Yeah, I understand. I just meant that Bing has had a rather bad week in the press and gone viral as a meme for runaway/absurd AI trope.

Wait wait wait... Are you saying I shouldn't be preparing to embark on a hedonistic journey of post scarcity super intelligence wherein we stop aging, having health problems, financial inequality, injustice and bad days? Ooooor are you saying the apocalypse is upon us and we'll all be damned to a world of suffering for not supporting our imminent AI overlords since the age of 7?
If I've learned anything from this sub, it's that it's one or the other. Oh. And apparently art is now irrelevant because AI makes things that look okay cool.

I don't. I have thoughts about how we practice animal husbandry in our version of capitalism, but I wasn't aware that this was the topic at hand.
If you think that domestication is creating slaves for friendship, what would you call creating a digital mind to do your work for you?

Perhaps digital minds will be less plentiful than dogs. Very easy for anyone to get a dog (or a primate if you live in the right parts of the world) and abuse it. Maybe the hardware and/or software to operate a digital mind will be restricted by law or by circumstance (energy needs, specific and rare hardware, etc) such that the number of digital minds is small enough to do better than we do with... You know, other humans and dogs... Welp, that's depressing.

I meant because their AI is very publicly being the meme of everything that people are scared about with AI.
