I see not only an era of scamming that will break basic human trust systems but the reliance on it will riddle previously methodical fields like medicine, design and law with a barrage of flaws and falsehoods no one will check until they cause failures.

Not just jobs, but:

• Scammers that make convincing fakes
• Knock-offs that get your views before you realize that it's hollow slop instead of what you were expecting for
• Flooding the field of creative content with hollow stuff devoid of actual creative intent, mistaking verbosity and detail for quality creative content.
• Exploiting small communities that either let big tech walk over them in general, or they just have to bribe a few city managers at pretty modest prices.

I suppose the scammers are about the only arguably common downside between the AI boom and the dot-com boom, but it was at the time less compelling because it was such an 'alien' medium that people weren't trusted, whereas AI is corrupting a familiar medium with even more scam than people are used to.
