ChatGPT Waging Class War

ChatGPT Is a Bullshit Generator Waging Class War

 

ChatGPT isn’t really new but simply an iteration of the class war that’s been waged since the start of the industrial revolution.

ChatGPT is, in technical terms, a ‘bullshit generator’.

If a generated sentence makes sense to you, the reader, it means the mathematical model has made sufficiently good guess to pass your sense-making filter. The language model has no idea what it’s talking about because it has no idea about anything at all. It’s more of a bullshitter than the most egregious egoist you’ll ever meet, producing baseless assertions with unfailing confidence because that’s what it’s designed to do. It’s a bonus for the parent corporation when journalists and academics respond by generating acres of breathless coverage, which works as PR even when expressing concerns about the end of human creativity.

AI is designed to bypass our bullshit detectors while synthesizing and feeding our own bullshit back to us.

The nature of ChatGPT as a bullshit generator makes it harmful, and it becomes more harmful the more optimised it becomes. If it produces plausible articles or computer code it means the inevitable hallucinations are becoming harder to spot. If a language model suckers us into trusting it then it has succeeded in becoming the industry’s holy grail of ‘trustworthy AI’; the problem is, trusting any form of machine learning is what leads to a single mother having their front door kicked open by social security officials because a predictive algorithm has fingered them as a probable fraudster, alongside many other instances of algorithmic violence.

As if the internet wasn’t already festooned with enough bullshit. And get ready for an avalanche of music created by AI apps. The thing is, you won’t know whether any of it’s real or artificial.

Has anyone yet figured out exactly why VCs are so attracted to generative AI that that can produce infinite amounts of bullshit? Asking for a friend…

They need the next trend to help. Them make new financial bubble from After nft/web3/blockchain failed miserable

VCs don’t invest in generative AI because of today’s capabilities but speculate on true value beyond “bullshitting” in 3-5 years that can be monetized at scale.

Build the best “toy”, use it to sell the real product; embeddings. Achieve vendor lock-in with a guarantee of recurring revenue.

For the same reason they are attracted to anything: it is monetizable. In many fields, replacing writers+editor to just AI+editor is a profitable business case.

The Goal is to Destroy Public Education

Ohio Nazi homeschoolers can use ChatGPT to generate nazi propanda curriculum.

Take the Tax money from the public schools to private pockets industry where they can “teach” indoctrinate Nazi ideas.

The Molotov cocktail thrown at a Bloomfield NJ synagogue & the exposure of Nazi curriculum pushed out by home-school network in Ohio yesterday highlight growing racism in our local communities throughout our country.
