I am of the opinion that this AI/ChatGPT, or atleast the current form of it, is just another VC money shuffling business which has no long term real world consequence. Like VR and crypto, while being great technical experiment but eventually they have not reached any kind of sufficient adoption. iPhone and Bitcoin came out at basically the same time and see how many people have iPhone and how many even know about bitcoin. And yet, Crypto & VR have been VC darlings for all these years. Generally I feel all the usecases for this AI are incredibly depressing and don't give us any hope that they will make the world a better place. I can totally imagine that this AI can replace some jobs, but who really benefits from it? I certainly do not, government probably doesn't, only the big corporations. We would have more umemployment, less tax collections and overall we will end up worse than before. So why are we even investing in such a tech? Who would you be even selling stuff to if all of us are unemployed?



I don't know what you are smoking if you think ChatGPT doesn't have real world consequence.


Sorry, I forgot the endless amount of spam generation.
