    Photocopy of a photocopy.

    It was evident that this was inevitable since they poisoned the Internet, the very thing they train their crap on, with their own slop.

    They temporarily mitigated it by pirating every existing form of media… but that would only work as long as they didn’t train their models on anything published after they poisoned the well, which would make it even more useless for most use cases, so they kept using their own slop for training, maybe believing their own lies that they’ll be able to fix it, maybe planning to sell and run just before the bubble bursts.

    Last time we fed something its own shit and corpses we got mad cow disease.

    Guess mad “AI” ¹ is on the menu for the foreseeable future. 🤷‍♂️


    ¹ (It’s not even real AI, just fancy applied statistics to make a marginally better — but, thanks to model poisoning, progressively worse — autocomplete.)

    “AI design is inherently defective and will never work correctly.”

    Guess we need to jam it into more things!

      I think yes. Look at how long they’ve been trying to cram voice assistants down our throats. There’s no point at which they’ll say “no, I don’t think these are ready yet, let’s pull them back”.

        It is clear to all that a bubble has been growing.

        If you’re insisting the bubble will never burst, then there has to eventually be an actual use case for this that makes back the billions they’re investing no? What’s that use case? A Copilot subscription?

          No. They just keep investing in perpetuity. Look at Tesla.

            Look at Tesla.

            Sure

            Tesla’s stock has plummeted over 50% since December, causing the company to lose $800 billion in market value. That drop has also knocked roughly $100 billion off Musk’s net worth, though he remains the world’s richest person, with a fortune estimated at $329 billion by Forbes.

            According to the Financial Times, short sellers have made over $16 billion betting against Tesla in the last three months, and some analysts have downgraded their global delivery forecasts to the lowest levels since 2022.

              Look closelier. +5% over the last 5 days. +18% over the last month. +77% over the last 12 months. +460% over the last 5 years. That’s in spite of the CEO’s recent deeply polarizing antics that have nothing to do with Tesla itself.

                Don’t make up numbers.

                +77% over the last 12 months

                It’s -21.36%. I don’t know where you’re getting this info from.

                Type “Tesla stock” into Google and select YTD (year to date).

        I mean - I still don’t use them so - ? And knowing they’re infected with AI, I wouldn’t use them for anything other than the simplest, statistically-improbable-to-get-wrong tasks.

          You’d be surprised, Google voice commands have gotten so bad it can’t toggle a light. Things as simple as “define: word” are now a 50/50 of working or spitting out some random crap unrelated to what was attempted to be looked up. I’ve stopped using the little speakers for anything other than streaming music while cooking.

            I guess - i mean, the smallpox virus is still here too, it’s just very unpopular and not very profitable.
