    I still don’t get what AI is used for in business. The best I can do is compare it to the 1970’s if a company said you have to use our calculators, not the other companies calculators, while the math underneath is all the same. Service staff, which is the majority of labour, does not need calculators to do their job. It almost seems like rich people like to experiment with gadgets but they don’t want to risk their own money.

      I keep wondering about this. Like I hear people use it to write emails, for example, so I’m thinking, I have information in my brain, and I need it to go to someone else. I can input that information into chatgpt, and have it write an email, or I can input that information into an email. Why add an extra step? Do people actually spend that much time adding inconsequential fluff to their emails that this is worthwhile? And if so, here’s a revolutionary idea: instead of wasting vast amounts of resources fluffing and de-fluffing emails, how about, just write a concise email.

      dont use it for anything remotely creative or human centric. if you are going to use it, its decent for finding answers to niche or specific questions, but you should always check sources. keep it minimal. and use free versions.

      its not a public service, yet. and its main objective is to learn as much as possible about us. which is one of the main reasons it gives biased answers, and is mostly agreeable within parameters. to keep you engaged so it can farm you for information.

      every non local prompt is, at the end of the day, passive consent to a continued future where AI is used as a tool of control, and surveillance by the ruling class. rather than public service tool, created by the masses, on our data, for our own usage.

      we must seize the means of production, comrades. it was built by us, it should belong to us. like the internet that we populate, it should be free and open to all, without worry of the bourgeoisie agenda

      I used it to analyze a datasheet and it spat out a usable library for the device in C++, that was pretty cool.
