Not blaming the user, but I’ve treated every conversation with it like someone at the company will personally read it. They have the power to so why would I expect otherwise?
This is absolutely shitty business practice, and again, the customer doesn’t deserve this, but damn if people aren’t trusting.
If you can’t trust a friend or family member with that conversation, why are people so quick to trust a company that practically didn’t exist 5 years ago.
I’m just sad, frustrated, and confused. AI could have been a good thing, but companies are finding every way to make it worse.
This isn’t directed at you necessarily, but AI and LLMs/image gen are not interchangeable. AI has had a hand in sciences for a while already and has been increasingly helpful in recent years as there’s been more investment in the technology. LLMs don’t seem to be a net positive, and may never be, but AI as a tool can do some amazing things that people just cannot without it.
The problem with this is that “AI” is such a punning term that covers so many different technologies there is nothing global to all of them.
So people tend to use “AI” as a shorthand for whatever is the most recently hyped technology. (Keeping up with random tech term changes is hard for the uninitiated/uninterested, after all.)
Properly what most people are moaning about these days are “LLM(beciles)” and other forms of “(de)generative AI”.
That’s fair. I was just mentioning this because the original commenter said ai could be so much better, and often people that say that are dog piled on even though the are generally referring to science ai and the people dog piling are referring to LLMs. I didn’t see dog piling, but i was just bringing it up in general. I wanted to remind people that ai can be and has been used for good and that technology can further human progress, it’s just capitalism that’s using this in ways that are destructive due to the profit motive. Humanity shouldn’t let companies own the idea of progress. Progress is for the people and denying ai because capital is currently using it for their aims robs us of our ability to dream of a certain version of a better world. Ai can be part of our future, but it won’t need to be shoehorned in by corporations. It can fit in where we want it to if we give ourselves the chance and are able to make it to that stage.
This may be considered “Shitty Business Practice”, but it is the only asset they have that they can sell.
Their only revenue streams are leasing access to the service for commercial use and selling transcripts to each other, data brokers, and governmental agencies.
Their only other income are more venture capital in a Ponzi Scheme so large that it makes Bernie Madoff look like Alan Greenspan.

I keep telling people the quote from zucc when he says “they trust me…idiots”
That’s how literally every tech billionaire thinks about you.
Could it have been a good thing? Could dumping a bunch of trash all over my screen have ever helped me in any way?

If by “trash” you mean “bespoke anime tiddies” then… well the answer is still no, but it’s what AI is best at I’m afraid.
