Was mich bei dem ganzen #KI-Gedöns so endlos aufregt: zu glauben, das basiert auf wahnsinnig kniffliger Programmierer-Genialität. Nix da: was es braucht, ist massig kleinteilige Schlagwort- und Datensatz-Arbeit. Kann bzw. will sich aber unserer Zivilisationsmodell nicht zu nem Preis leisten, dass man davon unausgebeutet leben kann. Also braucht es an der Peripherie arme Teufel, die den Kack für lächerliches Geld zusammenklicken.
