I pressed it. Just pressed it again. Turns out it doesn’t show up on Lemmy. Lol

iyes :wq

Yeah, this is a major issue across the board. For a wide variety of products, if they clearly marked which were AI generated, then the sales would likely speak for themselves.

But companies don’t really want to do this. They want to mix AI slop in with regular products, so that over time, the average consumer dumbs down enough to no longer know the difference. Then they just generate every product ever and number go up.

This still ignores the fact that no one will have money to put into the system from the bottom (which is the only way it flows in an economy), but here we are.

That’s the thing: it doesn’t have to be better since it’s 100% free. It could be considerably worse and still be the better choice for the price.

The fact that it’s mostly on par is absolute gravy.

No no, real numbers would hurt the bottom line. AI relies on great expectations and overly trusting techbros.

We could be beyond it. What hasn’t happened quite yet are things like failing currencies, but it’s entirely possible we are beyond the point of no return. Once the giant ring of investments catches up with itself, the snake eats its own tail, the bottom drops out, and the greatest economic crash the world has ever seen stampedes unfettered through the lives of every person on the planet.

To look at this another way: the government of South Korea has decided to give people the feeling of a strike without actually letting it affect bottom lines in any meaningful way. That is, they have relegated the strike (a key utility of those fighting for workers’ rights) to being a tool used solely to assuage discontent in the short term. Without economic teeth, it cannot be used to enhance the lives of workers, which is ultimately the explicit goal of any strike.

South Korea is of course not alone in reducing or eliminating the rights of its citizens so that corporations continue to profit at their expense.
