The naivete of people is sometimes almost comical for me.
Not blaming the user, but I’ve treated every conversation with it like someone at the company will personally read it. They have the power to so why would I expect otherwise?
This is absolutely shitty business practice, and again, the customer doesn’t deserve this, but damn if people aren’t trusting.
If you can’t trust a friend or family member with that conversation, why are people so quick to trust a company that practically didn’t exist 5 years ago.
I’m just sad, frustrated, and confused. AI could have been a good thing, but companies are finding every way to make it worse.
- I keep telling people the quote from zucc when he says "they trust me...idiots"
  That's how literally every tech billionaire thinks about you.
- Could it have been a good thing? Could dumping a bunch of trash all over my screen have ever helped me in any way?
  
  This isn't directed at you necessarily, but AI and LLMs/image gen are not interchangeable. AI has had a hand in sciences for a while already and has been increasingly helpful in recent years as there's been more investment in the technology. LLMs don't seem to be a net positive, and may never be, but AI as a tool can do some amazing things that people just cannot without it.
  
  dumping a bunch of trash all over my screen
  If by "trash" you mean "bespoke anime tiddies" then... well the answer is still no, but it's what AI is best at I'm afraid.
- This may be considered “Shitty Business Practice”, but it is the only asset they have that they can sell.
  Their only revenue streams are leasing access to the service for commercial use and selling transcripts to each other, data brokers, and governmental agencies.
  Their only other income are more venture capital in a Ponzi Scheme so large that it makes Bernie Madoff look like Alan Greenspan.
Im furious that anyone would be surprised by this.
The fuck did they expect?
If youre using big tech services, assume the worst.
Why are they surprised? If the service is free you are the product.
Where... where did they think the words they were typing were going? Not into someone else's computer?
Talking to chat GPT is equivalent to shit posting on fedi, a public fora
Let them fight.
damn that's crazy 😐
Lololololololol
