For these AI boosters, the point isn't to create an AI that can do the work as well as a person - it's to condition the world to accept the lower-quality work that will come from a chatbot. 36/

Chatting with a relative last night who laughed about how untrustworthy and flat-out factually wrong AI is, then proceeded to say how extensively he uses it for work. “It took seconds to do what would have taken me four hours.” “What about untrustworthy and wrong?” “It’s good enough.” Amazing.

"The Agricultural Revolution was history's biggest fraud. Who was responsible? Neither kings, nor priests, nor merchants. The culprits were a handful of plant species, including wheat, rice and potatoes. These plants domesticated Homo sapiens, rather than vice versa". AI is the new wheat.
