    Change this out for any other technology that’s been innovated throughout human history. The printing press semiconductors the internet.

    The anti-ai rhetoric on this platform is becoming nonsensical.

    At this point it’s just bandwagon hate. These people don’t even understand the difference between llms and AIs and the various applications that they have.

      Any other technology? How about 3D TVs, smart glasses, blockchain, NFTs, the Metaverse?

        Yes. These all qualify. They’re all massively successful technologies.

        Well, aside from 3D TVs and smart glasses. But they’re generally innocuous. Yes I also understand that smart glasses es have privacy issues but then again in this day and age what doesn’t.

          If you think any of these are massively successful, I question what reality you are living in.

        Blockchains in an age of Trump choosing a new Fed chair after trying to have Powell arrested.

        Trust your government over software and cryptography, which has no basis in reality outside of the laws of physics and mathematics.

      Sorry don’t remember any of those other technologies using so much resources, raising prices for everyone else as they don’t pay the actual cost. And being wrong about stuff.

        They literally killed and excommunicated people after the invention of the printing press for producing unauthorized copies of the Bible. Figures like William Tyndale paid with their lives for translating scripture into English, challenging the Church’s authority.

        There is illicit material circulating freely on Tor, demonstrating that technology can distribute both knowledge and criminal content.

        Semiconductors underpin some of humanity’s most powerful and destructive technologies, from advanced military systems to cyberweapons. They are a neutral tool, but their applications have reshaped warfare and global power dynamics.

        You are fully entitled to dislike AI or technologies associated with it. But to dismiss it entirely is ignorant. Whether you want to believe it or not, we are on the precipice of a technological revolution, the shape of which remains uncertain, but its impact will be undeniable.

      Bullshit, fuck your false equivalency. This tech is good at generaating slop, propaganda, and destroying critical thinking. Thats it. It has zero value.
