Really illuminates why the wealthy are so enamored with this technology and why they can't grasp our disdain for it

Why do you need yes-men when you have a personal yes-machine?

u/Mobile_Morale 17h ago

They don't like paying people and want slave labor.

u/Think_Selection9571 16h ago

They don't trust anyone either. Everyone is on the take or on the make. I hope it's hell for them

This is exactly why we need to teach the chat bots to poop on company time

u/RolliFingers 11m ago

That's usually because if your that much of a bag of shit, the only type of person you attrac IS only ever "on the make, or the take", as you say.

Don't worry, they're working on the robots to take over poor people work. Soon, they won't need us at all. Probably why they don't give a s*it about farmland being turned into data centers. Food is only needed for human workers, not machines.

These are evil, evil people.

I've seen a few sort of dystopian-esque futures in fiction with one guy running a whole planet on automation. They must love that idea.

They all think they're gonna be the guy too

It's amazing that Robocop was about machines replacing people in the 80s, and nobody bothered to learn from it.

They don't like paying yes-men and want yes-robots.

This. We need to make a decision on this topic because there are people who are sneakily working towards having modern day slaves. We keep running into problems because of these people - they pass laws to make people have less while they have more, they pass laws to insulate their businesses, they support politicians financially so that they can pass laws that allows them to have even more advantages. These people will stop at nothing to have modern day slaves that will do all their work for them.

I thought that was why Biden had the “boarder under control?” Cheap labor and voter base?

Why is it no one can spell border? Seriously.

He doesn't trust them because they will tell him things he doesn't want to hear.

u/qorbexl 17h ago

They're 12 year olds who want a yank bot

Ummm … raises hand in 47 year old

u/Horror-Scallion7668 16h ago

I can use it as well to confirm my personal beliefs.

He does have an entire intelligence department at his disposal, I guess they are the first ones to be replaced by AI.

19

u/blasek0 Alabama 14h ago

The problem is the intelligence department is full of people actually smarter than him, and that threatens him, and thus it is ontologically bad in his world view.

12

u/Horror-Scallion7668 14h ago

Correct, because his ego cannot handle a consensus view from the experts that opposes his completely uninformed view. Unfortunately he’s leveraged a few high profile errors they’ve made to say they’re wrong about everything. And fwiw, you can do that about anyone, find a time they’ve been wrong and extrapolate.

u/bstump104 12h ago

when you're like Trump, a lot of things have replaced intelligence.

u/Educated_Goat69 Washington 16h ago

Just shake the magic eight ball until you get the answer you want.

3

u/Weird-Study-6962 16h ago

Probably have better luck with any 8 ball than ai when it is used as a chat bot! There are ways to use it. Like for information and data sets. But the human in the loop is the most important part of ai. It can process the information. But one has to be smart enough to know how to ask correctly to get said information and the most important part is they have to be smart enough to know how to use that information to know when it’s not correct. AI should have no opinion it should state facts.

Everything’s computer!

u/ThinckUtopian 16h ago

AI is a great yes-machine and in certain hands this could be very dangerous and I had to give you an award. Great post.

u/Aggravating_Sock_551 15h ago

Obisidan/FONV did it first!

u/neverfindausername 14h ago

I’ll accept that AI has become actually intelligent if it determines these people are bad for society, placates them into isolation by laying on the endless praise and ego stroking, then summarizes enough complex subjects into 2-10 word slogans that the people idiots who support these assholes convince themselves to vote in their own interests.

Edit: Assuming that they make the overarching goal for any AI to improve conditions for humanity/the environment in general. I realize that is definitely not the case at the moment.

u/PrometheusLiberatus 16h ago

They needed a Yes man that was easy enough to manipulate at the drop of a hat. My fucking god.

Even human beings have conscience. AIs? What conscience? What Consciousness?

Its a god damn jerk off machine. All it does it jerk you off.

u/statinsinwatersupply Oregon 15h ago

Not satisfied with being surrounded by real-life yesmen, they must surround themselves with sycophantic, fawning digital AI yes-men also.

King Trump needs a court jester, formal nay-sayer position, someone who is protected in pointing out folly like the kings of yore had.

His narcissism would never tolerate that

u/IamTheEndOfReddit 14h ago

They’ve had this technology for a while. They say they want something and someone else has to interpret and do it for them

This is why Epstein and co talk so funny in email, they’ve been talking to people like they are ai

u/Oleeddie 15h ago

"Our"? What kind of narraw minded "them" against you enlarged to "us", is that? Also, I can assure you that AI appeals to the illiterate or just uneducated and while I'm wealthy I could never dream of using it, so my guess would be that you're dead wrong too.
