[I literally had this thought in the shower this morning so please don’t gatekeep me lol.]
If AI was something everyone wanted or needed, it wouldn’t be constantly shoved your face by every product. People would just use it.
Imagine if printers were new and every piece of software was like “Hey, I can put this on paper for you” every time you typed a word. That would be insane. Printing is a need, and when you need to print, you just print.
I absolutely hate seeing AI crammed into everything.
However, i don’t understand your logic.
If AI was in fact useful, it would be crammed into everything because everyone would want it.
So while AI is undoubtedly shit, its presence in everything is not evidence of that.
I think AI is doing exactly what it was cracked up to do: profit.
No it isn’t. OpenAI is losing tens of billions per year in net profit.
Capitalism is all about making the gains go to one group of people and the liabilities go to another, often unrelated group of people. Animal agriculture and fossil fuels are clear examples of that principle. I agree with hihnakukko, the intended people are profiting immensely.
Plus getting paid a wage or depending on a profit is for plebs. It’s all about stock options and bonuses.
If this bothers you, stop using the products.
Let us replace “AI” in that sentence with: soap, toothpaste, toilet paper, deodorant, condoms, cars, supermarkets…
None of those things are shoved in my face everywhere I look, online or offline.
Neither is AI, you’re just salty.
