The end goal is centralization, thin clients, complete dependency on the AI cartel, surveillance and devaluing intelligence.
People do not like your product so how about just giving up? This is the Metaverse all over again. A couple of tech nerds, many of whom need intellectual assistance, are hooked and try to sell it to healthy people.
> I do not understand why anyone who believes that AI will eliminate most jobs and much of humanity's relevance would rush to build that future.
Because they can make a sh*tload of money by doing it (or at least they hope they can)?
Jury's been back for years: LLMs will never, can never, deliver superintelligence or AGI or the Omnissiah for that matter.
Sort of a half-baked tangent of a thought but is it really possible for an AI superintelligence to "invent"?
Then I got to the examples.
> my agent plans personalized recipes for us to make together each weekend, orders the ingredients, and then offers suggestions as we're baking.
I mean universe forbid you from using a recipe from one of the many talented bakers on YOUR platform. Or even better, asking a family member or family friend.
Time and time again I am shown that none of these big tech billionaires have any appreciation for human craft whatsoever. What's with the attempt to have an LLM do literally everything for you?
It's not healthy to try and be hyper efficient with literally everything in your life, nor is it healthy to remove all human aspects of everything.
Sometimes, it's totally OK to just slow down, allow imperfection, be inefficient, get things wrong, etc.
It's why all their silly consumer-oriented use cases for AI fall on deaf ears, at least for me. Crap like this, I'd never do. I'd also never use an LLM to book and plan my travel, I have no reason to, planning, finding hotels and flights, making my own itinerary is part of the joy. Finding recipes is part of the joy, etc.
They all just want to suck the fun out of everything, and make it hyper-efficient all while stripping away any human element.
They always suggest to use agents in a way that makes non issue sound tedious. Unless you have mental health issue anxiety levels, you can do disintersted weekend baking without getting "agentic suggestions". And it is disinterested cooking, cause he had agent plan and pick the meal.
The total usefulness is that it picks receipt for me and creates shopping list. And again, unless you are terminally indecisive, it is not making anything really easier.
People, more so you people with kids, the world is burning. Everything will change this year. (https://www.elninolive.com/)
That is the only future we should be focused on, all else is capitalist/corporate propaganda.
