It’s being rushed to market and is still very inefficient, but part of the reason it’s being rushed to market is because companies are getting ahead of themselves about the opportunity to fire human employees.
companies are getting ahead of themselves about the opportunity to fire human employees
But then if they produce garbage with AI people will buy the non-garbage product
Either it produces something of value or it doesn’t, if it’s producing garbage, lowering output, etc then it’s not a threat to our jobs because most people don’t like garbage, if it’s producing genuine value then it will be.
Early cars weren’t a threat to streetcars and trains and urban planning but modern cars have reshaped every North American city. You can criticize the inefficiency, poor quality, energy waste, etc. of the technology today while also pointing out the dangers of tomorrow.
But cars have always had value, we’re talking under an article that calls AI “magic beans”
How could magic beans which produce garbage enslave humanity under capitalism? Would you argue that cars which replaced horses as the primary mode of transport in a few years be called this?
You can argue that AI does some things badly, it’s still very very early on and the progress people are making is insane, like nothing I’ve seen before, but you can’t argue it is worthless and a giant threat to us at the same time, this is contradictory
are those competing?

The cars that replaced horses were several iterations in, early “automobile” devices included steam powered carriages that moved slower than walking.
A technology may start with limited usage while still having lots of potential.
Technologies are always useless until they’re not.
