#I hate that genai ruined so many sci-fi movies and shows that have ai characters too

[oatmealspet]

Just ranting a little here but man…

This is the shit I see where I am like… don’t we have laws and shit where a person can get in serious trouble for giving out life threatening misinformation of their given profession? Like if a doctor prescribes two medications that are known to cause death or serious consequences when mixed would def lose their license and maybe jail time for malpractice (don’t quote me on that but as far as I know you likely will go to court and at the bare minimum lose your medical license)

But here we have AI spreading complete horseshit that at times is literally life threatening. GenAI (aka machine learning because it isn’t actually Artificial intelligence let’s be fucking real here) should never have been put out in the public in the ways we are seeing it before going through tons of testing and regulation. There should be laws made that will result in severe consequences for a product you created confidently sharing life threatening misinformation imo. But there is literally nothing in place to regulate it and it is being forced into almost every aspect of our lives.

Also I know the legal system in itself is fucked but at least it’s SOMETHING in comparison to shit going off the rails and ruining literally everything it touches. This shit would never have seen the light of day as we see genAI now if we didn’t live in this late stage capitalistic hellscape where all that really matters is if a thing makes company stocks go up or down or save money from having to pay people living wages to do a job.

Fucking dystopian
