All you’re doing is making excuses for people. If your life is shitty and you simply accept that and don’t look to what might be the cause of your life being shitty, in this case being that our conservative controlled government supporting oligarchs and corporate monoliths over working class Americans, then you are absolutely 100% fucking stupid if you don’t take the time to find out and understand what the fuck is wrong.

I have no sympathy for the people who voted for Trump and are crying now because they didn’t take the time to find out who it was and they were voting for and what it is he actually stands for. Not just what he says he stands for. And make no mistake, a huge portion of the people who voted for Trump were not MAGA people, they were just regular Republicans voting the way they always have.

P.S. I also have no sympathy for people who didn’t bother to vote at all and are complaining because Trump is going to be president and make their lives harder. Seriously fuck you if you didn’t bother to get out and vote.

So the average maga supporter American will never attempt to read let alone comprehend.

FTFY

Don’t underestimate the mindless stupidity of the majority of Americans.

Your point is valid. Companies do use marketing to sell their products by using lots of outrageous claims. And my problem isn’t really what the companies it’s mostly with the people who are buying that bullshit.

P.S. your Coca-Cola example would have been better if you had reached back to their origins when they were sold as a tonic that cures just about everything. What they’re being sold as right now is just a soda and all of the current marketing around it is just nostalgia bait which everybody uses for everything especially around Christmas time.

The problem isn’t with the AI. It’s with how it’s being treated. It’s currently being sold as if it were general intelligence. Which it’s not. It should instead be treated like it’s a mindless tool. Something that is inert on its own. Useful for some things but only in a limited sense. Unfortunately the companies, who have spent millions of dollars developing these things, are trying to sell it as the “do-all” artificial intelligence that people have grown up seeing in sci-fi media. Which it 100% is not.

I would replace the word version with aspect. LLMs are merely one part of the puzzle that would be AI. Essentially what’s been constructed is the mouth and the part of the brain that can form words but without any of the reasoning or intelligence behind what the mouth says.

The same goes for the art AIs. They can paint pictures based on input but they can’t reason how those pictures should look. Which is why it requires so much tweaking to get them to output something that doesn’t look like it came out of a Lovecraft novel.
