Sick and tired of these AI CEOs talking as if they are God

Sick and tired of these AI CEOs talking as if they are God.

Why is the media tripping over themselves to give these Tech Bros airtime? Everytime one of them speak they are all gloom and doom.

But the worst part is that their crappy and weird personalities bleed into the product they create and they end up having massive influence on our society.

Sorry for the rant, but I just read earlier this bizarre looking CEO of a tech company claiming that becoming a doctor is a waste of time because AI will be better than them by the time they are done.

Really? And journalists don't even challenges these guys. They just seat there and let these guys spew all kind of nonsense.

Look at them they are all weird.

It's a self-perpetuating cycle, OP.

AI bosses cannot behave otherwise because investors need to believe they have almost magical or spiritual powers that the common mortal does not have. AI tech has always operated on the edge of a knife, with investor enthusiasm only a few months away from investor skepticism. CEOs of AI businesses are "falling forward", making grand promises and pronouncements, because otherwise the money will dry up. I believe that AI will benefit mankind in the end, but I know that it will take much longer, and cost a lot more, than most people think. And that difference in timeline is what AI leaders are terrified of.

So the job of AI CEO is self-selecting in that regard. A quieter persona, man or woman, will have difficulty surviving in that ecosystem. They won't be heard, because investors are chasing the loud, self-assured ones.

I wouldn't want to be any of them, to be honest.

MIT just published a report that 95% of genai agents fail at customer sites. Expect more of the same bs from ceos that push these undercooked products.

Tell me about it. AI AI AI my God. Its getting ridiculous. And worse part is that they forcing it down our throat. The other day I had some issues with my Uber trip and I ended up in a loophole with an extremely dumb bot.

I don't know how we can push against these bots, they are everywhere.

Totally agree, op

Yep. Think about what kind of person prefers a world where you only talk to computers that are trained to praise you ... it's not healthy likeable people who want that.

These Imbecile Bros (and their female versions) have already destroyed the dating market with their stupid dating apps that nobody is happy about.

I don't want to know what they have on store for us with their latest super intelligence nonsense.

They’re just trying to keep the money rolling in and know it requires saying weird stuff and making it sound like they ultimately control the world, never mind that the end product is kinda crappy and doesn’t really help improve life for 99% of people on the planet. I still haven’t had one conversation with a customer service bot that did not end with me demanding to talk to a real human. We have AI as it is right now—mostly crappy, useless AI— because these bros aren’t really all that remarkable nor do they really care to develop a product that does anything useful for humanity. I don’t care if it can write a poem or replace encyclopedias or synthesize all the information on the internet about the War of 1812. I’m still going to want the expert human.

Pull back the curtain and all you see is an unimpressive dork creating special effects hoping no one notices how much they suck. And the retaliation will be look little peons, we can take your jobs because we’re gods and investors say so, haha! Sad so much money goes to supporting their mediocre products rather than actually curing diseases and improving quality of life.

I could see how some people wouldn't get much out of AI. I personally don't use Google much anymore. AI is so good at cutting through BS. Though maybe Google was just gaming the search market making us look at ads and what not, but I really like using ChatGPT to cull the web searches and explain the products.

Yeah enjoy 5 minutes you have left before they figure out a way to turn your AI into the same shit google is.

Seems kind of naive to think ads aren’t (or won’t) be woven into the AI results as well.

I agree also OP. Not to mention the wealth disparity aspect. Like if Bezos (who isn't even that loud about AI) wants to have a lavish wedding, ok. But do you have to have it in a city that's barely hanging on from overtourism and invite lots of people you don't know?

Sorry, off topic. I used to like him and now he's also weird.

Whether you like it or not it is coming for your job.

Look at you obsessing over it instead of ignoring it. Weird.
