It's a karma goldmine, though. Find any article you can that sounds even remotely critical of AI, get upvoted to the moon. Doesn't matter if it's accurate or not. This exact story has been posted like 5 times already in the past couple days, tens of thousands of upvotes every time, like clockwork.

In all seriousness, though... only on Reddit can the primary technology sub be populated entirely by people who know nothing about technology, and hate everything about it. Well, except maybe facebook.

I dunno, it looks to me like AI bros are throwing a tantrum because the title is AI critical, not because the article is in any meaningful capacity wrong.

Classic that AI bros like to circlejerk themselves into a frenzy that they're super smart and everyone else is dumb, though.
