I decided to cancel my sub to ChatGPT and will try Claude, but actually I'm starting to avoid anything AI related by now. I agree, still do not see it as anything more than image generators, chat bots, and very sophisticated forms of auto-complete essentially. I see nothing resembling human intelligence (granted that is a difficult thing to even define let alone understand). Also saw an interesting thought in a social media post, where the person was just saying that the industry itself rather than clients or consumers are creating the demand for so-called AI products. Their point I think was that most people are not even asking for these products and its just the people developing the technology and its attendant products who are forcing the product on society and marketing it with bogus claims and some kind of mysterious aura of how the technology is going to 'change everything.' 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d like to be hopeful with you that we’ll be forced to grow to a greater understanding of human nature or something but it’s hard not to be cynical. we still have oppressed people struggling for basic rights like trans people in the US, why would some computer be the thing that finally gets us to dig a little deeper? look also at the grotesque ways people treat other intelligent life forms that occupy this planet - with indifference, torture, exploitation. i genuinely struggle to see AI as anything but a tool of the powerful to further expand their brutal rule and enrich themselves. the people will get scraps to help them organize the files on the computer or write their essays or whatever. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prdctvsm Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 ^^ agree; AI (+ ufos, quantum physics & climate change etc.) invites us to supplant our entrenched & dogmatic rationalist hegemony, to better understand consciousness as a non-material, non-local phenomena 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
