Remember when Pixar and DreamWorks destroyed hundreds of thousands of acres of farmland in order to erect enormous Gray boxes filled with computers that run complex operations 24/7, consuming massive amounts of fossil fuels and fresh water, leading to unmitigated pollution; not to mention political corruption, global surveillance, rolling back privacy protections, and economic gangsterism that hasn’t been seen in 100 years?
People be like “ai is just a tool” and yeah, but thats also incredibly reductive considering what AI actually is. Maybe it is a tool, but it is a tool that uses us, not the other way around. What gets called a pattern of human behavior, used to cause wars and uprisings. the pattern isnt something essential to human nature, it’s socially constructed.
The fact that we find ourselves in these patterns over and over shows that the ruling class has learned to fuck us in a way so that we complain but not actually try to do anything to change society. Which shows the lack of actual freedom we have in order to live by our actual human impulses.
This is 100% my experience. Ai simply can not solve problems. It isnt capable of thinking objectively at all, no sense of any kind of permanence beyond the immediate task. I have found it educational in the sense that un-fucking something that ai has put together, can teach me a lot about a system I was previously unfamiliar with.
It is a machine that outputs huge amounts of useless garbage with little practical value.
