Honestly I find these cavalier statements to be in incredibly poor taste. Unless you are completely blind it's obvious that AI is the most significant piece of technology invented since the Atomic Bomb and could very well be the most important thing ever built by Humans full stop. This kind of dismissive attitude is childish and will likely lead to incredibly bad outcomes for humanity.

Even if all that is true, why shouldn't people be able to joke about it? Your sentiment is borderline AI worship.

The atomic bomb destroyed cities and changed the face of war.

The launch video for Astra has 'can upload a photo to Ebay' as a highlight.

Yes, but precisely because it's capable of producing the economic equivalent of a nuclear explosion.

Please tell me that’s satire, it’s literally impossible to differentiate from actual AI boosters
