It’s not AI, it’s a super searcher. Once you ask it to start making decisions, or choices for you, is when you’ve lost the plot. I use it like that, just as a tool because it can aggregate disparate data much faster than me alone. I spend the time saved checking what it tells me, but I’ve found quite useful in limited situations with solid guardrails.
Yeah. “AI” is marketing jargon. It’s just a new, novel translation tool.
A big problem our society faces now is that the people who have the ability to shove a thing like AI into every corner of our digital lives are the same dingdongs that stand to gain from its widespread adoption. We essentially have no say in whether or not we want to use it, because we are locked into all their closed source platforms and if they want to make your phone into an AI slop bucket, they can and they absolutely will.
These freaks got too trigger happy though. They’ve been salivating for years for the next big thing after the cloud paradigm shift of the mid 2010’s. That was the last time tech got a major marketing lift and they’re pissed because they’re stagnating. Hardware is slowing down, everyone’s got a supercomputer in their pocket, everyone’s on the cloud, and they can only enshittify so much before people swap products (something capitalists fucking HATE is when they’re actually forced to compete on making a good product). This was the answer to their prayers. A shining star. A machine that steals what already exists and spits it back at you. Limitless ability to plunder with zero responsibility to actually build a product anyone whats to buy. It’s perfect!
But they fucked up. A healthy society could have taken the time to let this thing breathe and realized this is not the next big paradigm shift that will revolutionize the world. Well, it will, but only because they’re forcing it to. Cloud was genuinely a powerful tool. This is barely more useful than Google translate. Its widespread, forced adoption will mark the beginning of a series of deliberate self-owns that the tech industry inflicts upon itself in order to try and squeeze every last drop out of the internet and the people of the world until they enshittify their products so much that they will be literally unusable for their originally intended purpose.
As usual, I take solace in the fact that despite them being hailed as genius visionaries, these are truly some of the dumbest fucking people to ever live. Jobs was an abusive terrorist, but at least the guy had a cult of personality. These fucking dweebs are so comically repulsive, they are one hundred thousand percent guaranteed to fuck this up. If it didn’t stand to literally ruin the lives of many people I know and care about, I would be giddy at the thought of pointing and laughing at their sniveling piss baby faces when they cry and moan to the US government after they blow up the economy.
This is the answer.

Kudos, sir.
