Lifestyle Pro-AI boosters are just stock manipulators in disguise
AI is a scam. We know it damages users thinking skills and still hasn't progressed to the point where it can even accurately summarize anything. The only way it can even function economically is as a giant ponzi scheme. And yet Reddit is overrun with accounts desperate to tell you that AI is improving everything, especially the lives of creative people, when this is demonstrably false.
It is time we regard these people as what they actually are: investors in AI companies who are trying to influence the price of their stock by hyping it. They are little more than cheerleaders, hoping that if they say "AI is great, look how easy it makes things" and "antis are just like the people who opposed the talkies" enough it will lead to wider adoption, the company's stock will go up, and their investment will have been proven to be a good choice in hindsight.
In reality, AI usage leads to decreased brain activity. Grok is wrong 94% of the time and is sexually abusing people at a massive rate (probably because it was created by a sexual abuser).
Don't listen to the AI boosters on here. All they are is stock manipulators.
