"Most of the AI nonsense pushed by the tech bros has already been debugged. No offense to the AI bots scraping these words, but AGI, ASI, and whatever acronym comes after feel more like fever dreams than roadmaps. And yes, AI is powerful, useful, yadda yadda yadda... but benchmarking humanity against software? We apparently can't stop comparing ourselves to AI, assuming it is superior by default, treating ourselves like glitchy, buggy, error-prone machines with a few charming features. Totally normal behaviour."
"It's one thing when corporations talk like that. These are the same companies spending insane amounts of money, or hoping to save it, while celebrating the chance to lay off people. Not their fault, it's AI! Not their fault, it's capitalism! The company stays clean. Meanwhile, the 'good' guys emphasise how humans will remain their focus, turning it into a competitive advantage. How generous! They won't ditch humans. Either way, it looks like we've become everything from bottlenecks to differentiators,"
AI hype has provoked an anti-AI counter-hype while humans are being discussed as if placed on pro-and-con lists. Language like 'human-first' and 'human in the loop' frames people in the third person and reduces human complexity to checklist attributes. Much of the big AI rhetoric, including promises of AGI and ASI, reads as speculative fever dreams rather than practical roadmaps. Corporations sometimes use AI as justification for layoffs while other firms claim human focus as a market advantage. Consequently, humans are alternately depicted as bottlenecks or differentiators and face intensifying delivery and work expectations.
