AI is, frankly, less a superintelligence than a form of super-stupidity with enormous power and no capacity for remorse or learning from previous harm caused.

You opened doors to make money for yourselves. You even joke about killing humanity.

    Already happening in sooo many parts of the world. Was before, but is worse now. Doesn't invalidate the article at all, just felt a need to point it out.

    Let's see, there spending 10 trillion between now and 2032... They need it to earn 3 trillion a year to cover their loans.... And there's only 8 billion people on the planet?

    The irony of writing an anti-genAI article and having a genAI image for that article.
