Bing was much, much better, before they nerfed it to the ground.

The same as ChatGPT.

Sarcasm, of course.

Yeah, people burning other people for witchcraft were the gods of reason, and the tools that make research more accessible and easier to do dumbed us down so much.

Ironically, the notion of how humans are getting dumber than in old good times IS the exact problem it is trying to address. We humans are extremely biased, scared of any change and are addicted to feeding our ego with nonsense to feel like we are better than the others.

As if it wasn't happening without the AI.

The governments are gradually removing freedoms of the citizens wielding far more power than the societies can control. More and more countries around the world are falling into authoritarian and totalitarian regimes where human rights don't exist. Fake news are spreading so much they are vastly outnumbering the real facts. Most people don't care about anything other than their own comfort and running away from any responsibility, allowing people destroying freedom to do whatever they want.

If anything, AI is our chance to avoid extinction or dystopian world of slavery.

It poses a great existential danger, sure. But things are so dire right now that even with its great danger in mind it's still our best chance.

Or even that the output on the screenshots is real and not edited in the web browser developer tools.

And yet there are still a lot of people with "if you did nothing wrong you have nothing to hide" mentality, justifying and defending invasions into privacy from governments and corporations.

Because people who are using the AI to generate stuff like this are making it look in the eyes of the broad public like a tool for being either a criminal or just a piece of shit.

Which inevitably leads to calls for banning it, or neutering it to the point it becomes absolutely crippled. Which is what already happening.

Google requires you to do manual work to get the results. AI gives you an easily digestible result straight away.

This is no contest.

OpenAI is already working on providing the user with the links to the sources to what the AI claims. I'm pretty sure that eventually those sources will be ranked for their reliability, and everything that AI says will have something like a "certainty" rating displayed.

They will, but only when there will be enough pressure from open source tools to make them compete.

If any of their competitors will offer an equally restricted, censored and neutered to oblivion product, we will stagnate hard.

Money are not the problem.

The real problem is the level of the society, where normal people who just want to use the tool are stuck between people who abuse it to produce "funny" content about Hitler, racism and such, and Karens who have a life goal of banning absolutely everything on Earth.

Things like ray tracing can be very beautiful, but almost in every case complex graphics mean the entire budget and time have been spent on it, instead of the quality of the actual gameplay.

Also it is very rare to see good art direction in a game with complex graphics as well. It's like graphical complexity is used to hide creative emptiness of a game.

Hopefully more and more people will start realizing that the graphical complexity is far inferior to the quality of the actual gameplay.

AI allows to drastically change the way the games behave. The game worlds can finally become alive, as opposed to be a static thing that is not worth playing anymore once you beat the storyline one time.

Games can become a thing that you can to return into every day and it will still stay fresh.
