@radiojammor @cowardlylionel @Lazarou @ElleGray As far as I can tell the only thing that "improves" exponentially with the latest wave of AI (this time the initialization being "Always Incorrect") is the cost of running it, compared to the at best linear improvement in its capabilities.

There's a reason why all of the AI pushers smell like pump-and-dump to me, and I suspect it's the prohibitive energy costs.

@kubefred @ElleGray What do I do with the extra forearm growing out of the side of my elbow?

@emi @ElleGray Don't compare AI to the Internet.

Compare AI to … well … AI. In my adult(ish) lifetime alone I'm pretty sure I've seen at least four waves of AI hype and collapse.

And so far this wave is following the script to the letter.

@Pinterestforthng @ElleGray I have no idea what you just said.

Did you generate this with ChatGPT 2.5 or something?

@SaltyMonk I would be if I didn't think it heralded a never-ending stream of them.

Better would be a message saying "we have a new feature, click on this link to read about it" followed by an explicit "turn this on if you're interested".

It's not hard. Don't turn on a feature and give a "don't show again". Inform about the existence and give a "turn this on if you like it" button. THIS IS HOW CONSENT WORKS.
