    Ever heard of critihype? These companies are pretending their tech is so amazing it’s dangerous to create hype, and Bernie is perpetuating that marketing ploy by responding this way.

    Again, I literally don't understand what you're saying. Not because what you're saying doesn't make sense but the conclusion you're drawing and your interpretation is absurd.

    You are not only not right, you're not even wrong.

    Yes they work to hype tech for investors. No Bernie is not perpetuating anything by saying this that's just so silly. AI genuinely will be used and make money and this tech isn't going to disappear, it does have value not this much value but it's genuinely cutting edge and will likely be in many industries. Bernie has no political or personal interest in that, he is stating the lawlessness and recklessness of this tech needs to be roped in by the government which is his job.

    I literally don't understand how you got to your conclusion that AI tech is useless and Bernie is supporting it by saying this. It's just the thinking of someone whose brain has been rotted by the idea that AI=BAD.

    AI is just a boring tool to do boring things, things I use it for. I’m not a single minded ideological purist. If Bernie wants to rope in the shitty business practices by hyperscalers, say that. Don’t headline “pause AI development” because that is exactly what critihype is.

    edit: by the way, you are putting a lot of words in my mouth. I never said or implied AI is useless, just that there is a bubble fueled by bullshit. You’re jumping to conclusions not warranted by the original comment.

    AI is literally a fantastic pattern recognition technology and has the ability to take complex information and visualize it in ways a human mind cannot. Those are pretty useful.

    Not sure how you think what he's doing is critihype. Never put any words in your mouth. Don't understand why the headline, Bernie didn't write, has to be changed when everything he said is pretty true.

    You did imply AI is useless you literally just reaffirmed that calling it boring. Never jumped to any conclusion, the conclusion I came to was that your perspective is goofy and literally matches the AI is both bad and dangerous. A bubble is dangerous.
