“They made healthcare a commodity, education a debt trap, and housing a speculation market — then told you that poverty is a personal failing.
They privatized survival and called it freedom."

And listen, $800 is $800, and nothing to sneeze at… but the whole idea that ChatGPT allowed this lady to do something otherwise impossible… is garbage.

This article on ABC News talks about how a woman paid off $11,000 in debt with advice from #ChatGPT.

Halfway through the article:

‘ "My husband was actually like, 'Oh, didn't we have a brokerage account?'" Allan recalled. "There's $10,200 sitting in this account that is available. Like I could literally cry right now," she said in a TikTok video. ‘

Sooooooo, in 30 days, she paid off $800 in debt with “help” from ChatGPT.

What a shit article. #AI is shit.

Imagine if we collectively spent just 10% of the resources that go into the AI bullshit hype machine on solving, you know, the myriad of existential problems humanity faces.
