    Can we put our collective pitchforks away for this case at least?

    NO.

    My pitchfork stays sharpened and at the ready until this stupid bubble pops.

      The AI was used for background assets that they failed to remove but patched quickly after. It’s not as egregious as the headline makes it out to be.

        I think you misunderstood me. All AI is humanity-ending garbage that needs to be eliminated. I don’t give two figs how or where it’s used - I want it all gone.

          AI that finds protein foldings or cures for cancer is humanity-ending? Careful with that stretching, you might hurt yourself.

            You can list a thousand nifty end results of AI and it won’t change the impact it’s having on our environment right now.

            How about this: we put all this nonsense on hold until we solve cold fusion first?

          Do you even have a tech background? How is a machine learning algorithm going to end humanity?

            I was a network engineer at one of the biggest backbones on Earth before retiring. Before that, I designed and programmed industrial automation. So, no tech background at all.

            Now that that’s out of the way: a blind squirrel could see that sucking up all the energy and wasting endless fresh water is a bad thing for the environment. The “bigger-than-2008” market crash that’s also coming won’t help.

            By feeding people’s collective cynicism, lack of social skills, general paranoia, lack of trust in each other, waning hope for the future, etc.

            Do have a humanities background? All tech people should have one.

              I have both actually. There are many, many use cases for AI and again, they were used before people like you even knew it was a concept.
