Yes, I'll just trust the AI to help me fuck around with grid voltage levels.

With google search results becoming so poor, I guess I need to look into kagi or duck-duck. Pain in my dick, motherless goatfucking, horsehit-happy asshole, corporate varmints gotta fuck it all up for more profit. I'm tired, yo.

Can we stop treating people as mentally challenged toddlers? When AI started, I would have agreed with you about this. But if today you still use any AI and trust what it says, after all we have seen it does, it's on you.

Am I saying that AI companies are not to blame? No. I think AI companies are to blame for the shitty product they are delivering. But let's not take any personal responsibility of people. If you plug a fork in an outlet and shock yourself to death, there's nobody to blame but yourself for being dumb. And this is the same.

    And yet, we still design outlets in ways that make that exact kind of thing as hard as possible. Because there will always be kids who have no idea what they're doing. Because there will always be old people unfamiliar with the technology that "everyone" should know how to use by now. Because accidents happen.

    This kind of attitude completely ignores the fact that there are vulnerable people who are very susceptible to the sycophantic nature of GenAI. There are multiple reported instances of people being convinced to kill themselves or others by GenAI. AI companies won't do anything about this kind of thing unless they are forced to.

    No. This is absolutely the wrong attitude. AI companies must be held accountable for all the horrible shit AI is doing.

    Yes, but let's wait until the lead-poisoned generation have been cared for first. And also until those harmed by whatever the brainworm-in-chief FDA is up to have been cared for. After that, let's expect everyone to be able to think things through.
