I feel the same way about AI that I did about crypto when it started becoming a thing:

• All of the moral practices that make it possible are fucked beyond repair.

• It’s spawning some of the worst companies, and enriching some of the worst billionaires in the world.

• While there are some genuinely useful, practical applications for it, there are so few of them, and they have had so little positive impact so far, that it doesn’t even seem like it’s going to be worth it anytime soon.

@nileane I feel like AI has more practical uses than the blockchain. The blockchain was basically "what if database but more complicated"

But no one seems interested in actually doing anything practical with AI. It's always "we added AI and now the service is harder to use and impossible to trust"
