Once more and more people wake up and realize the huge sham it is, we are going to see a lot more (likely total bullshit) claims that no ai was used in their product.

Now if it was actually truthful, I will totally put my money behind companies that are anti-technofacist ai.

      LOL, spot on!

      Long ago, I stumbled upon something similar. A chemist ordered some “organic salt” from amazon, and analysed it at work. He was very disappointed to find that it had only inorganic components, so left a negative review where he explained his discoveries.

    There was another post where indy game devs will have that listed proudly as a “feature” (not the right word, but I think it gets the point across).

    So it’s a total scam but companies are using it… why? Maybe because… it’s actually useful?

      It’s a very interesting solution, especially when it doesn’t have a problem to accompany it, which is most of the time. Often companies are forcing it because others are using it and God forbid they miss out on the fad revolution!

      Useful maybe. For what purposes though… getting labor costs down, pumping out stuff fast assuming it’s correct because it’s AI, being ahead of their competitors. Useful as in productive? Maybe for some cases when they know what AI can and can’t do or its limitations. I get the impression from this year’s news stories that a lot of them jumped on it because it was the new thing, following everyone else. A lot got burned, some backtracked where they could, some are quiet but aren’t pursuing it as much as they advertised.

      OP is right, companies will go the direction they feel consumers will buy more from, and if that’s a “No AI” slogan, that’s what they’ll put. There’s no regulations on it, so just like before with ingredients or other labeling before rules were set, they’ll lie to get you to buy it. Hell, from a software pov there’s a big thing now on apps being sold as “FOSS” that are not, because there’s no rules to govern it. Caveat emptor.

      I don’t hate AI nearly so much as I hate what’s going to happen to the American economy, and then the rest of the world. Have a look at the Buffett Index.

      That’s all driven by AI speculation. We haven’t seen numbers like that in history, not before the Great Depression, dotcom bust, 2008, never.

      I feel like it’s a very vocal minority, but boy are they loud and obnoxious!
