Did we get Brainwashed by AI companies?

[Ash55]

AI hype train was too strong for us maybe, sometime AI saved me time but most cases its adding extra work even worst when i use it for hours and i realize i have to redo the work

I almost feel like we live in hyper reality where social media trend can control so much of our life driving investment and the economy

What kind of work specifically?

@Ash55 no you are brainwashed right now to question ai s capability. These companies dont want right now that everyone is scared because its too powerful. So they tell you that ai is less powerful and you believe that. Have you ever used ai?

I don't think tranaformers itself is doing any damage at all. Transformers by themselves are just humble tech. They just exposed the underlying instability. 

Stop calling them AI companies. There's no AI. We don't even have real AI or RL in the world yet.

AI hype got hijacked to artificially pump the stocks of certain companies like Nvidia by strategically investing into each other in a circular fashion. It turned into a grift as soon as the hype reached a certain level.

It's rare for hype to actually live up to itself, even if the product does have certain merit. Some bubble bursting is to be expected, but the hype was mighty inflated this time.

AI has already completely changed my life and my ability to plan and reason. It's helped my emotional development since now everytime I have an emotional outburst or overwhelmed with something I journal about it and just input it all into Gemini. It's also allowed me to start my own worldbuilding project that I will hopefully turn into a VR MMO one day, it's helped me with the art generation which I never would've been able to afford on my own. My next step is to start implementing AI agents to have active labor 24/7 on my behalf, super excited for that.

I think you're perhaps using it the wrong way or just throwing out the baby with the bathwater in terms of when it makes mistakes.
