• Well no, the title is wrong. Google itself destroyed Google Search. And the Internet does not depend on Google Search. And most of us don’t use Google’s AI.

  Of course there are some real damages, but the title itself is bait click. It’s just false at face value. Do better next time.

  We all told you it was vaporware and you wanted to ride that bubble. Don’t pretend any of this was a surprise.

  And whatever their residence is, if they do things that look like working while physically present in the state, they are at risk of being forced to pay.

• 1. No, their opinion would not be the most informed. They are biased in favor of making money. They know they can’t deliver on strong AI, but they’d be happy to milk your fears.

• They are lying about their fear. That’s all they can do. Stop believing any claim of theirs. Stop being manipulated.

  They are snake oil salesman. They sell vaporware. Don’t fucking buy it.

• Oh Bernie Bernie Bernie. AI is 95% vaporware. Stop fretting about the shit they claim they’ll produce but never will.

  (Obviously changing technology requires some legal changes. Yes yes. But focus on the real shit that’s already happened, not the bullshit they are promising.)

• Maybe you don’t read the same articles that I read, but I very much have seen people claiming the things that the article is fighting against.

  Here’s something you should consider. The big AI companies just released a statement saying we should be worried about AI killing everyone accidentally in the future or some such s***. But if they’re selling vaporware, and they know it, and they realize the only thing they actually created was fairly powerful LLMs, they would be desperate to cover up that fact. They would be desperate to make themselves relevant, to pretend that AI is going somewhere when it isn’t.

  Another way of looking at things as that author has also written is that we’re looking at definitional questions where the people selling us things are liars. If you point out that their technology hasn’t matched the promises that they made, they will counter by pointing at some advanced statistical methods. If you point out that AI drive-thrus are a failure, and that AI at Pizza Hut has destroyed hundreds of franchises to the point that they sued corporate, then they’ll respond by talking about how intelligent ChatGPT sounds.

  So at some point if you want to have a sensible conversation about AI, you need to start to define what you’re talking about. Or you could pretend that there is no need to define things to deflect from the issue, so that nobody reading would learn anything about the world.

• Of course they want to hype their shit. Pretend the sky is falling (when it’s not) so that you need regulation on AI so that open source and Chinese companies can be blocked out. Get that lock-in before the bubble bursts, fuck yeah.
