    I wish there were more concrete facts, but a good article nonetheless.

      Woah woah woah. Writers are supposed to support their assertions now? But what about the vibes?!

        Give it a vibe to document the support, it can do that - it can even do it in non-hallucinatory fashion, if you tell it to.

        Exactly!

        Anyone who has spent any time on social media could tell you that this is more of a ‘feelings’ topic than a ‘facts’ topic.

          Yes, because AI boosters don’t themselves deal in facts. It’s a religiosity.

          If you want statistics about how AI only is losing companies money, or how the finances don’t add up, there are articles for that too.
