These words are EXACTLY, like to the letter, what I think whenever I see the AI douches go on about how LLMs are “inevitable” and we’d better “adapt”.

I can’t think of any world-changing technology in literally all of human history that required people to be begged, cajoled, bribed, and/or forced into using it. Typically such technology, whether it’s the plough, or eyeglasses, or the printing press, or the automobile or whatever had the opposite problem: the early tech was too labour-intensive to make or too costly or whatever to actually be able to get into the hands of everybody who was clamouring to use it.

But AI, the “unstoppable technology” has to be forced on people, often by threat, to the point that revenue from selling it it grossly under the costs of supplying it and people still aren’t really using it, a few douchey nerds aside.

I think that’s very sus.
