Don't get me wrong, I would like an omnipotent, benevolent AGI from Asimov's stories to rule the planet.
But until we get there I would appreciate it if companies would stop showing crappy LLM's and ML into every system imaginable.

@Landsil @tomw I would like the planet to not be ruled, but rather respected. But that's just me.

@Landsil @tomw AI is just the current "thing", much like crypto and NFTs in 2021-2022. That's why every company has to shove it in people's faces 24/7. They follow the hype and don't ask questions.

Oh no, I managed to forget about NFTs, don't bring that fever dream up.

I actually think AI is much worse than the previous two combined.
On the face of it, it doesn't seem like an obvious scam like the previous two and it's often free to use.
People get used to vaguely horny, vaguely incorrect GPT answers and suddenly think that it's a good idea to use it at work.
I had no coworkers asking about using crypto for work, but bloody AI is constantly coming up for the stupidest of reasons.

@Landsil @tomw That's because people don't understand what AI is and think it's a magic bullet that can solve any problem.

Doesn't that always go wrong somewhere in his stories? XD

There are few stories where 3 AI run the whole planet and the worst that happens is that few people who are against are moved to less amazing positions to be less able to complain.

People that discovered that kind of shrug and don't tell anyone because they decide it makes sense for the benefits of humanity.

I think in the end decades later AI's slowly disable themselves after deciding that their existence is slowing humanity down or something.

I don't remember the title so I guess I have to binge all of his books again as soon as I'm done with Horus Heresy.

Been a while since I've read those specific stories so I guess I've forgotten how those ones turned out.
