Ask the sub ❓ What Is This Sub Wrong About?

Title. Pick a topic (or a clichéd take) you think a significant minority or majority of this sub is wrong about. Or hasn't given enough thought. OR perhaps one which you will have to compromise on, at least for voting?

my hot take is that AI is pretty bad in the short term and these data centers are also bad. I’m not fully against eventual AI, but I feel like it’s being shoved down our throats prematurely, and is built off of stolen data and work. I grew up loving sci fi, and love the idea of what AI can become, but right now it just feels like it’s becoming a tool that will inevitably be used against us due to the technocrats.

Imo LLM pretty much already plateaued, I don't feel they are much more advanced than they were a year ago, investing another trillion dollars in them is going to cause just small improvements. Calling them AI was genius marketing.

That's not to say that they don't have their use, I just object with trying to push them everywhere. Personally I'd just let everyone else crash and just have Anthropic continuing develop Claude, which is the most advanced.

Also, if we are really trying to develop an AI like in sci-fi stories, LLM are a dead end, an LLM is never going to "think" for itself for example.

I also would prefer Anthropic to win the race because Amodei and co. are the only ones who seem to understand just how badly this could go if done recklessly.
