“AI” is to the Internet as plastics are to Earth
(AI is also to Earth and plastics are to Earth)
@endeavorance AI is pretty much just massive sequences of "If, Then" statements, and having done a bunch of MATLAB only consisting of those statements, I DESPISE IT.

...finishes typing the message on plastic keyboard/device...

Looks around contentedly.

@endeavorance Where AI goes, it leaves a void in the human mind that will be filled by human stupidity.

@endeavorance

Yep. You can do great and useful things with it, which were previously very hard or impossible to do. But people start using it for everything, taking up too much resources and littering everywhere.

@endeavorance It can annoy a little, but without it, life would be much worse?
@endeavorance AI is three excel sheets in a trench coat.

@endeavorance I've been saying this for almost 2 years.

I'm glad to see the idea gaining traction!

(next ting is that it is discovered that we have micro-AI embedded in our brains...)
@steinarb Some people seem to have already developed AI toxoplasmosis, thought to spread through AI slop.
@endeavorance That’s a great analogy. Useful, but definitely polluting.
@endeavorance And so on very niche applications it can help save lives and transform science, but it mostly just produces an unfathomable amount of life threatening and environmentaly destructive junk.
@endeavorance Bro that’s too harsh, it’s not that bad. But the hype bubble should pop
