The technocrats always fail. They can cause incredible destruction on the way, but they always fail. There is a reason the archetypal villain is the mastermind and not the hero.
Having worked in IT for 40 years I can tell you that the people that do the technical work since the "remote control" technology was created, were let go from well paying, satisfying jobs to scramble and instead, work sweatshop level hours for some giant bemouth. (Working at Twitter is not the norm)
EVERY time there's a way to use technology to reduce the labor cost and or swallow up a competitor is has been done.
Finally I can assure you that today's level of competence of technology, barring the "claims" of ChatGPT (all I hear are claims...it makes business plans AND codes the work for the week and the code "works". I'm calling BS) ---- is JUNK.
Unreliable junk.
PS how about the "quality" of todays alleged "Customer Support" from a company? We've gone from actual humans that answer the phone to uncooperative press 1 for this 2 for that (no Zero for operator) and then you're on the phone with someone in another country or not...but they're all reading from scripts. Big companies, IRS, you name it. The "auto answer" phone system was the worst thing ever.
Meanwhile people in the midwestern states resorted to Meth Labs due to no work...a book was written on this.
Yes, people pretend / have the impression & spread the meme of ChatGPT being some sort of wise oraclae that can do everything.
But that's not even what the authors claim.
It is, after all, an advanced chat bot, that somewhat "intelligently" combines information from online resources - but without any actual own knowledge and understanding, hence its output on even slightly complicated topics is usually rubbish that may look impressive to the not too well versed, or at first glance, anyway.
But thet's the key thing people don't get: YES, it IS "just a chatbot", period. Just one that works much better than the first generation of them that would randomly contact people over ICQ 10..15 years ago, that were so bad that my first question to them were: "are you a bot"? And then it was easy to get them into a loop of samey conversation. The simple repeatability is not there that much anymore with ChatGPT, but that's a bit smoke & mirrors, too.
