    Can you think of any other industry where the mass adoption of a product is untested? Like image airlines adding a new autopilot system that allows a single crew flight - but it’s been untested. Or an electrical appliance that is sold without being tested for shock hazards?

    Similar with AI - they already tell us they don’t know exactly how it all works (the black box) - yet are content to unleash it on the masses and see what happens. The social and personal effects this will have are being studied already and it’s not looking great.

    It’s not even labelled as a beta test either.

      That they don’t know how it works is a lie. The mysticism and anthropomorphization is purposeful marketing. Pretending they don’t know how it works also lets them pretend that the fact they constantly lie is something that can be fixed rather than a fundamental aspect of the technology
