Ok, so they bought billions of dollars of ram/storage, to put inside servers that haven’t been bought yet, to put inside data centers that haven’t been built yet, in order to run AI that doesn’t work yet, in order to chase profits that are impossible to achieve.

And now, despite driving ram prices up to absurd prices, you’ve begun to realize the same thing all of us knew from before day one. NOBODY WANTS THIS SHIT!!!

I agree with you completely, but,

I wouldn’t say “no one wants this” though. The oligarchs have poured in billions and bought off every media company to constantly spout off about ai companies so your general normie thinks its “the future”. Almost every single (normie) person I know (except 1 who is anti AI, and he’s a geek) is using some form of slopbot for tons of things. Easy excel formulas (that anyone can do), turning pictures black and white (that literally any photo program has been able to do for 30+ years) , to summarize documents (because people are idiots now and have no reading comprehension) etc. The normies LOVE it and eat up the slop. Especially if they were stupid at computers before, now they think they’re on the level of woz because they told a chatbot to make slop code.

Its only here on Lemmy that people dislike it. The rest of the world is already addicted, and we are screwed.

The only people who are excited for AI are twitter users and rich people. It’s not just in Lemmy.
