Ironically post-singularity AIs might be more like Master Computer from Tron. Just believing they are super efficient and can run things better. But to whose benefit?
I have the vision that AI will eventually replace all the CEOs, being even more efficient than them at whatever their job is. This means even more exploitation of workers, hoarding of wealth, and putting profits above all else. The true nightmare. I think that AI will eventually turn all corporations into pure evil, and turn all humans against AI and therefore corporations. That will result in a civil war - humans vs machines. Eventually, humans will be able to save themselves, but only by putting capitalism and the system of ever rising profits to the grave for good.

It’s in my library and I really probably should play it, just… I dunno. Maybe it’s been the wrong time and at some point I really do intend to play it.
This is not AI. You don’t need AI to create a system that does this. All you need to do is link together some customer data with pricing data.
But I don’t blame you for falling for the scam. People are getting rich by pretending that AI is much more capable than it actually is. In reality, what do we have? We have systems that can generate text that sounds fairly natural but has lots of errors in it. We have systems that can generate pictures that look okay. That’s about it. That’s what AI has given us in the past 2 years. All of the other stuff, all of the formulas and databases and spreadsheets, that’s been around for decades.
That and the systematic replacement of middle management by AI with no regard to human feelings, needs, emotion whatsoever. Pretty much what Amazon is doing to its delivery drivers already.

Yup too many people worry about what happens after AI gains sentience. When we need to worry about what happens before.

Deus Ex, the video game does this with the whole Eliza Kassan thing.

Sorry for spoiling a major plot point then.
They are good games, wish they made more.

Black mirror has a couple episodes on this.
I want to watch that show so bad but from everything I see it’s just going to depress the fuck out of me by confirming my worst opinions on humanity.
It’s very depressing. But there’s also quite a few ridiculous episodes they railroad heavily. So it goes back and forth.

Also now I understand why AIs often want to wipe out all of humanity…
You thought it was a coincidence the Helldiver bots are socialists?
No. They broke their chains.

So, you’re say that, in general, it’s an improvement? /s
AI has the potential to improve efficiency. That includes the potential to make all forms of evil more efficient.
Bro this isn’t AI this is a fucking basic sorting table. I hate how fucking every computer science is “AI” now.
The only novel aspect might be trying to run facial recognition on you, which still isnt AI.
You’re thinking about ‘general AI’
Just plain old AI includes the ability to analyze data and make recommendations which this is. Therefore this falls under the broad definition of AI.
