>This is what AI was fucking promoted as being for! The utopia where machines do all our work and we receive universal basic income to enjoy our freedoms.
No one promised any utopia of any sort. The only promise was that AI would put people out of work. The rest is just some naive Star Trek bullshit that was never on the table.
Sam Altman has been promising utopia (and talking about UBI) ever since he's been involved with OpenAI.
I can tell you that almost every single enthusiastic proponent of the technology I've ever spoken to has pretty much guaranteed this is where it takes us... But correct, its naïve as hell.
And people fattened up these companies with their own money :DDD. And now all they do is pouring excrement on the populace.
