That’s how I felt waking up this morning (as of posting). Who else can relate?
I’m guessing these CEOs are using AI chatbots to come up with their ideas 🤣
Or the slop could never exist in the first place? 🤔

Technically it still does. However, out of respect for the community, in future I will be more careful and not add to the title (even though I have done the same multiple times before and never had an issue). Out of respect for you personally, I have restored the original title to this post.
I have to say though, I’m not sure I will be posting in this community again — not over this issue, but upon reading the rules, some of them don’t sit right with me. Rule 5 in particular says:
Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
To me, that amounts to saying “Well it’s perfectly fine to slag off someone who isn’t here to defend themselves, but nope you’re not allowed to do it to someone who is” 🤨
I cross posted and didn’t check. Gah! Oh well, at least it’s only one word different
Or at least you should have the option to switch it off
Man, some people have all the luck…
And others are pretty fucked 😭
Who has? lol
Nothing wrong with random

Though nobody expected it in the first place, AI is not perfect and can make mistakes (obviously 🙄) What’s your experience with this? I’d love to hear about it.

To be clear: I read about what happens with AI in the news/on the internet mostly, it’s not hard to google ‘AI news today’ and see what’s going on in the world of AI, or go on Reddit/quora/Lemmy/whatever other boards for discussion they got, and read about people’s experiences etc. That’s how I know how other people are using it.
LLM’s and machine learning (as it is used today) and all other types/forms of AI.
Not really sure about your point of ‘shunning’. Nobody’s shunning AI, we’re having/encouraging/engaging in constructive debate about the nature of this. How can we shun something we haven’t fully scrutinised either by research or discussion?
Who said that and when?

In fairness, the argument that AI is a cult/false religion/false god has been made many times before, however I believe that AI and the AI community most closely aligns with a cult, and here’s why:
Indoctrination techniques:
Generally, techniques that indoctrinate users into the cult tend to follow similar trends, which are notable in many of the AI models having similar effects on the users who subsequently become frequent users of the technology. Broken down, I’d say it’s something like this:
-Innocuous beginnings: Cults are notorious for beginning the indoctrination process with something simple and seemingly harmless on the surface (I.e. conferences, videos, films, games, etc.) these are all real techniques that various cults have used in the past, to somewhat success. Likewise, AI chatbots, image and video generators present just this: an invitation to engage with something fun and seemingly harmless, something that engages the audience and draws their attention.
-Love bombing: Perhaps the most notorious hook of cults is love bombing — giving heaps of praise and complements to the joining members. Likewise, AI chatbots constantly tell you how good your point is or how you’re always on the right track (“you’ve hit the nail on the head”, “that is an amazing point” are but a few I have read of Gemini) This is undoubtedly a form of love bombing.
-Promise of more: Cults often work by enticing their audience with something good, but promising something great (something better) later. Likewise, AI tech companies are always promising more, more, more if you subscribe/follow their work. What better reward for AI users can there be but the promise of bigger and better AI? This is exactly how both cults and AI operate.
Beyond the indoctrination similarities, there are also many, many peripheral similarities (by which I mean subtle, not less important similarities) which include:
-reach and scope: historical cults have often managed to expand their reach across multiple countries around the world. Need I explain how this is similar to the reach and scope of AI?
-withholding/hiding information
-leaders who turn out to be crooks/criminals
-leaders who amass fortunes
And many more.
What do you think? Are the similarities superficial, or could AI actually be a worldwide cult hidden in plain sight?

Of course, some might rightly argue that this has happened without the influence of both Epstein or AI 🤔
