I'm increasingly thinking that AI is a symptom and not the root problem. Leaving aside that the obvious motivation for it is the destruction of the modern peasantry, I would cautiously suggest that most of the problems with it are really caused by indifference to sustainable systems.

Everything is so optimized around short-term market gains that literally everything else is getting tossed by the wayside.

@nerdpr0fRob O @nopatienceChristoffer S. @cR0wcR0w @cloudskater from my perspective, the obvious motivation is it saves me time by not having to visit (n) websites and synthesize all of them manually, e.g. a research assistant who you still have to double check but saves you time. But as the great warrior poet Patrick Swayze once said in Road House (1989), "Opinions vary."
