19. Except AI does not work like they promise
Mon Feb 23, 2026, 01:30 PM

Try to make biology test questions about commensalism/mutualism/etc. and the AI will swap animals without regrads to facts -- it can write a test question that beavers are apex predators; that killer whales and great white sharks have mututalism relationship. It thinks that all animals are interchangable.

Then eventually communities are going to make these AI behemoths pay for the electricity and then it will all shut down.

AI is more likely to burst than cause massive layoffs for white collar employees because the GIGO model means that most of what it spits out is garbage...good enough to fool an MBA in managemnet (especially the closer to the C-suite that you get) but not anyone with real knowledge in an industry
