No AI apocalypse.

The upshot: these AI summaries were so bad that the assessors agreed that using them could require more work down the line, because of the amount of fact-checking they require. If that's the case, then the purported upsides of using the technology — cost-cutting and time-saving — are seriously called into question.
You've already "respectfully" insulted me many times over because I'm not convinced that a sufficiently large language model is a 1:1 analogue to a biological brain no matter how much data (and energy, and water) goes in and how much carbon waste comes out of it.
That's already happened, and a lot of its unmitigated momentum (and the damage it's already causing) is because of "THIS IS AI" hype marketing, which oversells the tools. The tools are potentially useful and quite powerful, yes, but they are not general artificial intelligence in the way that's still being researched and developed before, during, and since you bought into the "AI" marketing label for LLMs.
They are already here, they are already screwing over many people in the working class and they're already doing massive environmental damage, and pretenses of personhood for the treat printers (or insulting living beings as "afraid" or whatever Redditisms may come) isn't making them any more 1:1 biological-analogue sapient but it is certainly blurring actual scientific inquiry with "just like the cyberpunkerinos" wish fulfillment desires.
How do you think I feel when you keep conjuring up a pile of straw labeled "frightened superstitious Luddite who fears for their immortal soul" and smugposting toward it?
Then don't. There's plenty of subreddits such as /r/singularity and /r/futurology that will cheerfully agree with all of your internalized marketing beliefs.
Then why did you use the same fucking tone in this post?
If you want to stop, just stop. If you want to fling more "respectful" insults my way, I can't stop you.
Yeah, it's not working. You never stopped doing it and you're trying to blame it on me.
Believe whatever you want to believe about marketing hype calling large language models "AI" as it has for the last few years, no matter the blurring effect that that sloppy hype branding has already done to actual artificial intelligence research.
I'm done.
If you have to play a last word game after I said "I'm done" then spare me the concern trolling with your next reply.
Do you have any self awareness at all, especially after what you already said about me?
