ChatGPT and the Cult of A.I.

Hey Guys,

Come follow me on Post News. As we get closer to GPT-4, GPT-3.5 is showing its moves.

A.I. Hype is reaching a precarious pitch in December, 2022.

#ChatGPT heralds a wave of enthusiasm over Conversational A.I.

If misinformation travels fast, how fast does hype travel on today's internet?

The Microsoft backed startup OpenAI has set off an unbridled stream of over-optimism about what GPT-3.5 can accomplish.

Aaron Levie on Twitter: "We're entering an era of AI-first software, which has the potential to create supercycle of opportunity and disruption in software not seen since mobile and cloud. This will be fun. / Twitter"

Andrew Ng on Twitter: "I feel lucky to be alive when technological marvels are invented every week. The rapid progress makes life more fun! / Twitter"

The Internet Thinks A.I. is Real

It's not just dozens of posts like this, it's thousands. Nearly as if Silicon Valley decided 1 million users on the #ChatGPT demo meant A.I. will live up to the hype in the 2020s.

The sad truth is Silicon Valley promises or hype (also that benefit its VC sector) rarely does live up to the promises or hype.

Let's just assume the limited demo by OpenAI is real, what tools would it launch?

These are pretty long listicles of Tweets on #ChatGPT.

⚗️GPTChat is Going Viral

Here are some other Articles you might find interesting:

I've never read so many A.I. articles as I have about ChatGPT or seen so many Tweets or LinkedIn posts about a single topic in A.I. that generated so much hype and misinformation if I am to be honest.

It's as if public relations has become a form of mass collective delusion. Everyone is seriously entertaining what this flawed demo will do to society:

Everyone from lawyers to coders are talking about #ChatGPT as if it will disrupt them.

Not to mention automating annoying work tasks:

Then there's this particularly insincere talk about how it will disrupt Google.

People are making generalizations about how A.I. will transform their entire industries as if overnight.

OpenAI will have to make a special kind of "watermark" to protect from abuse, but can it generalize to all the potential use cases?

In the second week of the demo, there is also hype about the hype:

ChatGPT is not a product, it's not even trained on real-time web data, it's not crawling the web, it's not the next TikTok. It's a curiosity stuck sometime in 2021. It likes to apologize to pretend it's a good citizen. It's a commercial test for OpenAI to get more funding from Microsoft, in order to release GPT-4.

But the profiteers will run on the hype:

Because that's what internet gangsters do, all Ads and profiteering.

All supposedly the next "disruptive technology":

All mostly cult-of-AI whoring that the corporations who push "A.I. for Good" love to hear.

But fuck Elon Musk and the ghost in the machine and this Transhumanistic bullshit.

An internet so full of free speech and propaganda, it makes your ears ring.

Even Engineers thinking ChatGPT can save them time:

Humanity is heading straight to the ship of Monopoly Capitalism and Surveillance Capitalism like they are embracing the mother-ship.

But have TikTok, Twitter and LinkedIn become nothing more than echo chambers manipulated by powerful big actors?

Why do you suppose we are all migrating off Twitter and going to places like Post News?

Because, we can sense something is just a bit off in all of this in 2022.

A.I. is not going to save us from inflation, Covid-19, social unrest and geopolitical conflict and competition. The internet is no longer the grand experiment of an escape it once was. It has caused in 30 years, serious damage to society and our mental health.

Just don't tell Microsoft, Google, Amazon or Meta that. They don't want to hear it.
