Everyone pretty much hates it, its just here is one of the few places online where money and stupidity can't be waved around frantically to hide that.

Because unbelievable amounts of money have been devoted to making AI seem inveitable while these same companies have deeply enshittified traditional search engines?

Because people used to really buy into the hype of computers and a Silicon Valley sense of excitement about possibility?

Big tech is currently brutally strip mining our optimism with one of these earth strippers as if it didn't leave a barren wasteland behind and wasn't utterly unsustainable.

It isn't because ChatGPT is making money that is for sure.

    We can be anticapitalists, and still comprehend people love the idea of an extortionist sycophant that answers your every whim and curiosity.
    Tis why djinns, fae, and Dolus exists in folklore.
    Maybe get off your personal bubble, touch grass, and talk to normies.
