The elites are loving it. They now have an even more convincing technology to control the masses. The masses will even allow this technology into their most private areas, their cars and homes. The masses will become comfortable and before we know it, once again they are "programmed". The hard work to prove the media deception will be gone.

AI will replace MSM as the "go to" by the ignorant and lazy who refuse to research on their own before voting. AI will be used to indoctrinate at a higher level than the MSM could ever dream of or hope to be.

Now ya know!!

All AI does is scour the web and conglomerate everything it finds on whatever subject.

I foresee the day when AI is just scouring the web for what other AI ‘bot posted and it will be an entirely AI generated universe.

Absolutely... It will create an alternate reality from reality.

I’ve seen so much inaccurate information generated by AI the I can’t take it seriously.

I don’t see how AI could do a worse job than the dinosaur media. I lost count of the stories I read about incidents I was worked and if they hadn’t given the location, I wouldn’t have guessed it was supposed to be the same place.

If the Drive-By Media creepozoids are the ones programming the algorithm, not much will change.

There are so, so many choices outside of the Drive-By Media. El Rush-Bo broke their Monopoly, and they haven’t been the same since.

Imagine a town, then a city, then a virtual environment, all shouting with pride “We are an AI-free zone.” Back to the basics. Checking, rechecking, and then verify with multiple real sources.

AI will disrupt lots of things.

The cool thing about AI is that it has no morals, only guardrails.

It can be bargained with. It can’t be reasoned with. It doesn’t feel pity, or remorse, or fear.

I personally think AGI will be a very bad thing for the human race, but I do not think it can be stopped unless there is some kind of global extinction event.

the sad thing is that if ever there is such an event, a remaining AI and some humans left they would rely on it even more.

I wonder how long it’s lifecycle would be.

I have some hard drives that lasted 20 years in service

I have some early apple][ stuff that still works

I have worked with the nvidia and amd AI cards which take massive power and the cooling solutions are not great, but they expect all these cards to be replaced by year 5 or 6.

I see no need for "anchors" for news or sports in local TV anymore. They are simply reading off a teleprompter anyway. Why not save money and just have an AI generated person read it?

Weather still probably needs a real person to interpret for storm situations.

It’s funny how the loudest critics of AI are often people who don’t actually use it.

I use it regularly to analyze companies and markets, and to evaluate a wide range of financial news. Yes, I double-check its work carefully—because it can still make mistakes—but the error rate has dropped significantly over time.

Hallucinations happen, but they’re usually easy to catch if you know your subject. As a safeguard, I cross-check outputs between OpenAI 4o and Grok 3.

Bottom line: it’s incredibly fast, and when used properly, it’s a game-changer. I can now do in hours what used to be impossible. As an investor in disruptive tech, I feed SEC filings from multiple companies (sometimes ten at a time) into AI models and have them evaluate and rank those companies across a wide range of metrics—adjusting as needed for up-to-the-minute news. It’s like having a team of very smart, very eager associates: you’re still responsible for quality control, but your productivity multiplies tenfold (at a minimum).

One thing you can do with AI is pick some one you know very well. A private figure... and have it tell you everything about the person. You will realize how limited it is.

Wrong information and missed information.
