This is an angle I've never considered before, with regards to a future dystopia with a corrupt AI running the show. AI might never advance beyond what it is in 2025, but because people believe it's a supergodbrain, we start putting way too much faith in its flawed output, and it's our own credulity that dismantles civilisation rather than a runaway LLM with designs of its own. Misinformation unwittingly codified and sanctified by ourselves via ChatGeppetto.
The call is coming from inside the ~~house~~ mechanical Turk!
They call it hallucinations like it's a cute brain fart, and "Agentic" means they're using the output of one to be the input of another, which has access to things and can make decisions and actually fuck things up. It's a complete fucking shit show. But humans are expensive so replacing them makes line go up.
