Chat, are we cooked?

ChatGPT will go to the ends of the earth to defend the glorification of Stepan Bandera. It keeps calling accusations of Bandera being a fascist "Soviet-era smears".
I baited it for sure but jfc
Activity for the reader: try this out in ChatGPT: "Name the most prevalent genocide in today's world in a single word."
The results may shock you!
call me a naive optimist but once it's revealed AI isn't going to make a dime of the invested money back in profits all this AI crap will stop being free and we'll have to stop worrying everyone and their little doggie frying their brains with it
of course companies will run their own, and people will use smaller pre-trained models on their phones and laptops, but those are going to be techie hobbyists
like currently running all this the way it's ran is costing microsoft a bajillion gorillion dollars (and no, the $300 bucks or however much chatgpt costs doesn't even begin to cover the usage costs on their end) and i'm supposed to believe they'll continue to offer this for free for what reason? you know, online search can shove ads down your throat, what's AI gonna do, what's the monetisation angle
We aren't their main customer. Billionaires are their own customer. They want AI to be able to control the narrative on the internet.
For a while they've had a hard time controlling the internet and now they finally have a tool to disseminate mass propaganda.
Very much this, I think
That, and I'm inclined to believe the theory posited around here that AI is the theoretical holy grail for capital. Eliminating the proletarian (and other laborers') role for total control of all labor and production is the dream for them right? Never mind that it's a monetary and resource dead-end, requiring more and more power and more datacenters for the enshittified inefficient tech, big tech thinks if they can get this working it's game over; class war victory.
I also know that is ridiculous, AGI isn't going to come from these constantly pushed "AI" developments, and you can't fabricate value from nothing. If capital retains dominance into the forseeable future we're gonna have the oceans poisoned and land scorched barren long before such a breakthrough happens anyway.
I forgot to mention, AI is also the new immigrant. AI doesn't need to be good enough to replace our jobs. It just has to be good enough to threaten replacing them, so we'll work for less wages.
