Sam Altman says OpenAI wants to sell intelligence like a utility

During a recent appearance at BlackRock in Washington, D.C., OpenAI's Sam Altman, shared his vision for the future of AI. At one point saying, “We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter.”

Altman was describing a world where AI becomes a foundational infrastructure, something woven into everyday life so deeply that consumers and businesses simply “plug into” it the same way they rely on electricity, Wi-Fi or running water.

It's VERY aggravating to use.

"No I said DON'T include this information I've told you three times now."

"Did I ask for your speculation/discussion?"

"No, I said CITE ONLINE SOURCES, not just make them up!"

"NONE OF YOUR EXTERNAL LINKS WORK!!"

...half an hour later you realise the first answer is probably the best you're going to get, and you'll still need to fact check it before using it.

yeah. that sums it up. Spend more time and energy to ultimately have to do everything yourself anyway. Only if you truly have no fucking clue about what you are asking, you can beleive anything this evolved T9 autocorrects say.

No offense, but when did you last use a LLM? Two years ago?

Granted they‘re talkative, but that’s it what they are, literal blah machines.

I mean fuck Altman and the rest of the tech bros, can’t wait until their bubble burst and they all crash. But the technology is going to stay, like it or not.
