Dear all governments:
Ban AI. Completely.
Love,
Intelligent people
That is really short sighted. We all know it is not AI. The marketing is such bullshit.
But we also know that predictive algorithms can be useful. For instance: digitizing a property line, or identifying features in a lidar cloud, or discovering anomalies in blood cells. Then there are prediction tests and what if scenarios.
Seems like this is the same argument people had about computers in general. Ban all computers they said. Who knows maybe this guy in 1968 was right all along. and computers are the problem.
This is the 'not all men' of AI.
We know that there are use cases but with the massive prevalence of LLMs and image generators being forced into everything we don't need to list the exclusions every single time.
They did say completely. Ban it all they said.
Hey moron, computers by themselves aren't oftem dangerously wrong and do not severely impact our environmemt with every brain-dead query. Not to mention horribly violate copyright.
I swear to fuck, every time some horrible technology comes along, there are people like you who compare wanting it thrown away with being a complete luddite. It shows your horrible bias and either blind devotion to mega-corporations or your affiliation with one (or more).
Either way: be silent. AI must be destroyed.
You are proving my point. Thanks.
And while I am thinking about it....people like you make all of this worse. You have no idea what you are talking about, including insulting me over something I was not saying at all. But you keep being a loudmouth and tell people to be silent. I was not defending any of the negatives of using computers, but relating how YES people complained about them all the way back then, and to some degree the argument never changed.
But you have to realize: using algorithyms (again there is no such thing as AI right now) is not the problem. It is marketing, how people use it without a clue, and corporations. Gee we actually have some things in common.
But then you have to be a dick, and then I begin to not give a shit.
Dear intelligent people:
Fuck you
