And yet, China is using AI.

...I... don't know what to think about that.

...I really don't.

Because it seems that AI is just a scam.

It may "exist" but what it can do is a scam.

Maybe China thinks we have to use it just to "keep up" with the Western powers, but I dunno.

Anyway, interesting discussion with Adam Conover and Ed Zitron. It's long, but you can listen to it while doing other things. And the comments are interesting too, but then again, there are also trolls in the comments as well (AI supporters here and there).

Frankly, though? I oppose AI. I'm anti-AI. I'm anti-AI in China and anti-AI in America and anti-AI in the whole damn planet.

It's not true that all current AI is a scam.

Western AI is a detestable scam that everyone hate because they use it for stupid things that no one asked for but everyone hate, like replacing artists with AI or generating endless slop to pollute the internet with, and because the capitalist insist on using it as a way to completely replace workers instead of using it as a tool to make work easier as it should be.

If instead of being stupid bazinga hyped techbros about it we treat it as the mere tool that it is, it can be genuinely useful in some very niche applications.

This is fair and more nuanced.
