AI feels like a real mania, a genuine collective break from reality among the ruling class. They might as well be pouring billions of dollars into an attempt to replace all jobs and knowledge with a large bronze idol of Dagon.
Not to mention that the executives currently pushing this algorithmic slop on all of us would shit their pants and kill it immediately if they somehow did create such a thing.
They like THIS "AI", because they can tell it what to do. And because not enough people are suing for theft yet.
