I believe it’s because society is collectively entering the first stage of grief — denial — over the very scary possibility that we humans may soon lose cognitive supremacy to artificial systems.

Pure AI hype-drivel garbage. We call it slop because it’s slop. We SEE that it’s slop. This is a full on rejection of the thing that the technology is: what it does, how it does it, what it’s trying to accomplish.

ML will always have a place in the sciences, and of course there are new things that have yet to be invented. But the current trend is a dead end and we’re all trying to swiftly smother it to death to put it out of our collective misery.

The two capabilities that are cited most often in this regard are “creativity” and “emotional intelligence.” Unfortunately, there is no proof that AI will not surpass us in these areas. In fact, there is increasing evidence that the opposite is likely true.

There is no proof that it won’t surpass us in these areas? There is no proof that it will! Wishes and dreams!
