@SabiLewSounds@mastodon.social @dlakelan@mastodon.sdf.org @cwebber@social.coop @andrewrk@mastodon.social Taking this a step further, there's even Opportunity that flows from the disruptive introduction (dumping) of LLMs into global society and damn all externalities. AI puts yet another layer of indirection between relationships that people have with each other. Its widespread use and the "digital transformation" trend in general (another bad hype) leads to further erosion of the social fabric of society. To the benefit of the power brokers who own the technology. But the other way to look at it is that Big Tech by offering all that, is in fact *retracting* from the market of directly serving people and their daily needs. Their inhumane services thus leave open market space, that can be filled in by small players that serve this niche instead. How many people are excited to bump into an AI chatbot online and on the phone, when they need support from a corporation? No one. Sustainable business and sustainable open social systems are the way.
