Ehh, I don’t like the tulip comparison because that situation had nothing to do with hating the working class. The AI craze can only be reasonably explained by a deep contempt and hatred for workers. The capital class is so desperate to replace us that they will jump on any opportunity to do so.

AI is the 2020s version of Tulip Mania. It’s just fancy Google that elaborates, but you can’t trust the results it gives you, because it lies worse than my five year old on his way back from a late night trip to the cookie jar. It makes funny pictures of Mario committing 9/11 and all sorts of useless funny stuff that has kids smoking cigarettes at McDonalds with hot dogs for fingers. Which is great and all, but I can’t figure the last time I actually needed a picture of kids smoking cigarettes at McDonalds…
And it sucks and you can always tell when something’s AI because it’s crap. Boomers can’t, but they also can’t do most other things, so I mean that’s not really a reliable metric of its actual success either.
Boomer fuel is all it is. The new paperless society. It’s going to take my job, except my job will be on my doorstep a month later begging me to come back.

That’s a contradiction: either it’s “fancy Google”, or “it lies”. Can’t have both at the same time.

It will give summaries of search results with links (fancy Google), but also those summaries will be inaccurate (it lies)
