Comment on AI is Anti-Human (and assorted qualifications)parent

Comments

It's already too entrenched to revert without a broad anti AI consensus that doesn't exist. I can imagine the body politic suddenly seeing the light but that's fantasy. You could have as easily rolled back smart phones in 2009 based on vague warnings of future social damage.

I don't see that - I do see failed projects, negative returns, and general disillusionment.

The only thing propping it up is the sunk cost fallacy, on now a biblical scale, requiring ever more hype to cover the rising disappointment (ChatGPT 5 when??). The blowback from the inevitable collapse will be similarly biblical in proportions, a wise strategy would be to avoid it all (as an individual and/or collectively at some level).

In fairness, there are / will be some areas where LLMs have business benefit, but likely those areas will be limited, and the 'AI stuff' will be hidden from the user.
