To be fair, a lot of the "people" talking to the engagement baiting AI are AI commenters themselves. But you don't need to "head over to Reddit", this is happening on HN too, with both content and comments. I wouldn

Oh, come on. The specific use that the genetics company is marketing is "AI blood tests", which is obviously crap and also works to remind the reader of Theranos, which I'm sure is why you didn't mention that. In the sam

They seem like that, but in practice, human marketers are your adversaries, and they're buying ads on targeted search terms. I can search "better pancakes than Waffle House" and a marketer at Waffle House will have bought t

I mean, I was being a little hyperbolic and spitting back against people who claim that any criticism of AI is "doomerism", but I edited out the part of my comment that made that clear before posting. My bad. Although I do want to
