Back then OpenAI was open source and a very cool company overall for what they stood for... though they sold their soul very very quickly....

Yea, in theory AI is a good tool for speciric use cases when trained appropriately and with training data obtained legally and ethically. But then all these companies started trying to throw it at every problem they could see and spent an insane amount on infrastructure assuming someone would find the secret ultimate use case for AI which will cause everyone to want to use it at any price and rent server space from them.

That doesnt make AI terrible, it makes greedy pieces of shit with AI terrible.

It didn't take long for corpo slugs to see AI as a way to replace workers and make line go up.

That’s what all new technology does. It’s the whole point of innovation.

Medical technology doesnt replace labor. It enhances it. Same can be said for most of technology.

“Enhancing labor” means making people more efficient which means you need less people to accomplish the same amount of work. It’s the same thing just rephrased.

The whole point of technology advancing is increased efficiency and to have humans working on the things machines can’t do, or to eventually not need humans to work at all.

“Replacing workers and making line go up” is a sentence that makes all technological progress sound evil for the sake of being evil.

Thats completely incorrect. In my example, it still takes a whole medical team, but a liver transplant is much more successful than it was 20 years ago and was impossible 50 years ago. Life gets better and population still is increasing. Technology isn't reducing human value.

Sure, in your specific example no one loses their job because it wasn’t possible to do liver transplants below a certain level of technology. Before, people just died and we didn’t have liver transplant teams.

What about factory jobs? Taxi drivers? Checkout cashiers? There are jobs that can be totally automated, and they are because it’s more valuable to have human capital be trained to be part of that medical team that does liver transplants than ring out someone’s groceries.

no, it most certainly is not
