Those applications are actually abysmally rare - it's just that we've created a society where businesses are just... allowed to externalize all costs.

Being wrong or lying is almost universally bad and unproductive. But making money has nothing to do with being productive - you can actively make the world worse and make money. Ask RJ Reynolds.

Sure, but there are cases where rightness isn’t a thing.

Don’t get me wrong I’m not an AI Stan, it has real problems, but it’s also not going anywhere. Eventually the bubble will pop and we’ll see which applications of AI turned out to be useful and which didn’t.
