Pushback Against AI Hype is Increasing as AI Failures Continue to Increase
As Silicon Valley investors continue investing in the AI hype that started at the end of 2022 with Microsoft's release of ChatGPT, many now are beginning to wake up to the fact that AI's promises are still all hype at this point, and may never develop into the techno-prophecies that continue to make the news each day. LLM AI's failures after its introduction over a year and a half ago now, are starting to wake up investors and others who look beyond the hype. A couple of weeks ago Jeffrey Funk and Gary Smith published an article on Market Watch, an investor go-to source owned by the Dow Jones company that includes Barron's and the Wall Street Journal, titled: "Big Tech’s ‘fake-it-till-you-make-it’ hype is now infecting AI". This is still the minority view on Big Tech and AI, to be sure, but that is only because there are still too many Silicon Valley Billionaires and Venture Capital firms with way too much money to spend, and are willing to take a chance on investing in science fiction with the hope and belief that it will some day all come true in the future. Once the money dries up, which may happen a lot sooner than Silicon Valley enthusiasts realize, all this hype will come to an end. Some, however, are not waiting for that crash to come, and are already abandoning AI, realizing that a year and a half has been sufficient time to actually produce something of value in the real world, because what is currently being seen in the real world where AI is being implemented, is not positive, but negative. For these business leaders in the REAL WORLD, there are calls to stand against AI, and be "pro-human." Consumers still have the most power to stop AI and Big Tech, by refusing to use their products. Forget about voting in national elections, and start voting with your dollars instead! This is what the tyrants cannot control, and where the REAL voting power exists. One sector where we are currently seeing pushback against technology is in the grocery self-checkout market, where major grocery retailers like Walmart and Kroger are actually abandoning this technology due to customers not wanting to use it. The tyrants cannot rule over the masses without the consent of the masses. This has ALWAYS been true, because we vastly outnumber them.
