It might be a technological innovation that creates actual negative productivity. Mass production of mush-mouthed corpospeak that says nothing at all bombarding

It might be a technological innovation that creates actual negative productivity. Mass production of mush-mouthed corpospeak that says nothing at all bombarding people nonstop. Some people will use AI to summarize the AI created bloat, each step creating hallucinations and missing more of the tiny nuance and inverted truth already inherent. Most will just become more ignorant and try to ignore it. The solution will be to increase the output of redundant communications to make up for the error rate and reduced intake. As it exists and is everywhere you can't just ban it away either. It is like steroids in baseball or adderall in med school, every other participate is cheating so you'll need to cheat just to keep up.

Yeah, imagine a world where your inbox is full of unwanted solicitations from salespeople. Sound farfetched? It may not be.

It'll have wins and losses but win in the end...AI is the end game for humanity. Whether we can assimilate with the machines or be killed out by them is yet to be seen. Hallucinations are like jpeg defects from earlier image models they got better, many of the greatest mines are working on it. Claude has improvement measures to cut back, one thing is as simple as telling it is you aren't certain an answer is accurate it's better to say I don't know that.... Ultimately in situations with outdated data it'll be on the corporation or user to ensure only up to date info is accessible or at least have a versions system like git to track changes so it'll know which document version carries more weight. As you said it's like Adderall or steroids....I think it's more like the Internet, how many business in 2020 had zero Internet presence? What about 2000? In the end we will get AGI and then super AGI which will be as full proof as a human could ever be with a team of researchers and fact checkers because it'll be genuine intelligence and able to know and discern more intuitively whatever it needs to know to get the job done.

  AI is the only domain where I have seen a large number of people rooting for the creation of an existential risk. Nearly everyone is horrified at the thought of nuclear war, climate disaster, or a genetically engineered super virus. Something like gain of function research is heavily restricted and still controversial. But so many people are YOLOing towards future AI developments. I guess the potential for robot butlers and immense corporate profits is worth the risk? Maybe AI never lives up to the hype, but a future conditional on AI transforming the world is not far from one destroying it.
