Yes. AI can be used for spam, job cuts, and creepy surveillance, no argument there, but pretending it’s nothing more than a corporate scam machine is just lazy cynicism. This same “automatic BS” is helping discover life-saving drugs, diagnosing cancers earlier than some doctors, giving deaf people real-time conversations through instant transcription, translating entire languages on the fly, mapping wildfire and flood zones so first responders know exactly where to go, accelerating scientific breakthroughs from climate modeling to space exploration, and cutting out the kind of tedious grunt work that wastes millions of human hours a day. The problem isn’t that AI exists, it’s that a lot of powerful people use it selfishly and irresponsibly. Blaming the tech instead of demanding better governance is like blaming the printing press for bad propaganda.

Arent those different types of AI?

I dont think anyone hating AI is referring to the code that makes enemies move, or sort things into categories

LLMs aren't artificial intelligence in any way.

They're extremely complex and very smart prediction engines.

The term artificial intelligence has been co-opted in hijacked for marketing purposes a long time ago.

The kind of AI that in general people expect to see is a fully autonomous self-aware machine.

If anyone has used any llm for any extended period of time they will know immediately that they're not that smart even chatgpt arguably the smartest of them all is still highly incapable.

What we do have to come to terms with is that these llms do have an application they have function and they are useful and they can be used in a deleterious way just like any technology at all.

If a program that can predict prices for video games based on reviews and how many people bought it can be called AI long before 2021, LLMs can too
