General Discussion

I can assure you that this is more fluff than fact. Al is not going to take your job.

Let's use one of my favorite examples. All of us are likely old enough to remember those commercials that used to come on late at night about "you too can be a millionaire just like me if you buy my tape/video/book series for just three easy payments of $19.99" the thing that always made me laugh about that is why aren't all those people in the call center or the company producing the material or any employees of this person becoming millionaires themselves so they don't have to work for someone else? See, that is where this whole scam falls apart. If it's real and it works then why does anyone work for that person at all but are not millionaires themselves?

Here is my point: if Al is so good then why are all these Al companies failing? Why is their revenue models garbage? Why is their own computer code garbage? Why are they so resource intensive? Why are they specifically targeting poor and rural communities that are least able to fight the environmental impacts and have the poorest infrastructure in the state, thereby increasing the harmful impacts to the community they are in?

Perfect example from an article out a couple days ago, of how Al has led to dozens of serious medical complications and screwed up surgeries

Or how Microsoft has screwed up Windows 11 but still pushes forward with making Win11 completely driven by Al when no business will wants it or needs it and will only increase business costs

The whole point is that no matter how many times they say it, Al is NOT ready for prime time.

The Al bubble will soon burst and drag the economy down with it. It cannot happen soon enough because it's screwing with the real economic picture and not allowing people to understand the actual economic issues we are now facing.
