The alarmism around AI is just a marketing spin.

As @pluralistic@mamot.fr wrote: that's "mystical nonsense about spontaneous consciousness arising from applied statistics".

Real problems we face with AI are:

Ghost labor, erosion of the rights of artists, costs of automation, the climate impact of data-centers and the human impact of biased, opaque, incompetent and unfit algorithmic systems.

Yeah, and in no way could it. Just ask how many words are in its reply and it will say, "There are 37 words in this reply." It's not even vaguely convincing.

Yeah, it should just say "Why would you ask me such a stupid question? Count them yourself."
