    Thing is: All of the examples still exist to various degrees.

    And just like them AI is not going to vanish. Even more so than the others because AI is information. It’s like trying to ban E2E: The genie is out of the bottle.

      I mean yeah I have one friend that smokes indoors still and it’s wild to be transported to the 70s when I visit her, and there are casinos where you usually smoke indoors. I just think if these models were trained on the worlds data then we should probably nationalize the data centers or just have the majority of people have affordable gpus again to self host and continue making strides optimizing the models to run on lower vram if people insist on using these things. I think it should be considered cringe to try to make money off them or use them for art, and the other use cases need to be regulated - giant scam apparatus manipulating the shit out of people, propaganda spreading convincing bot accounts, automated cyber attack attempts…ya know all the wonderful and most popular use cases benefiting humanity and improving our lives.

      It’s a pipe dream to think someone will pull a big switch and turn off AI. Blockchain stopped being relevant but it’s still being used.

          That will never, ever happen. It has a usecase nothing can replace. It’s not perfect, but you’re delusional if you think it’s ever going away. It might go away from your toothbrush and everything that doesn’t need it, but AI for eg. writing your emails is here to stay forever.

      Agreed, the technology exists and bad faith actors will from now on be able to use it for massive disinformation. No matter what happens, you just need some computing power, some decently smart people and time and you can train an LLM from scratch. But those damn datacenters can still be not build.
