AI appeals to those looking for easy ways to make money with little effort on their part. The natural grifters. The lazy. The ones always on the prowl for a way to take advantage of situations and people. They’re fine with making a handful of fast bucks and having everything
“These findings follow previous research which concluded that the more people learn about how AI works, the less they trust it. The opposite was also true — AI’s biggest fans tended to be those who understood the least about the tech.” 🔗 https://t.co/grwKbRLSyA

@effthealgorithm I have been writing software since the 1970s. I love working with LLMs to assist in writing code, I’m vastly more productive because of it, and pretty much everyone else I know who’s a longtime professional programmer feels the same way. So, speak for yourself about all of this.

@effthealgorithm Reminds me of how in online games most people will naturally chase the meta (most effective tactic) to win. But at the macro scale, the developers can't keep their incentive structure fixed around the meta, else the game'll stagnate, bore veterans, alienate newbies, and die.

@effthealgorithm True. Only the grifters fail to see the social impact of the misbelief AI is casting on normal people.

@effthealgorithm No, AI is just a data processing tech. Not an intelligent tech. When you sell it as an "intelligence", ppl get disappointed. When you use it for what it was created to do, it's a great tool.

@effthealgorithm On the one hand, this is a pretty good take. On the other hand, this is just what humans are.

@effthealgorithm I don't think it's about laziness at all, rather a way to boost productivity and build meaningful things.

@effthealgorithm Sure Katherine.
Tonight, my Uber driver, a man who’d served as an interpreter for US forces in Afghanistan, told me that he uses LLMs in many ways: as a translator with his next door neighbor who speaks only Spanish; to more effectively interface with American bureaucracy, and just to learn

Answer the call. Sleep later. Ship now. You can shape the entire world from your bedroom.

@effthealgorithm It's a glorified flow chart that is just capable of doing it at ten thousand pixels per second instead of one. It's not more intelligent. It's just faster than humans.

@effthealgorithm AI can be used to make things faster and easier but the ways people want to use it is not the point of it. Thats why theres so many mistakes.

@effthealgorithm It’s a smart Cuisinart. Useful, but not as promised. I don’t know why scientists ever thought that a language centrifuge could magically solve all kinds of scientific problems.

@effthealgorithm AI also appeals to people who are interested in art as therapy and art as a non-profit way to communicate internal thoughts. It also appeals to people who have grand ideas, who like to curate art, worldbuilders and those already creating the next new stories. Bored with old IP.

@effthealgorithm Open source, decentralized AI can do the exact opposite of what you are saying. Stoking fear will assure centralized control of AI will fall into the hands of the very people you don’t want it to. Painting with an extremely broad brush at best here.

@effthealgorithm So those of us who are simply doing the exact same job we do everyday making the exact same amount of money and are simply trying to be more productive and take on more jobs are actually natural grifters and are lazy? How does that logic work? Do you honestly believe this? 😂
