An apt meme making rounds

I think this is how it works with the current “AI” enshittification of everything. If it turns out many enough people don’t want it, it might be possible to turn it off. But since it costs billions to develop, and since everyone will have such functions, perhaps the loss of demand makes it obsolete.

Like, it used to be the case that when a mega-corp did something you really didn't like, well, cool, good news, there's alternatives. And folks can and did switch! All the time! But now a lot of tech is megacorps who aren't afraid if you leave, because, for the most part, you can't. They're too big

It is a really bad idea to use a chat bot to look up “facts”. I tell my students this in my Deep Learning class, but I’m not sure they really hear me.. The future will be weird.

Google Scholar has indexed 188 articles containing the phrase, "as of my last knowledge update." Some of the 188 articles are about the use of ChatGPT. Many aren't. In any event, a year and a half after the tech was released, we can see it has insinuated itself into the scholarly ecosystem.

PSA to anyone in the school business. When a company comes and wants to sell you this kind of hype garbage. Just say no, thank you. It will be better for everyone, including your bottom line, in the end.

Unfortunately, it repeatedly offers incorrect answers for straightforward math questions. 🧪
