I choose evaluate claims on their merit. Many times in the past I was convinced by good arguments that came from people I dislike.
I think Zitron is wrong in the usefulness of AI; but then again, so are the people hyping AI way beyond its capabilities.
The numbers he brings up in the article are solid though.
That said, if Zitron irks you, you can watch the most recent Patrick Boyle video on the big tech debt: https://youtu.be/NufJ7g63KSY?is=2Eh70U7gleoriLO9
This is a guy that comes purely from the financial angle as has no obvious ideological stance in being either pro or against AI. Also pretty balanced in his delivery.
Some numbers he brings up should make even AI hypers question the sanity of this whole thing.
