I am so baffled by the sudden omnipresence and cultural acceptance of AI. I think the whole thing is a misnomer, anyway, because it is not “intelligence” so much as amalgamated and regurgitated data. It’s run using exploited labor and is killing the environment. So, why is everyone acting like it’s mandatory that we all use it?

Here’s my take: if the technocrat billionaire ruling class is pushing it, you can guarantee that it’s not actually going to make our lives easier, but make THEIR lives easier. Having a populace that has outsourced all their critical thinking skills to chat bots is beneficial to them. That means we can be even more easily manipulated and controlled. In a world of rapidly diminishing resources, a populace that is docile will be delayed in dismantling these systems.

Anyway. Here are some drawings I made about AI.
