    I mean, what’s that got to do with anything?

    NFT’s were always useless.

    AI however has tangible uses

    Comparing the two is stupid.

    Just because people are trying to use AI for dumb things they don’t understand as per your example, doesn’t negate the actual real world uses of AI.

    Sure. Hate/Laugh and point fingers at ignorant people that don’t understand the tech, attempt and fail to use it in certain ways.

    But don’t be more ignorant than those people by thinking AI as a technology in general is some kind of short term fad that’s just going to disappear.

      I just gave an example of AI taking a human job.

      To me it’s one of the biggest dangers of AI. Not that it will take our jobs, but the harm it will do when it occasionally does. AI is a useful tool for people, absolutely. But dumb managers will think AI can replace entire jobs. And it will do those same jobs at a much much lower quality than even the lowest paid human would. With no room to talk to it and fix the problems like a normal human. We’re already in a situation with Uber/DoorDash/etc. were the algorithm is the boss with no room to argue with it.

      Like if you thought sweatshops produced low quality, wait until AI is running things. Quality control is out the window. And that’s a feature as much as it’s a bug.
