I'm quickly developing a large dissatisfaction with "AI" and it has escalated violently in the past weeks. I'm tired of it. LLMs are a great innovation with so many amazing applications and the idiots sets of to use them to generate empty content, scams, remove artists from their livelihood, anything that will maximize profit, without even a second thought to the potential damage.
The straw that broke me was after a call with my dad the other day, he wanted help to identify a scam (an AI assisted scam obviously). After that call I've come to realise that all trust is quickly being removed from society. The internet is pointless, because most trust has been removed. We wheren't doing to great before, but LLMs have just accelerated everything. Why would I ever recommend anyone use the internet for anything that requires a minimum of trust? Customer service is screwed, because more and more people aren't going trust anything that's not in person anymore.
You can't order online, because anything that not a small local shop is likely a scam, Amazon included. You can't get customer service, because that's either a scam or a bot which can't help you beyond the most trivial answers that could be found if the company had actually bothered to write documentation. You can't trust that whatever is written on a page isn't actually just an AI inventing things that didn't happen. Videos are AI voiceovers of AI written Reddit posts, which AI generated images playing.
It's not that there isn't good stuff. Some people are creating the most amazing works of art and engineering, but the AI, scams and corrupt capitalism just drowns it out.
The future sucks and I'd very much like to off this clown bus.
