And yet, China is using AI.
…I… don’t know what to think about that.
…I really don’t.
Because it seems that AI is just a scam.
It may “exist” but what it can do is a scam.
Maybe China thinks we have to use it just to “keep up” with the Western powers, but I dunno.
Anyway, interesting discussion with Adam Conover and Ed Zitron. It’s long, but you can listen to it while doing other things. And the comments are interesting too, but then again, there are also trolls in the comments as well (AI supporters here and there).
Frankly, though? I oppose AI. I’m anti-AI. I’m anti-AI in China and anti-AI in America and anti-AI in the whole damn planet.
As you can see from people commenting in this thread and discussions elsewhere, someone with positive or negative opinions of AI will lump or leave out different technologies to determine whether AI is good or bad. So being pro and anti AI is probably too general a position to be meaningful.
That said the current ‘pro-AI’ push in global markets is clearly a naked attempt to expand on some mostly useless technology that needs to use a huge amount of expensive computing power after crypto mining fell through a bit and stopped filling this role.
