I remember Google forcing a Google + down the throats of everyone who had a Google-related account such as a YouTube account. Then they started boasting about the record growth of their social media platform. I immediately knew that this was only a tactic to please their investors.
Years later they finally caught on with what as going on when someone published the usage data revealing that most of the traffic on Google+ didn't spend more than 5 seconds on the site. This meant that most of their "usage" was people who accidentally clicked on the wrong link or immediately left the moment they saw whatever they were interested in was on Google+
Reddit is doing the same thing by not deleting bot accounts to make it sound like the activity on the site is much greater than it actually is.
AI is hyped, so overly hyped. Just look how NFT shit jumped over to AI.
it can't do half of what they're promising. it's just tricking investors (not a bad thing) and the populance at this point (a bad thing)
I think the hype is warranted in terms of technological progress, it's just the way a lot of big corporations are using it is braindead and often anti-consumer.
It is technically doing exactly what it's supposed to do, but the people in charge at Google seem to have blatantly ignored one of the most important rules of programming: "garbage in, garbage out". They paid for shitpost-tier data, and now it's doing exactly what anyone with half a brain would expect it to do with that information.
Im not scared anymore of AI, not since the one who's supposed to take my job can't even spread non-biased basics facts
