OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, is heading for a loss of 14 billion dollars this year. Its market share is plummeting, and CEO Sam Altman recently admitted that they have “screwed up” their product. All it takes now to accelerate that decline is ten seconds of your time:

@bitchboss Me neither. No use for it and it is obviously evil. I haven't used any of them. I think most of the AI companies will go bankrupt and then we will be able to buy RAM again.

Opinie | Rutger Bregman: Stop met ChatGPT. Jouw abonnementsgeld financiert Trumps machtsmachine

Kunstmatige intelligentie: Er is geen enkele reden om nog ChatGPT te gebruiken, schrijft Rutger Bregman. Er zijn goede alternatieven die niet meewerken met het repressieve regime van Donald Trump.

Even if that wasn't all true, using OpenAI products is a bad idea. Altman is of the Gates/Zackerberg school of business. Encourages everyone to use your platform, copy all the ideas that work, sabotaging the originator.

@bitchboss I agree with the endeavour, though I don't know if I know many people who have personal ChatGPT subscriptions... I've always presumed that besides a small number of hypers, the money inflow for OpenAI is mostly either investor finance, or sales directly to companies who think it will let them fire more staff, or deals with other big tech companies to shove unwanted GPT into their products.

@bitchboss Good riddance. AI shouldn't be a crutch for goddamned everything. I like how Apple is doing it. It's a tool. Whether that's removing a background in Pixelmator or stem splitting in Logic. It should be another tool in your tool belt. It should do useful things to accentuate human imagination. Not become a substitute for it. And OpenAI is trying to substitute it.

Exactly. A tool. Not a lifestyle, not an autonomous weapon, and not a bloodthirsty coach.

@Arlette_pt

AI is not dangerous in itself. It only becomes scary when people want to install AI as your second conscience. Polarisation and false information in the various LLMs make it a dangerous political weapon. Especially when it is in the hands of Trump, who expects AI to kill all his opponents while he sleeps so that when he wakes up, he will no longer have any opponents. Dialogue and the right to be heard fade into an automatic death sentence.

So yes, it's time to think carefully.
