    So far AI has done more damage than adding any true value to productivty unless you consider the following as plus points:

    * Getting staff fired
    * Stealing journalist, book authors, or artists’ work
    * Environment impact
    * Hallucinations that caused harm and loss of life
    * Creating undressing images of minors and woman
    * The list list endless and you have to be psychopaths to like this

    @nixCraft And if you don't trust Goldman Sachs, maybe you believe 6000 executives from the US, UK, Germany and Australia a little bit more. From the study:

    > "Third, the impact of AI on firm employment and productivity has been small so far. On average, more than 90% of business managers across the four countries estimate no impact of AI on their employment over the past three years. 89% report no impact of AI on their labor productivity over the last three years."

    In the 1980s, economist Robert Solow made an observation that reminded economists of today’s AI boom: “You can see the computer age everywhere but in the productivity statistics.”

      @nixCraft In the 70's we were talking about this day of AI and the problems it would create. Starting with the need for some kind of UBI, then what would the people do instead of work(there are only so many truly creative people), the needs for provided medical care, housing, food and more. By the time the 80's rolled around those discussions weren't heard any more. The GOP had it under control.
      /S, Just ask Reagan it was all the Welfare Queen and food stamps.

          @nixCraft how is AI simultaneously producing nothing of value and also taking jobs, in your mind? How can it steal (and therefore profit from) artists work while also being incapable of production? Workers and artists have absolutely nothing to worry about because AI doesn’t work, right?

            @nixCraft isn't it also a big part of the economy? So it's stolen resources from everywhere else, like cancer?

              @nixCraft As a tech enthusiast this is one of the worst technologies ever existed, I literally became an AI atheist so to speak

              - Needs to steal data to work
              - It consumes a lot of resources
              - Fucks up the RAM prices, so you can no longer build a PC even if you don't use AI

              And yeah, it may have good uses, like fighting cancer or stuff like that, but it's philosophy and core functionalities still fucking shit. I csm only see negative shit coming out of it so #FuckAI

                  Not, no, it doesn't' fight cancers… research do…

                  What microshit, google, crapbook, altman, musk and all the technofascists sell, are LLMs. LLMs just generate bullshit, thus called "generative AI". It has absolutely nothing to do with field specific machine learning thats might be used in health research

                  LLMs are only useful for fascists to make disinformation and FUD… Absolutely 0 "good uses"

                    @fnwbr Of course they wouldn't admit this shit actually had BIG impact of AI on heir employment… They used as an excuse to fire people massively, expecting their profit to skyrocket "because the AI will do their job faster"… Fucking clowns

                      @fnwbr @nixCraft Although other parts of the article quote analysts being cautiously positive about its impact on productivity in the most recent quarter and the general thrust seems to be that significant productivity gains may be more in the longer rather than shorter term. I’m not a lover of AI, but that is what the Fortune article is saying.

                              Meta's safety director handed OpenClaw AI agents the keys to her emails

                              A Meta executive reveals that OpenClaw's AI agent wreaked havoc on her inbox before she shut it down by killing all the processes on the host.

                                @nixCraft how is AI simultaneously producing nothing of value and also taking jobs, in your mind? How can it steal (and therefore profit from) artists work while also being incapable of production? Workers and artists have absolutely nothing to worry about because AI doesn’t work, right?

                                @Joeheadycus @nixCraft how can it steal? They only exist because of theft. Doesn't mean it produces art. This is not difficult

                                      * Getting staff fired
                                      * Stealing journalist, book authors, or artists’ work
                                      * Environment impact
                                      * Hallucinations that caused harm and loss of life

                                      * The list list endless and you have to be psychopaths to like this

                                      I'd even say they drove the US into more debt, and robbed millions of people of their livelihoods and even their savings.

                                          @nixCraft getting staff fired is desirable from a shareholder's perspective

                                          unless of course the company has to hire the people back

                                          than again, rates might be lower, because, you know, AI-related unemployment, so still a win.

                                          This is of course sarcastic, because in the end, unemployed don't buy your product
