  no offense, i understand what you are trying to say here. im not a massive fan of the implications of things like AI and its effects on society.

  but oversimplifying and infantalising your enemy wont stop it from out performing you.

  like i can say “all AI does it put words on a screen based on a statistical analysis and prediction algorithm based on context and available training data, and its only accurate between 95% to 97% of the time, and it lies when it doesnt know something, or wants to save power for the sake of efficiency and cost reduction”

  and it would still be far more likely to give a comprehensive breakdown and step by step analysis of systems well beyond my personal understanding. way faster than i ever could.

  we can chalk it up to stolen info and guessing letters, but itll still outperform most people in most subjects, especially in terms of time/results.

  dont get me wrong i dont think its intelligent in the way that a human can be, or as nuanced as a human can be. but that doesnt necessarily mean it cant be forever. and the way the technology is evolving across the board, seemingly faster and faster each day. with some plateaus here and there. its hard to imagine a world where we just say “well, we tried, its a dead end, oh well” and just completely abandon it for the idea of human exceptionalism.

  overall humans, as smart as they are, are also pretty fucking dumb. which is why we are ignoring things like climate change, for what are essentially IOUs made out of 1s and 0s (money). and also succumbing to a global increase in fascist ideals even though we historically know what it entails and how it ends. and its in part due to the ability of AI to manipulate the masses, in its current “primitive” state.

  i dont like AI, but im not going to pretend it wont be able to replace the output of most humans, or automate most jobs, or be used to enslave us and brainwash us further than it already has.

  the human mind simply cannot compete with the computational speed, and in some cases, quality, of what is, and what is yet to come.

  slop it may be, but if you cover the veritable feast of human creativity with enough slop, humanity will soon have no choice but to eat it or starve. everything else will get drowned out in time.

  something really fucking big would have to happen to change this outcome. ww3, nuclear war, solar flare. who the fuck knows.

  but what i do know is that those in power need the system to function as is, and in newer more efficient ways, while they still need us, in order for them to have the highest potential survival rate when it all comes crashing down at the end of this century. so, we may just avoid total annihilation unless its deemed necessary for their survival. lets hope we rise up before they take that opportunity.

    Also, 99% of the time, a simple “Give me a source on that”, will get rid of any inaccuracy or lies from the AI. Granted, that would mean people would have to use it as a tool, instead of trusting every word, which would invalidate most of the anti-ai people’s arguments.

    This rant made me realize people need to go work at a fucking gas station for a few weeks and find out how truly. Fucking stupid and uneducated the avg person is.

    LLMs even as they are right now are so far beyond what a very sizeable part of the world is in terms of intelligence and education. It’s wild how stupid a lot people are.

    And this isn’t even a recent thing it’s been like this for all of human history. People are for the most part God damn idiots. Some people are expectational in one or two narrow fields.

    And barely anyone is good at more then a few.
