From the article: > Generative AI is leading to real business growth and transformation. Among enterprise companies with gen AI in production, 86% report an increase in revenue1, with an estimated 6% growth. Most of that business growth is going to be in more vapid media for more effective advertising, which is why Google is investing in it. Is that really a good thing for anyone? I mean, of course it provides short-term economic gain for some but that is only because we are constantly modifying society to make it more lucrative to push consumerism as a way of life. We need less of this AI trash, not more. To be honest I am absolutely sick of this sort of technology that wastes enormous amount of energy, makes us more dependent on using more energy (which in some places that will be fossil-fuel use), and which does not give us any real benefit, especially if we consider that we could instead work on transitioning to a lower-energy economy. I believe long into the future, if someone looks back at us, companies like Google will be seen as the height of stupidity of humankind. If we have any intelligence left, we should dismantle this AI machine before it's too late.
