This is why "AI" won't take over the world—it can't. It doesn't work that way.

It can work to augment and in tandem with existing technology and has some useful use cases (though IMO relatively few).

The issue with "AI" isn't really if it works or not (we know it doesn't and needs augmentation, special-casing and lots of help to be useful).

The issue is that these big companies won't be able to provide this service forever that they currently offer way below what it actually costs them.

If they'd charge what it actually costs to run it plus an upcharge to pay their investors plus some more to make a profit—they'd be out of business tomorrow.

@thomasfuchs it'll be interesting to see how it will play out when three weeks from now, we will be having to decide whether to be able to eat/cook/drive or generate an image of a cute fox playing the ukelele...

AI slop nourish neither soul nor body...
