…militarism, hegemony, and white supremacy, & it has neither the inclination nor the capacity to meaningfully introspect and bracket those biases. In short, even if this form of "AI" *were* a person, it's for sure not a person i want influencing every single aspect of my daily life. Have a good one.
AI, like people, is a variegated category. For AI, we don't even know what it is, really, since it's such early days.
But I do agree that I do not want AI influencing me all the time but that applies to corps generally. I paid Kagi for search for exactly that reason, well before Google added AI.
The thing is, I know lots of people who seem to lack the "inclination[or] the capacity to meaningfully introspect and bracket those biases". I have a client, for example, who fits that, along with some of the other negative characteristics. Still, he is a generally pleasant person who pays on time.
I like PI.ai, for example, and think it has great potential for helping people who are isolated or need a dispassionate context to vent their ideas, etc. Were you to day, "I think ChatGPT and Gemini are manipulative corporate agents", I would likely agree, though perhaps not about the specifics.
I think denigrating AI generally is incorrect generalization. Any of them can be bad, or good. The tech, as far as I can tell, and I am an enthusiastic dilettante, is value neutral. Training data, fine tuning, human feedback, and other stuff matter a lot.
