This is the biggest problem of the tech bros. They want our jobs replaced by AI and still expect us to pay for... AI. This does not compute.

I lived well before AI. I don’t need AI.

If users can’t afford subscriptions, and consumers can’t afford products, who exactly are ads for - ghosts with credit cards?
@robl326
Not only don't I want to pay for it, I don't want to use it or buy anything that uses it.

This AI scam is probably the biggest resource misallocation in the history of capitalism.
@xander9460
If the government tries to use your tax money to bail out these tech companies. DO NOT FCKING LET THEM!

Just to remind you all that all these companies making AI are subsidized by taxpayers.

The subscription economy is parasitic. Only so many parasites a host can handle until it dies.
@Pearlsandhearts
I can’t believe these tech bros are just… allowed to destroy the planet and society and force us to pay for it. How is this even possible? Oh yeah, those wonderful people we all know and love.
@Silverghost991
The AI bubble can't pop fast enough.

The enshittification begins.

Who would have known letting the scammer chosen merchant class run the world could go wrong?

Privatize the profits
Socialise the losses
Sam Altman said ads in ChatGPT would be a “last resort.” That was just over a year ago. Now OpenAI is burning billions monthly, sitting on $1.4 trillion in commitments, with only 5% of users paying. Turns out the last resort came fast when people can’t afford yet another subscription.
