Seems like a fitting end to the internet, imo. Or the recipe for the Singularity.

Not only internet. Soon everybody will use AI for everything. Lawyers will use AI in court on both sides. AI will fight against AI.

I was at a coffee shop the other day and 2 lawyers were discussing how they were doing stuff with ai that they didn't know anything about and then just send to their clients.

That shit scared the hell out of me.

And everything will just keep getting worse with more and more common folk eating the hype and brainwash using these highly incorrect tools in all levels of our society everyday to make decisions about things they have no idea about.

I'm aware of an effort to get LLM AI to summarize medical reports for doctors.

Very disturbing.

The people driving it where I work tend to be the people who know the least about how computers work.

It was a time of desolation, chaos, and uncertainty. Brother pitted against brother. Babies having babies.

Then one day, from the right side of the screen, came a man. A man with a plastic rectangle.

This is the opposite of the singularity

It is a singularity, in the sense that it is an infinitely escalating level of suck.
