AI investment has helped keep markets and economic growth ticking along, but the IMF fears the boom could quickly turn to bust if the promised profits fail to materialize. With tech giants borrowing billions and investors piling into the same handful of companies, a selloff could leave more than just Silicon Valley nursing a hangover.

You think they aren’t harvesting your data for advertising?

And even if you are somehow anonymized, any usage to juice their numbers is what they want.

If you want to stick it to ChatGPT, use their competition. GLM, Xiaomi, Deepseek, Mistral, Nemotron, whatever;their absolute deepest fear is the public pivoting to actually free models. And you can use them with whatever level of privacy you wish, since you aren’t locked to vendors.

    I mean, we could also just not have AI at all. I dunno what point you're trying to make, but it's not landing. I am extremely anti-AI, and I want it to just go away. But, guess what, it isn't, and they will keep shoving it down our throats until the AI bubble bursts and they take the global economy with it.

    @NocturnalMorning @brucethemoose How can you be "extremely anti-"AI" and still use a LLM? There is no right life in the wrong one. Theodor W. AdornoThere is no ethical use of "AI"

    Oh boy, another, you want to improve society, and yet you participate in it argument. Gee, how original. I understand what you are trying ti get at, but you aren't going to win any friends going around telling everyone they are evil for using a tool that is being shoved down all of societies throat.

    Hell, my work has an internal AI tool, and I refuse to use it. Are you happy? Probably not.

    @NocturnalMorning It's not about winning you as friend. It is your free choice using Chat GPT or other "tools" as you call them mad by antidemocratic transhumanistic Tech Oligarchs.

    Do you just go around trolling people everywhere you go, or are you incapable of having a discussion with people without insulting them or someone else in the process? You're preaching to the choir anyway...

    Then why not use Reddit, too?

    ...But you're already on Lemmy.

    No one is making you use ChatGPT; there are free alternatives every direction you look. This is not a 'participating in society' argument, it's a really low-effort choice, far lower effort than choosing to use the Fediverse.
