we stole the promethean fire

humans won't have to work again

the spark of intelligence is now living in machines

by the way, we still have to make small annoying interruptions to digital content to display ads, everything falls apart if we don't do that

Something feels off in this whole idea. I think you guys are overestimating the importance of AI. It's just another commodity.

we currently technically do not need to work much (as a specie).

it s a societal choice (we're not the ones making it but it is still a choice).

That specific phrase is not load-bearing to my argument. It's just an sample of things AI enthusiasts say.

I think LLMs are just another commodity. I think AI would be something different.

Emphasis on the conditional tense.

It wasn't me that muddled the terminology. I ain't going to fix it. They wanted to make those synonyms, that's what they'll get.
