The name Ai should be revoked from use with most of the current tools represented as leveraging it. They aren't exhibiting their own intelligence, most of these AI bots are just scripted ETL models, and they're really just patching them as embarrassing "media incidents" pop up. The needless habit of modern IT to present itself as innovative through the use of incorrect terminology buzzwords is destroying trust in technology altogether. So are the political hurdles generated in getting simple and useful tools that truly aid human productivity rather than just being a gimmicky idea hidden behind user data tracking and a monthly subscription fee.
We have let too many fraudsters into tech, and that's what is eroding trust...From Elizabeth Holmes to Crypto, once people stop really respecting technology, you'll see a ton of scammy tools labeled as "Ai" popping up in traditionally trustworthy places like bootleg vape shops in toy stores. So many of these tools use copyrighted content curated outside of original EULAs from Reddit, The Web, Twitter etc... There are huge legal issues with stealing content from individual contributors as well that just highlight the opportunism and fraud in modern IT. They're very lucky regulators are obliviously ignorant to what is actually happening here.
What Tech Companies are referring to as "Ai" is being weaponized on consumers and humans (to raise the costs of living and to lower the value of human labor) more than it is helping them. This is the main reason people will increasingly mistrust everything associated with it moving forward.
This future isn't looking bright.
- nonrandomstring 3y ago> needless habit of modern IT to present itself as innovative Yes, the destructive potential of this competitive vanity, form over function, appearances over substance, is greatly underestimated. I think many people would not care if technology actually worked at all, so long as it gave the appearance of doing so.
