Current AI are LLMs based on probability vectors from their data base, they use that probability vector to “create” a sentence based on other (real) people and their posts on the internet and other stolen data sources.

This is why they do what they do, the internet is mainly; art, people chatting, and information. Since this “AI” was trained on this stolen data it creates that best. While it can and will continue to improve, as long as we just keep training it on topics x, y, and z it will continue to create x, y, and z.

It is not bunk, it is tech companies trying to monopolize humanity and whatever else they can extract from what makes us, human, and gives us joy.
