The actual practical use cases of LLMs are so specific and rare (not to mention almost certainly more expensive without the VC funding) I’m starting to feel like the anti-AI “it will take our jobs” narrative is one that the companies help support.
It probably is. Same with the narrative “if you have nothing to hide…”, which gets parroted a lot without much thought. It mainly serves to erode privacy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nothing_to_hide_argument. I think people for whatever reason think big tech is infallible, which is far from true, but very good for the companies if they want to maintain their almost god-like appearances. Companies like Google are too bloated and are anti-consumer. I highly recommend people move to other services. LLMs need to be regulated as they are far too harmful and do so much unchecked damage. I agreed that they have areas they are useful, but for instance scanning everyone’s photos on the cloud and letting AI be judge, jury, and executioner in terminating people’s accounts when they find something they think violates some arbitrary ever changing TOS policy is not a good use for them. Just ranting. Not a fan of how these companies invade privacy with AI.
