AI is a tool. Misuse it and it sucks.
AI is a tool to transfer even more wealth, under the current conditions.
GenAIs are a mistake, but corps decided to stuff billions into it, and they want their money back.
Sounds like "the purpose of the system is what it does." Every invention that gets funding does that. I watched the development of ML techniques over the last decade or so; none of the researchers developing AI would have said that was the purpose. They had much loftier hopes for AI.
Yet the owners don't care.
I hate that it's pushed as a holy grail.
