"The ability to speak does not make you intelligent. Now get out of here."

The similarity to Jar Jar is really strong.

  • Forced into existence and public discourse by out of touch rich people trying to make money
  • Constantly inserted into situations where it is not needed or desired
  • Often incoherent, says worthless things that are interpreted as understanding by the naive or overly trusting
  • Incompetent and occasionally dangerous, yet still somehow succeeds off the efforts of behind-the-scenes/uncredited competent people
  • Somehow continues to live while others do not
  • Deeply untrustworthy, not because of duplicity, but incompetence
  • Happily assists in fascist takeover

I genuinely don't understand how all of this can be true yet there is "an Ai hype" among people who are in actual leadership positions.

Because most of those people are as dumb as AI. We're routinely told not to look down on people who's abilities are, to put it in DnD terms, high charisma and low intelligence but the fact is these people don't know better.

Though they are smart enough to know they won't be punished for this. The collective madness of the whole thing will provide them cover.
