All the dire implications notwithstanding it is hilarious how evil this technology is. Billions of dollars spent on this greasy lying stupid thing that was literally built to replace people, and everyone that uses it gets weaker, lazier, dumber, and sadder for having done so. Well done all around.

Branding Large Language Models as “Artificial Intelligence” was such a marketing coup and it’s going to ruin our society
Reporter: The FDA has a new AI tool that's intended to speed up drug approvals. But several FDA employees say the new AI helper is making up studies that do not exist. One FDA employee telling us, 'Anything that you don't have time to double check is unreliable. It hallucinates confidently'

This seems common to the rollout of AI tools basically everywhere right now. They do an impressive demo for the bosses and then when they actually put them in the field the workers who actually have to use it discover that there's a lot of basic shit the AI can't do correctly.
NEW - A new FDA AI tool that could speed up reviews of medical devices is struggling with simple tasks, like uploading documents, according to two people familiar.
A separate tool, called Elsa, which was rolled out to FDA employees Monday is also having issues.

The more I learn about AI and the more it becomes pervasive, the more I hate it. It is bad for like a million reasons and the benefits are dwarfed by the drawbacks.

so, if a movie already exists, AI can replicate it but worse
There's a thread on Twitter that purports to show that AI can save money by producing visual effects better than Hollywood. And it's just identical shots that wouldn't exist without straight plagiarism of the source material.
It might be the dumbest thread I've ever seen.

Groceries are more expensive, air travel is less safe, infectious diseases are raging and inflation is higher than it’s been in months, but at least Trump was able to strong-arm a sovereign nation into releasing a couple of psychopathic sex traffickers.
At least there’s that.
