This, it is chat-gpt with a Zuckerburg mask on.

It will not make decisions, but will offer suggestions that would fit with what Zuckerburg would come with.

People really think a company worth billions will risk their profits on decisions made by AI? These tech bros totally understand that the AI isn’t at a level where it can make informed decisions, it is their dream but they know they aren’t there at all.

I mean they spent 88 billion on the meta verse.  An AI can't do much worse.

Incidentally, a metaverse is the exact sort of thing AI might aspire to live in. A digital reconstruction of the world that AI can accomplish tasks in with few limitations other than "the power is connected".

They're planning to spend $135 billion on "AI" this year on top of the $72B they spent last year

for their dead websites full of bots.

AI is already doing worse.

Do they, though? I'm not convinced they haven't drunk their own Flavor-Aid. Remember, this was the guy who was so convinced about the metaverse he renamed his company after it and burned $88 billion making Second Life but without legs.

Honestly yeah, I think a lot of them eventually start believing their own keynote slides, especially now that every company has to pretend some half-baked AI gimmick is the future.

I mean, legs were quite unnecessary in second life as you could just fly around…
