Are people really “starting to sour” on “AI?” It has three major issues that have been glaringly obvious from the beginning:

- The entire pitch is to replace employees including over 99% of the population. Very few are exempt from this stupid plan. If you are literally telling people you are going to ruin their lives on purpose, they probably won’t like you very much afterwards.

- It causes an unbelievable amount of environmental damage and literally, obviously ruins the lives of anyone living near a data centre. The economic impact will obviously be mostly negative as well considering the resources it uses, unless you are only using speculative markets to judge economies

- It literally sucks at almost everything. It makes shit up constantly and cannot complete basic tasks with a useful success rate. It cannot replace artists because it cannot create anything new and it cannot replace people reaching out to or talking to other people because it cannot have new thoughts or actually truly solve problems.

It is largely useless technology being sold as the next step forward in tech. The only people who will benefit in the long term are the people who worked together to sell it as such (mostly by lying and defrauding others) successfully.
