In simple terms, once again, why you can stick your “#AI” (more precisely: #LLM and #GenAI) up to where the sun doesn't shine. None of this is unclear, everything has long been publicly known and documented:

“#AI” is a speculative bubble that causes massive damage to the #environment and #climate; cheats people out of the wages for their labor and their art; contaminates and corrupts the acquisition, maintenance, and dissemination of knowledge like microplastics, not even stopping at your brains; and financially yields several orders of magnitude less than it costs. It is not even remotely viable on its own and ultimately hopes for permanent financing through the squandering of taxpayer money, as soon as “the market” has had enough of fuzzy promises of "returns", and no longer wants to “invest.”

You like “AI” because it produces plausible-sounding and plausible-looking bullshit and because you have learned in the 21st century that you can get away with it, provided you don't give a damn about future generations. In the end, you'll be left without even a hint of the illusion that immense amounts of money have been wasted here on something “systemically important,” as was the case last time.
